2016 FAVORITE EIGHT

Why 8, you may ask?

Honestly… because I like that it rhymes.

It’s been an exciting year for me both personally and professionally. I started working at a new company, began the year as a newlywed, and got to do some great traveling. I also started my new blog, which has been such an exciting adventure. And the best excuse to do more shopping! So here are some of my favorite posts from this year – because I’m a sucker for any trip down memory lane.

I love this outfit not only because the pants are insanely comfy, but it was right in the middle of the Cubs going to the World Series. What a fun time to live in Chicago, even if you hate sports like I do.

Living away from my family sucks, so I was so happy I got to celebrate my birthday this year with my parents and my one of my best friends from New York. Bottomless mimosas, oysters, and good laughs makes the best celebration.

Because it’s an all pink outfit with a pink backdrop… should I say more?

This DIY was so much fun! My best friend had a baby this year, and making the favors for her baby shower was such a special treat.

I love being able to visit New York, even if it’s for a short weekend. This trip was so much fun, and I ended up running into my Kindergarten teacher on the street. Also, pizza.

This was one of my first outfit posts of the year, and was shot over last year in Los Angeles. I’ve worn this skirt to death this year and don’t plan on stopping in 2017.

This was by far my favorite trip of the year. I loved, loved, loved Palm Springs and even though it was the middle of the summer and brutally hot, we had so much fun. My only regret is we didn’t stay longer!

This was one of the biggest pinch me moments of 2016. When I found out my wedding was going to be features on Brides.com, the website I used so much in 2015 to plan my wedding, I screamed. I loved being able to relive the day through the story they shared, and going through all of the photos.

I can’t wait to see what 2017 is going to bring. And of course, I’ll be sharing it all here ;).

Happy new year!
