Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve!
I’m partying it up with some friends here à Paris. What are you guys getting into?
With the New Year comes New Year’s Resolutions and we at the Fashion Bomb definitely want to step it up in 2010!
Before I launch into my resolutions, however, let’s take a quick look at my goals from last year:
1. Dress like Carine Roitfeld of French Vogue (Still a work in progress, but I’m getting there!)
2. Read more Fashion Literarature (I keep Phaidon’s Fashion Book by my bedside)
3. Continue to Expand the Fashion Bomb (Yup. Redesign Down, Server Transfer Happening this Weekend!)
That’s it!
My eyes always on the prize, here are my fashion resolutions for ’10.
1. Take more fashion risks
I’ll admit, I’m a conservative Suzy, and had to force myself to stop buying J.Crew blazers, skinny jeans, and button downs last year! Though I tend to go for a classic look, I realize I have the freedom to get it poppin’ with vintage, cool shades, and much more. I live in the capital of fashion and am finally going to take advantage and try some hot trends. As Coco Chanel once said, “You live but once, you might as well be amusing.” Stay tuned!
2. Switch up my hairstyle
I started out red, went for blond, faded to black, and now I am bored. I don’t think I’m going to go for shaved sides, but maybe I’ll tip my toe back into some color or learn how to sweep my locks into different styles (I have no idea how to do this!). If anything, I’m sure I can experiment with hats, headbands, or clips. Mamma needs a change!
3. Get my travel on
France is super close to a host of other countries in Europe and Africa, so I need to get moving! Though I dipped into London and Corsica last year (and went back home dozens of times), I’m itching to see more of the world and continue to fine tune my global sense of fashion and style.
4. Continue to Expand the Fashion Bomb!
As we mentioned here, 2009 was a great year, but we still have a ways to go! With more international fashion weeks (Milan and London, here we come!), posts, and celeb interviews, hopefully your faithful FBomb can climb that Style 9 list from #83 to top 10! If you have any suggestions on how we can do this, leave a comment.
That does it for me!
What are some of your New Year’s Fashion Resolutions?
Smootches!
*Have a safe, wonderful, fun-filled New Years! Vuitton and I will be off starting tomorrow, and the site will be transferring to a new server this weekend. We’ll be back and ready to boogie on Monday!

Happy New Year Claire, Vuitton and the fashionbomb crew. I am a devotee of the fashionbomb and would love to see you go on forever! I think one way of improving the site is by having sharper photography. Just looking at other sites, I think better quality pictures would really making the fashion choices jump off the page especially for your street fashion posts.

As for your locks, from a fellow locked fashionista who had no idea what to do with her hair in between salon appointments, there are some great DIY tutorials on youtube.
Happy New Year, Bon Anee.

Good luck on your resolutions. I love your site because its inspiring. I am with you on being a conservative Suzy. That is always one of my resolutions, but, its something about classic style that has a hold on me. I wish the Fashion Bomb an abundance of success.
