2013
Looking back at 2013. I feel humbled, grateful and motivated. I moved to live in Budapest, Hungary for work and continued to travel monthly to Barcelona where my boyfriend lives, I relaunched my blog and changed it's name from La Passion pour la fashion to LaKatWalk to make it more true to who I am today and to better fit to where I am heading, due to nature of my job and long distance relationship I traveled a lot so this year I LaKatWalked through Brussels, Vitoria, Milan, Barcelona, Dubrovnik, London and Budapest and shared my experiences with you through travel category of my blog.
Due to generosity of my blog partners you also had a chance to win wonderful gifts from Estee Lauder make up, Ženski rokovnik planners and Picard purse and passport cover, AddMyBerry t-shirt and wonderful headphones by Nove Boja Zvuka.
The top 3 posts you liked the most in the past year were:
Now when 2014. has started I actually feel excited and motivated, it feels like a clean slate, new page turned and it is a new opportunity to review last years goals, both accomplished and those left unfinished and set more realistic ones which are true to what I really want, challenging but realistic and precise but let me share more on the way I am setting my goals in the next post. ;)
As I got a beautiful new 'blogger' Nikon camera for Christmas from my boyfriend, now you can expect some more of my personal outfit photo and video posts combined with travel journals, as well as more beauty and recipe tips coming in 2014.
This year my boyfriend had a practice on the January 1st and his parents came over to visit us for holidays here in Barcelona so we didn't partied to much,we rather stayed at home until just a bit after midnight, ate some of the snacks and finger food I put together (yes, you can also expect more recipe posts in 2014. :)) and then went to our favorite restaurant-lounge in Barcelona with a couple of my boyfriends teammates to celebrate.
How did you celebrate the New Years lovelies?
This is my first post in 2013. and with this post I would like to first and foremost thank you, my lovely followers for an amazing year for my blog. In 2012.
I got many creative messages, comments, supportive emails, criticism and great questions from you which helped my blog grow and prosper making it even more fun for me to write and cover the topics you like to read about while still keeping it in line with who I am and what I would like my blog to be. So again, THANK YOU for support and following me, I learned quite a lot from you and had a chance to even meet with some of you in person or digitally and become great friends with.
Also, I would love to thank my Glam publishing team, not only these girls rock at what they do, but they are also super funny and gorgeous from what I could see from their original video holiday card :) Fiona, Ally and Izan - you ladies rock!
PARTNERS.
Finally, I would like to thank the partners and sponsors of my blog with whom I collaborated with on some great campaigns this year like: Swarovski Elements, Red Bull, Fiat, Butterfly Twist, Ženski rokovnik etc.
INTERVIEWS.
In 2012 I was honored to interview some of the already established fashion and jewelry designers but also some very talented young designers and fashion industry professionals like fashion designers: Teo Perić, Ada Zanditon, Sonja Lamut, La Luna London, Aba Drvar Tomičić and Dominika Mandić; make up artist Tom Pecheux; fashion illustrator Lora Vran; musician Carl Bailey; closet organizer Erin Mack and photographer Daša Gajić.
IN PRESS.
In addition I was also interviewed by other wonderful bloggers and fashion portals some of which are Krpa.hr amazing portal with which I am collaborating whenever there is a chance, Cromoda.hr, Stilueta blog and other print and online press appearances which you can see here. Last year I was also given an amazing opportunity to write my own print column for monthly edition of Croatian lifestyle magazine - BudiIn which comes out in distribution of one million every second Wednesday of the month.
LINES OF LIFE.
On a more personal note, from lines of life, this year I grew quite a lot. I learned how to forgive (Double face love , What would you do for love?) , how to love more, I learned how to adapt quickly to new things life throws at me now when I am living in between Spain and Hungary (Balancing it all, Living in between to countries, Running in new heels) I learned to give without thinking absolutely anything in return, I learned who are my true friends and gained many new friends.
With this post and a big THANK YOU I am closing last year and opening exciting 2013. posting season! :)
