I wasn't going to do a recap of 2017, mainly because I'm super anxious to get started on my goals for 2018. In all honesty, this year was difficult. I battled a lot of personal struggles. But like every year, there were pros and cons...

Pros:
I traveled to Colorado and Ohio.
I went camping and hiking through Zion, the Grand Canyon, Big Sur, and several beaches.
I reconnected with some friends and family.
I continued to record my style, even when I didn't feel very good about myself.

Cons:
Depression, anxiety, self-doubt, laziness.

There were times when I didn't feel the motivation to blog, but I tried my hardest to anyway. I really truly appreciate all of your love, support, and feedback. I wouldn't be able to do this without you and I hope you will continue to stick with me for another (more positive and exciting) year!

Instead of recapping every outfit I wore, I figure I can show you the highlights. Pieces that are my absolute favorites to wear, and that I would buy all over again or would recommend to you.

Little black dress

Polka dots & Millenial pink pumps

Wrap coat

Lace

Distressed jeans

Girly day dress

Classic bag



Now for my favorite posts of the year! Click on each one if you care to go back and read.







Girls Trip to Hollywood



My Experience with Botox

Birthday Weekend in Big Sur

Zion & the Grand Canyon



And my most discussed blog topic of the year, Real Talk: Coming off Meds. That one was terrifying to write, but also extremely cathartic.

Now, let me ask you this. What would you like to see more or less of on this blog next year? I blog for selfish reasons, but I naturally care what you think! You are my friends and I need your input.

Please let me know in the comments or send me a message! Have a wonderful, safe new year's and I will see you on the flip side next week :)

  1. I had a few tough years so I know it can be hard to look back on them, but I love that you are highlighting the positives and not dwelling on the negatives. It can be difficult, but I think those tough years help us appreciate the good years even more. Hope 2018 is a good year for you!

  2. Your pink wrap coat and lace top are definitely two of my favorite pieces you wore! What I want to see more of in 2018: your writing. :) I think you already know that. It's your forte and how I connect with you the most!

  3. It's no easy task to write about anxiety and depression, and I completely respect that you have done that. There always feels like so much pressure to only put forth the best on the blog and to sweep everything else away, even it hurts to keep pretending. I'm happy you are able to focus on the pros of the year and not just the cons, and I hope by the end of 2018 you can have even more ups and fewer downs to reflect on.
