Year In Review
Happy Last Day of 2015!
Truth be told, this year began on a low note, which seemed to ring throughout the year. I hit some of the lowest points I've hit in my life thus far and am, therefore, not too sad to say farewell to 2015.
That said, I did my best to sport a smile daily, stay positive and stay aware of just how fortunate I am despite a very tough year personally. After all, it is times like this which make you stronger and allow you to better appreciate the good times...they are necessary.
I want to send a heartfelt thank you to my incredible family and friends who got me get through this year, as always. Their love and support alone makes my life quite full and for that I am forever thankful!
Also, thank you to each of you in blogland for your continued support and patience over this past year, it means far more than you may every know, and I am looking forward to the year ahead with each of you right here.
Wishing each of you a safe and very Happy and Healthy New Year 2016 filled with adventure, love and a few pleasant surprises. Here's to a magical 365 days ahead!
Until next year, I'll leave you with a look back on some of the highlights from the past year that come with the hope of a brighter 2016! ★

Happy Monday, Everyone!
I hope each of you had a magical holiday season and were able to celebrate around friends, family and/or loved ones.
I was fortunate to be surrounded by my entire family this year, including my niece and 3 nephews, which made it extra special for me. There truly is nothing like being with those whom you care about most and having little ones running around...it's really all I ever need for Christmas.
Our family tradition is getting dressed up on Christmas Eve and having a big, formal dinner following cocktails and a plethora of hors d'oeuvres. This year, was the first in many where I hadn't chosen to wear a strapless or sleeveless dress, as to not freeze, and it was 75 degrees in VA, naturally! ;)
I paired a fitted black turtleneck, that I’ve had for years and is a favorite of mine, with a full, flirty and bouncy black skirt, which I refer to as my "big girl tutu," a new pair of red faux suede heels and a variety of gold and sparkle affordable accessories.
My entire look cost under $85, and it could easily double as a NYE look by simply adding a bit more sparkle and switching out the heels.
Below, I break it all down for you along with some pictures from our celebration. Enjoy! :)
