2015 in review // favorites across the seasons

Hello hello ~ as another year comes to an end, I wanted to thank each of you for your readership and support for my corner of the blogosphere. This site started as a creative outlet for me and continues to be something I'm very passionate about, whether it's to share fashion finds, good eats, or pieces of our lives like our marriage this year. I know several of you are longtime readers whom I may never meet, but greatly appreciate from the bottom of my heart. Happy last week of 2015, and I can't wait to see what 2016 brings!

Here's a few of my favorite looks, tutorials, and posts from this past year:

taupe + greens, belted poncho

blue florals, lilac lace

swingy stripes, bow + baroque

And last but not least, a few posts from the best time of our lives thus far, having finally tied the knot in the city where we met over a decade ago! Our hearts are still full from being joined by all of our family and friends from around the world.
