This wasn’t just any old new year. It is the start of a new decade and the end of a challenging one. It is SA VA’s first decade in fact and we are looking to make the most of it. So, we collectively made a list of things we as individuals and a company wanted to achieve this year. We didn’t make the list of normally breakable items (i.e. I want to lose 10lbs by next week or I am going to stop eating chocolate), we really looked at it as things to be committed to and ways to ‘be’.
We resolve to: Be happy, live healthy, make style effortless, create a new trend, do 1 thing every day that makes someone else happy, reduce our carbon footprint, volunteer.
We also thought that there were just some things that we would like to leave behind in 2009! Starting with: unbalanced lifestyle, predictability, pollution, stress, negativity, selfishness, and passivity.
Now, there is of course the issue of how we plan to achieve these resolutions. So we came up with a few ideas on that: Experiment with new SA VA prints, Mix unusual fabric combinations, take a fashion risk, host a canned food drive at SA VA, eat less chocolate (ok, this is a personal one), find new uses for scrap fabrics, use inspiring trims, use less paper in the office, wear our values.
