Looking back at 2011

Well friends, it really has been a wonderful blogging year. I consider myself blessed to have such an amazing group of readers and I'm so thankful for all the wonderful opportunities and experiences that have come my way. I thought it'd be fun to not only share some of the outfits I pieced together this year but to also go month-by-month and share a favorite post or two. Which were your favorites?

JANUARY
Our Favorites from the Golden Globes

As many of you know by now, Casee Marie and I recently decided we wanted to blog individually. We learned a lot starting this blog together and had so much fun doing it! One of our favorite things to blog about were red carpet moments!

Rachel Zoe Fall 2011 RTW

Everyone knows how much of a huge Rachel Zoe fan I am, right?
You can't imagine how excited I was over her first collection!

MARCH
Big Bag, Little Bag

I'm stil rather proud of this tutorial on how to go from using a large bag to a smaller bag. It's all about prioritizing and organizing!

SHE Wears: Cat Eye Sunglasses

This was our (as in Casee Marie and I) first in a handful of the "SHE Wears" project.

NOVEMBER
AE Fashion Show

A mini fashion show with twelve models I styled for a holiday store meeting!

Guest post at Made to Last (AEO Official Blog)

One of the highlights of my year, for sure! American Eagle Outfitters asked me to style six holiday looks for women and men for their official blog.

THE OUTFITS

Rather than posting all my outfits from 2011, I chose fourteen to reflect back upon. Looking at these together makes me think "portfolio". Maybe a 2012 goal, hmm?


















Bring on 2012! Happy New Year!
