2013 in fashion and photos

The end of another year. This one certainly flew by, and it is another year in which I can reflect and appreciate all the wonderful things this blog has brought into my life. From monthly brunches with my fabulous Connecticut blog friends, to trips to New York City for fashion week fun, to collaborating with some amazing brands, it's been a fun year!

Last January I wrote about resolutions and things I wanted to change in my life. One of those things was that I wanted a new job. Well, I'm half way there now, as I got laid off just before Christmas. Sometimes you just need a little shove in the right direction, right? I am hopeful a new and amazing job is in my (immediate) future! Wish me luck!

  1. Woohoo!! It certainly was a good year! And I think that losing your job was definitely one of those good things! Forcing you to do what you love :)

  2. So sorry that you got laid off before Christmas! But if you've been wanting a new job then, like you said, it's probably for the best! I'd love to hear about journey towards new employment if you ever feel like sharing on the blog. I'm kind of fascinated with how people go about doing that since I have yet to find a real career path... I'm always looking for inspiration!
    Anyway, I'm looking forward to following along in 2014! Happy New Year!

  15. Ugh, I'm sorry to hear about the job. Sometimes you just need to be forced into a change. You'll find something that's a fabulous fit without question. You're too darn smart and talented to stay unemployed for long. xoxo
