Well, today marks 2 years of writing this little spunky/neurotic blog. This past year was all about change….the first part of the year I dyed the bottom half of my hair pink because well, I always wanted to…..then in the spring I took a 3 month hiatus because something as lighthearted as blogging can take you to deep, dark places…..during that hiatus I chopped 12 inches of hair off…….in the summer I started back up and THEN a couple of months later changed the name. Looking back now everything that happened to the blog last year was necessary and I'm happy with the results.

If you would have told me 2 years ago that I would be standing here wearing denim on denim……on denim, with leopard AND leather over the knee boots I would have thought you were crazy…and now I have to say this is one of my favorite outfits of all time. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has kept up with me and came back after my hiatus….it has meant so much to hear your thoughts about the blog and it keeps me going in the midst of this insane ride called motherhood. I started this blog after becoming a mom because I had no clue what my style was and over the past 2 years I have definitely learned what I love and what I loathe…….Thank you to Molly for helping me take pics when you were about to give birth to your own beautiful baby girl (and after sweet baby Lilly came!), thank you to Sheree for inspiring me every day and keeping me going, thank you Ellen for everything (I can't wait to help you start your own blog!) and THANK YOU soooo much to my friends and family who continue to visit and support the blog…….entering my 3rd of blogging I KNOW its going to be a great year because of you guys :)

New Things: (see original post here)

Day 3: Tried 2 new dishes at my favorite sushi place (Crudo and Creme Brûlée Cheesecake)

Day 4: Made a new recipe of Vanilla Peanut Butter Triffle (low carb/low sugar/ and low fat mind you)

Day 5: tried a new combo of camo with lace (lurve) and tried the Charcuterie Plate at my favorite French restaurant……holy heaven

Crisp New Day

Let me start by saying my husband and I haven't stayed up to watch the ball drop in 3 years (correction: on Doodle's first NYE we woke up at midnight because our dog had thrown up in the bed, good stuff)….so it doesn't make a ton of sense for me to put on a huge tutu and sequins for just a normal night. However, I always love the idea of starting a new year, I always have this notion of a crisp new day where anything is possible….which is what I'm trying to tell myself EVERY day should be. I figured I would at least put a good outfit on this year for New Years Eve so I took some cues from my favorite blogger and style maven Sheree and paired some leopard with an all white ensemble….whenever I'm feeling uninspired I always turn to her for a new take on things. Anywhos, hope you guys are eating your black eyed peas for good luck and enjoying a fabulous new year.
