What a year 2016 was! It had so many highlights and was a year I learned more about myself than quite possibly any other year. It brought tremendous growth, tremendous change and tremendous hope for the road ahead. Today I wanted to share a walk down memory lane with some of my favorite posts from the year and overall highlights.

What to do during the holidays in NYC

This year…I started my own company and began full-time self-employment, worked with some amazing brands like Stuart Weitzman, J.McLaughlin, Clinique, Zappos & Burt’s Bees, traveled to Palm Springs, Boston, Ireland, Paris, Nantucket, Chicago, Bordeaux, Montreal and more, added new evergreen content like the most Instagram worthy places in NYC, podcasts to inspire, packing and travel tips, favorite little luxuries, tips for part-time bloggers and the best workouts in NYC, did my first Q&A, took your feedback to heart and continued to evolve wit & whimsy (thank you!!), shared more inspiring stories through this series, wrote more personal posts like how I’m changing my habits, productivity hacks I use and how I’m pursuing wellness, shot outfits all over New York thanks to my new schedule and turned 31 full of hope for the challenges and changes that lay ahead.

A huge thanks to you guys for coming along on this year’s ride! You all are the reason I strive to continue to make this blog a place you want to visit time and time again and I’m so grateful for your readership. Stay tuned for a special announcement on Thursday of this week!!
