my favorite posts of the year

It’s been such a flat-out awesome year for me professionally. This blog, started as a fun little side project so I could showcase some of my inspiration apart from my day job, has grown to be my full-time gig — something about which I am so insanely proud. To me, 2014 will be the year when I really embraced my goal to create more and more content that is unique to myself and that showcases things about which I am most passionate. So, yearbook style, here are my favorite posts of the year!

First up, a lesson in layering with Free People: I really enjoy doing style shoots, so this one combined that love with one of my favorite brands to shop. (photography by Ashley Batz.)

Before I moved to California, I also shared a tour of my Philadelphia apartment. This home tour of my bed nook was by far a favorite of mine. (photography by Ashley Lynn Fry.)

Then there was the time my good friends drove my car across the country to me… (photography by Danfredo Photo + Film.)

When it comes to sponsored posts, I was pretty lucky this year, too. A few of my favorites include being the Guest Creative Director for Ziploc again, natural pet tips with Beyond Natural Pet Food, and s’mores on the beach with Kohl’s.

I hope you all have a lovely New Year’s Eve tonight!
