It’s hard to believe a whole year has passed since I was last rounding up 2009, but alas here we are on another December where I find myself feeling so blessed and peaceful.

A year ago WIT & Whimsy was full of talk about sparkles, trends and staying warm without sacraifcing style. Here’s a look at some of what was blogged about back in December of ’09:

I found a new favorite fragrance that I’m still sporting every day

We gave tips on how to care for your tights– a wardrobe staple at this time of year

Vogue Fashion Fun winner Thakoon made a real statement with his “Mosaic” shoes

I profiled fav designer label, Elizabeth + James

We gave the skinny on the Winter trends you should be wearing (if you weren’t already)

I was quoted in a BusinessWeek story on private sample sales

10 Reasons why I love Rebecca Minkoff were shared

Rave reviews were given for this super steep clean mask

I got to interview Chelsea Handler’s BFF Heather McDonald!

Andrea shared a good read that’d be perfect as a quick page turner for over the holidays, Nanny Returns

We rounded up the best heels for the holidays. I’m still in love with the Badgley Mischka ones which I almost bought at Loehmann’s the other day, in fact.

I gave a quick tutorial on an easy up-do of a simple, yet chic chignon, inspired by Amy Adams

We talked faux fur earmuffs– why they are chic, affordable and a must have for each Winter
