 Happy New Year!

I've been a little MIA the past few days! I spent the end of the year in California and a few days at one of my all time favorite places, Disneyland! I came back on Sunday just in time to jump into the work week, and have been just trying to get back into the swing of things in the new year. You may have also noticed I've been a little quiet on Instagram too...lucky me, broke my phone just before vacation and have been using a SLOW iPhone 4. Better than nothing, I know. But it is absolutely worthless when it comes to taking pictures! My upgrade is just a few weeks away, so I can hold on until then, but it isn't it crazy how reliant we are on technology??

Anyways, these photos were taken just before Christmas, hence the Christmas colors! This coat is such a cozy winter staple, and I have been wearing it so much, especially with all of the snow we have been getting!

2015 Round Up!

2015 has been quite the year! Focusing on all the amazing things that have happened, just to name a few...

-I traveled to Hawaii, Mexico, Canada and am ending the year in California

- I survived my first year of teaching and am half way through my second!

- My blog and instagram have been steadily growing! I just hit 25k on instagram! Whoo!

- I got a puppy!

- I got married!!!!!

I can't believe it was just a year ago that I was blogging my 2014 highlights and had just gotten engaged! 

Here is a look back at some of my favorites from this year...

**This is obviously not an official wedding photo...just a sweet snap a guest captured.

Fringe Cape

 Top: Nordstrom // Pants: DSTLD // Cape: Nordstrom // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // Shoes: Louise et Cie, similar here // Necklace: Taudrey 'Twenties Girl Style' necklace // Sunnies: Ray-ban 'Erika' // 

This cape has probably been one of my favorite purchases this winter. I love that it goes with anything and everything and is perfect for a cold winter day! I love how easy an all black ensemble is, but throwing this cape over the top and adding a pop of red really puts the finishing touches on this outfit!

Printed Scarf

 Dress: c/o Shein, similar here // Scarf: Nordstrom // Sweater: Nordstrom // Boots: Tory Burch 'Junction' // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // 

 My favorite way to dress comfy, cozy for a chilly winter day? A scarf, of course!! Pairing basics like this turtleneck dress and cardigan with a printed scarf helps to bring more personality to the outfit. I love that adding a scarf can completely change the outfit with just one simple accessory! Shop some of my favorite printed scarfs below!
