Looking back on 2012

Most people probably start these posts with "wow! this year just flew by!!" but for me this year dragged on like no other. It was one of my least favorite years so far, and I'm pretty happy to be bidding adieu to 2012 tonight. With that being said, there were some happy moments sprinkled throughout the year and...

ch-ch-changes

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and it's that time of year for thinking about change and life and what we'll do differently after the clock strikes twelve on January 1st. I have lots of changes in mind for my life but today I want to talk about a few I have in mind for this blog. When I started blogging here in 2010,...

at the last minute

Me and my dad always go out shopping at the last minute on Christmas Eve. We've been doing it since I was little, usually walking out the door of the last store right as the manager is coming over the loudspeaker to announce that they're closed. It's such a fun tradition for us, even though it can be kind of...

But I especially loved what I wore this year so I wanted to post it anyway.I hope everyone had a splendid holiday! Mine was amazing. So much fun and so much good food! :) I can never sleep well the night before because...

merry christmas!

Merry Christmas!I think my favorite part of this season is enjoying the traditions that we've had since me and my brother were kids. We wake up super early to open presents and eat breakfast (croissants, every year!) then head over to my grandmom's for brunch, and then it's back home for dinner! Last year me...

Her favorite color is blue...

wednesday in new york

On Wednesday me and my brother went to New York to do some Christmas shopping and see the tree at Rockefeller Center. Even though it's jam-packed with people who had the same idea, it's still incredibly magical. Being in the city this time of year is magical in and of itself... street musicians are playing seasonal...

are you kitten me

I wore this yesterday to go Christmas shopping with my dad. Although this time of year I might as well just wear a potato sack, since I hardly ever take off my winter coat once I'm out the door! It's starting to get really chilly here but not quite chilly enough for snow. It's been raining almost every single...

job interview

My brother posted a new short video on his youtube channel yesterday and I HAD to share it. I know I'm a little biased but I really think he is so brilliant. I love the subtle comedy, his acting, my grandmom's cameo (she is such a trooper with all of our projects lol) and the whole premise. I think it's just...

christmas, take two

I've done a bit more Christmas decorating since my last Christmas post -- not a huge amount but I love the little additions and wanted to share some new pictures! I loved how my tree looked bare, but I love it even more with some mini tinsel and a mid-century style star (both from target) I originally wanted...
