New Years!!!

3......2.....1!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!! (Que the kisses at midnight!!!! and for all who are single...bring on the drinks!) I probably say this every New Years but OH GAWD this year went by so fast! Life needs to slow down!!! I haven't accomplished all I need to! - well that and  I found I'm getting ridiculously lazy....that needs to stop for 2014! Now, if I was to go shopping on New Years day - which you know I'll probably be doing - this is something I'd wear. Something quick to change out of just in case I want to try something on and a small over-the-shoulder bag which is in my shopping purse essentials!

New Years Party Look! by elizzabethhope featuring leather sandals

The look is for the party! If I had a fabulous party to attend! The shoes are Miu Miu and totally ah-mazing! I need them in my life like now! Of course I'd be wearing a red dress because red is my favorite color and I went for a statement necklace instead of big earrings (I'm just getting used to big statement earrings...I think they are starting to make a comeback!) 

Don't forget to check out my makeup look to go with these outfits!

Well I hope your year went better then mine...2013 was real unlucky for me but I'm hoping 2014 will be a whole lot better! 

HAPPY NEW YEARS DOLLS!!!!

Lots of Love,

Tips of setting goals and keeping them!

Setting goals is easier said then done! But here are my tips on achieving your goals! My goal right now is getting my hips down to 36 inches so I can go to New York to model! Crazy I know but i'm crazy so it makes sense :P

1. Goal board!! I recently made a goal board on my wall in my bedroom. Right next to my door so whenever I leave I can see it and get motivated!

2. Watch videos of what your goals are! My recent goal is becoming a model and losing 5 inches off my hips. I've been non-stop watching model videos of interviews from backstage of Cara Delevingne, Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls, Jourdan Dunn, and so many more! I've got to see what they do backstage and it's really encouraging me to stay to my goals!!!!

3. Focus on what matters! What does this goal mean to you and why do you want to do it!

4. Set a timeline for this goal if needed. I'm trying to get my hips down to a 36 by the first week in April!

5. Do something everyday to achieve this goal! For me I've been eating heathy and working out! Trying to get to the gym every day for at least a 30 mins on the treadmill!

6. Visualize everyday what the outcome of this goal will be!!! For me it's becoming a top model and going to New York, London, Paris, and Milan for runway shows and to do amazing beautiful editorials for major magazines!

7. It's good to have long time goals but also have short time goals!! Don't forget to reward yourself for them! I'm not allowing myself to buy anything major till I start shedding the hip weight! When I get to a 38 I'm buying myself a new pair of heels...I'm obsessed with shoes...

8. TAKE ACTION! Go out and achieve your goals now!!! Make a plan and go!!! Gogogogogo!!! Woo!

So don't forget to be a goal digger ;) Do it!

Best wishes!!!!
Lots of Love,
Lizzie

Queen Bey Has Arrived

- Picture -

If you've been trapped in a bubble for the past couple of days then you probably don't know that the Queens of all QUEENS Beyonce has released a surprise new album. 14 new crazy amazing songs along side 17 outrageous music videos! I can't believe Beyonce kept this a secret for so long. She took the music world to the next level. And this is why we call her Queen!

My thoughts when listening to each song...
1. Pretty Hurt - YESSS BEYONCE YES! She knows whats going on!
2. Hunted - FREAKING AMAZING. I have no words. The beat is awesome!
3. Drunk in Love (feat. Jay-Z) - New Favorite Song! On repeat! Love how she sings in this! Is that weird? She has a different tone to her I think during the chorus.
4. Blow - Has this 70s vibe to it. I like it! A lot!
5. No Angel - Cause your my angel Beyonce! Duh!
6. Partition - HEY MRS CARTER!!!! Sneeze on the beat and the beat got sicker!
7. Jealous - Who's this about???? Questions Beyyyyy! Questions!!!
8. Rocket - Once again just love this song!
9. Mine (feat. Drake) - OBSESSED ON REPEAT! Beyonce and Drake come on how can that not be amazing!!!!
10. XO - Sounds like it could be the beginning song for a movie or ending I guess but it's just amazing anyway!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
11. ***Flawless (feat. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichine) - PREACH *hands up emoji here*
12. Superpower (feat. Frank Ocean) - Once again such an awesome collab!!!
13. Heaven - Beautiful just beautiful!
14. Blue (feat. Blue Ivy) - Hold on to me!!! Just simply amazing!


        Just everything about this album is perfect!!! Don't get my started with the beats because just as Beyonce says she sneezed on them and they got sicker! So can I just be Beyonce now or am I gunna have to wait till my second life to be her?

ps- Some of these thoughts wont make sense if you don't go listen to the whole album!!! So what are you waiting for!!! Comment if you bought the album or about to go and get it! Tell me what you think!!!

Lots of Love,
Lizzie

Preppy Meets Boho!

I've always said I have a different look towards fashion. One day I'm wicked preppy (mostly during the spring time) and other times I'm so boho chic (Summer time is that time!) BUT there's always that confusion part during the fall/winter time where I can't decided whether to go all preppy or boho! This is one of those days. I have a little bit of both!
