Yet another year has flown by before our eyes–really, where did the time go?!? 2012 witnessed magazine features, TV appearances, and the growth of The Fashion Bomb staff.
I have quite a few goals for 2013, but first, let’s take a look at what I wanted to accomplish for 2012!
1. Attend even more fashion weeks
My international travels took me to the British Virgin Islands this past year, but I’d love to diversify even more! Australia, Brazil, and Japan are all on my short list. I’m really going to try to do it up for 2013–hold me to it!
2. Take more fashion risks
I’ve experimented with braids and platinum blond locks, and that’s only the beginning of my style evolution. I’m still working on breaking out of my conservative shell; in 2013 I promise to push the fashionable envelope.
3. Do More TV
In addition to adding more to our Fashion Bomb TV repertoire, I had the fab opportunity to announce on BET’s Rip the Runway and chat with Wendy Williams! I hope to use my celeb style knowledge for even more on air appearances.
4. Launch a Lifestyle Site
Well…TheBombLife.com has launched, but I haven’t made time to add anything to it! Hopefully I’ll be able to update with my favorite restaurants, places to shop, and more next year!
In 2013, I hope to:
1. Make Fashion Bomb TV into a weekly/bi-monthly show.
Instead of occasional episodes, I’d love to have weekly or biweekly episodes with celebrity interviews, boutique spotlights, and event coverage. Upcoming designer? It girl around town? Hit me up!
2. Strive for more exclusives and guest posts
You guys loved when Angela Simmons blogged with us for a week. It’s always fun to get an insider view from a star whose style we admire. Who else would you like to see?
3. Commit to snapping more Street Style.
I used to put up Real Style every Monday; I’ve been slacking! I know you guys like to see what’s hot on the streets. I’ll learn how to use my DSLR *cough* and bring it in 2013.
4. Continue to build the Fashion Bomb Team
This blog has benefited greatly from the diverse voices of our staff members. From Jihan’s snarky fashion news tidbits to Cliché and Faith’s celebrity style wizardry, the Fashion Bomb is now an assemblage of smart writers united with a common love of multicultural fashion. We could always use more fashionable perspectives–I’m looking forward to see who submits their candidacy in our next internship contest!
We’ve also been super blessed to have graphics designer Ashley, webmaster Zillz, photographer Marta, and videographer Samuel Centore on our squad!
And this year wouldn’t have been half as special without Fashion Bomb Readers. You make blogging fun–and you give me a reason to wake up and get to work;) Your thoughtful comments and e-mails, good or bad, inspire and motivate me to be a better blogger.
Let’s keep the party going in 2013.
What are your New Year’s Resolutions?
