Happy Almost New Year!!
So, last week I shared with you my reflections from 2016 <original post> and while this a look back it is not thought provoking or sentimental!
I wanted to compile a list that was encompassing of everything I experienced this year but that list proved to be WAY to long for a blog post! So I narrowed it down- as challenging as that was- to the TOP 10 memories or events from the last year. I am so fortunate to have been able to experience so much in the last year and I am so grateful for all the memories I have created and shared with my family and friends. While the list is not inclusive of every memory or event – it does include the most important, special and once-in-a-lifetime moments.

shop the look; denim // tunic sweater // heels // tote
This year I have tried on a lot of clothes- A LOT. And I can say that this tunic sweater and these flare jeans are 1000% the most comfortable items in my wardrobe (not counting pajamas, ha!). I literally wanted to take a nap in them after this shoot! Maybe I did?!? Anyway…. This tunic sweater is soft, cozy, warm, comfortable and currently on sale for under $30 (it also comes in black and white stripe). These flared denim <original post> are some of the most comfortable, easy to wear and perfect fitting jeans I have. They were very long when I got them (and I am 5’7″) so I had them tailored and I left a little bit of length so they can be worn with heels. I love how it keeps the flare just enough to make them look clean and classy. The heels are growing on me and the more I wear them the more comfortable they are! The neutral color makes them perfect for any outfit. I am sure you are tired of me gushing about how great this tote is so I will keep it brief. If you are looking for a life-long investment piece then snag it up ASAP. You wont be sorry.
My Top 10 from 2016-in no particular order (maybe…)
- Visiting 3 continents, 6 countries and countless cities.
- Family beach holiday in Alicante
- Spending one day in Amsterdam with my mom
- Touching down in Africa.
- Listening to Declans British accent develop.
- Watching the little girl I used to nanny for graduate from high school- 13 years after I met her.
- Living in London for 365 days
- The day Rubble (my dog) moved to London
- Launching Pish to Posh
- Celebrating 6 years of marriage
Obviously, this list could be ten times longer but I will leave you with those ten. I hope your list is long and filled with love and laughter. Celebrate all you have accomplished this year- its truly amazing!
As this year comes to a close I want to thank you- each and everyone of you- for all the support and love you have showed me. I am forever beholden to you. Each and every week you come back allows me to continue to do what I love.
thank you. from the bottom of my heart.
See you in 2017,
