New Goals for 2020
Blouse || Pants || Heels || Handbag || Earrings || Bracelet
Here we are. It’s not just the start of a new year, but the start of a whole new decade! I took the first day to truly veg out with David, but I’ll be starting the year 2020 off with an obligatory post about goals and resolutions for the new year. Even if no one reads it, I love sharing this publicly to the universe. You never know who needs to read it or where accountability can form.

2019 was such an amazing year for my blog. I’m most proud of the fact that I nearly tripled my readership. While I think living in New York was a huge factor in this, because St. Pete isn’t known as a fashion capitol, I hope to keep this momentum going into 2020. For me this means truly posting daily, sharing more about my personal life, and documenting my travels around the Sunshine State.
Serve as Your Guide to St. Pete, Florida
Speaking of St. Pete, one of my big goals for the new year is to become an unofficial/official ambassador to the city I love so much. I’ve lived in the area for nearly my entire life, seeing it positively change so much along the way. It truly should be a top Florida destination. Later this week, I’ll be starting a new weekly series on the blog, and a fun Instagram side project, to share the best that this city on the bay has to offer.
Travel!
Isn’t this one everyone’s list? Well, it’s certainly been mine for the past few years. Admittedly, I wish I gave myself more opportunities for travel while living in New York. Between JFK and Newark, I have direct flight access to nearly the entire world! The Tampa Airport, while much smaller, still gives me a lot of options. A quick drive to the Ft. Lauderdale or Miami airports still make traveling abroad extremely easy. Even just staying in Florida, I have way too many places in my home state that I’ve never explored. I hope all of that changes in 2020.
Save Some Money
This is probably the most ‘adult’ item on this little list. Now that we’re back in Florida, we can have a real conversation about buying a home and starting a family. Neither of those things would be wise without taking the nest few years to save up money. I know that doesn’t match with more travel goals, but it’s all about finding a happy balance. David is a budget extraordinaire and has crunched the numbers to get us where we need to be.
Cheers to a new year! Since sharing goals and resolutions is about sharing accountability, I would love to know what’s on your list! Feel free to share in the comments. We can all help each other be successful!
Love from Florida,
Katie
