Happy Blog Birthday to Me

So, it's my one year blog-a-versary... now, how on earth did that happen? Of course, I have no outfit pictures because I've been thoroughly lazy for a lot of this vacation so far and have been lounging in PJs, gym clothes and perhaps a pair of jeans or two. And days where I do really get dressed it's too cold or too dark for nice photo taking. Ah well.

This is also my 80th post. Not a terribly large or celebratory number, but still a nice round one and I figure that means I've averaged 6 2/3 posts a month, and considering I've often aspired to at least one post a week, I say - not bad!

Anyway, for lack of something else to post, how about a little outfit recap of the past year?


{December 2008, January 2009}


{February, March}


{April, May}


{June}


{July}


{August, September}


{October}


{November}

And December 2009... coming soon! ;)

Also... how about some of my favorite purchases from the past year?
(In no particular order)


{Hunter Boots, Steve Madden Flats, Floral Docs}


{Blue skirt, little grey bag, brown boots}


{trench coat, straw boater, feather headband, 50s dress, dooney & burke bag}


{floral romper, bandanna print dress}

And of course a bunch more. It was a big year of shopping for me but I've been on a break (well, to the best of my ability--I did a little shopping in October over fall break but not too much!) since August. I think I may spend some time clearing old stuff from my closet today... to make room for the purchases of the coming year ;) While I'm still trying to save money, the holidays have brought in a couple of cash-gifts and we all know I'm going to be doing some shopping in London, it simply cannot be avoided. haha.

Anyway, in closing- here's some of the delicious food my friends and I have made this year ;)


{chocolate covered strawberries (and cherries), southwestern turkey burgers and sweet potato fries}


{vanilla-strawberry-zucchini cake with vanilla pudding frosting, caramelized onion and artichoke heart pizza}


{4th of July brunch, acorn squash stuffed with quinoa with sautéed apples and almonds}


{slow cooked provençale chicken, snickerdoodles}

Here's to another fabulous year of fashion, food, theatre and travel!

Regards,
Freddie
