What a year it’s been! 2015 was the best year of my life so far.
We traveled a lot (New York twice, Palm Springs several times, Arizona, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Mexico…) got married and bought a house! It’s been pretty non-stop and I’m not going to lie, I’m looking forward to slowing down a bit in 2016.
I wanted to share my favorite photos from the blog this year. You can click on any image for the original blog post.
If there’s ever a place to wear a red dress and matching red lip it’s The Hollywood Roosevelt hotel. I always get “Old Hollywood” vibes there because of it’s history. Last weekend we went to a movie premiere, after party and spent the night in the hotel. This little red dress was the perfect piece for that late night. I kept warm in a classic trench.
Can we take a minute and talk about these shoes? I got them a few years ago but they’ve recently been re-released. They may seem like such a statement shoe, but I’ve seriously gotten so much wear out of them. I wore them with a jumpsuit last spring in New York, but my favorite way to wear them is with jeans and a white button down. It really takes a casual look up a few notches while showcasing the heel.
I’m savoring summer nights where the sun is still out when Jeff gets home from work. We’ve been eating on our patio almost every night and it’s just so nice. This dress is perfect for ushering in those late summer days that turn into nights. Not to mention it’s perfect price. I love everything about it, the color blocking and pleats scream “twirl,” which I tried doing the night we took these pics. I bought this hat while I was in New York and have been wearing it non-stop. Make sure to snatch one up before it sells out!
Our last day in New York we had the whole day to play tourist and wander aimlessly around the city. Our fitbits really got a workout and we both said how in shape we’d be if we lived there. Now that we’re home I’m trying to get in the habit of taking more walks… at least around our neighborhood.
I stayed comfortable in my favorite denim jacket and really had to fit the wind with my hat. I wore it without realizing how windy it was because I needed to hide my dirty hair. Am I the only one who really stretches the amount of time between shampoos? #lazygirlproblems
I just got back from a quick trip to New York. I flew out Thursday night to cover bridal fashion week with The Knot, which was such an amazing experience! We lucked out with perfect weather and were really able to enjoy the city between shows. I planned on wearing this dress to dinner Saturday but ended up changing last minute because I was actually a little warm in it! Crazy, right?!
But go with me and pretend this was my dinner outfit. I wanted to edge up this sweet white dress with my favorite body chain. Like I mentioned here they’re the perfect accessory to mix up your look. I love how the rose gold looked layered over the textured lace of the dress.
