2025- The Most Style-ish One Yet

Image: Style-Ish

Hello 2025. I am saying this from within my fresh, teddy bear bedding, new Boux Avenue Pj’s, with 3 burning candles - gingerbread, vanilla and linen- all in the comfort of my childhood home.

Girls, it’s the chance we only get once a year- something that seemed almost impossible just yesterday has become your new habit!

And it got me thinking…

My in’s and out’s of 2025

I have decided, literally right this second, that this is the year I will completely dedicate myself to myself. A year of prioritizing my physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing in order to be the best human I can be to myself, of course, and to my nearest and dearest around me… this may sound like a typical, bog- standard resolution you often hear, but I have a plan.

Ins:

Feel good workouts

I’m so over leaving the gym having hardly sweat or hardly moved, so this year I promise to complete workouts that make me actually feel like I have done something. Ones that make me feel good. For example, Pilates, Zumba, spinning classes.

Signature scents

I dream of being the person that walks into a room, and everybody instantly knows who they are simply through the smallest of hints to their scent. This year I’m determined to become her.

Reading outside of my comfort zone

A romance book with a soppy ending hates to see me coming, literally- I cry at every single one. But I’m eager to explore the world of wider fiction and even wider non-fiction. To stay not only educated and more informed, but also develop my sense of self.

Listening to my body without guilt

I won’t sit here and lie to you; I like you all far too much. I am not going to be replacing my diet with whole, healthy, green foods. I am simply going to listen to what my body wants and needs. No, I’m not going to be ordering a takeaway every night, but I am going to order a chocolate cake for dessert- close enough, right?

No

Thats it, just no. I no longer feel the need to explain myself or create excuses that I know have never or will never be true, it’s just simply no.

Matching PJ sets

For years I have been a hoodie to sleep in girl through and through. But I woke up one morning and something changed inside of me, call it maturity, or call it clean girl aesthetic: but matching PJ sets are so in and I am so in love with it. 

Outs:

Hangziety

I’m so bored of it and I am so bored of being the one to blame every time. Hangovers are out in 2025, we are learning our limits, learning when we don’t need more, and learning that not every occasion needs to involve a drink. It’s a year of finding activities which do not revolve around alcohol people!

Fashion over consumption

Repeat after me:

- I don’t need a new outfit for every occasion

- I don’t need a new outfit for every occasion

- I don’t need a new outfit for every occasion

Let’s stop giving in to micro trends which consume our wardrobes only to be worn and forgotten within minutes.

Being underdressed!

Why are we saving our most fabulous outfits for a better occasion? What better occasion?

We will never be as young and as beautiful as we are now, so we will wear our highest feels to the pub and our mini dresses to mini golf… because why not.

Internet slang

A digital version of us has been formed over recent years, which has slowly been losing more human-like features as time goes on. They don’t use caps locks, they use emojis to communicate and for some reason can’t manage to say full words. I refuse to let it get any further, my caps locks is back on, and phrases like ‘lol’ ‘wyd’ and ‘brb’ are no longer in my vocabulary!

Over sharing

Living a private life is the closest you will ever be to living a peaceful one. Keeping your highest achievement and lowest of falls to yourself and allowing only what you choose to be made public knowledge sounds like a nice environment to be in this year.

Judgement

Not only will I turn my back to the judgement I create on myself, but also the judgement I give out to the world. I definitely don’t need it, and neither does anybody else. 2025 is the year we choose kindness, peace and prosperity.  

I promise to all you lovely readers that I will try and stick to my ins and outs as much as possible, but I also promise that I will not punish myself if I don’t- it’s all of our first times doing this 2025 business am I right!

Have a gorgeous year ladies, filled with lots of love and laughter, but more importantly a lot more Style-ish!
