Another year, in the books

So long 2010! While you were certainly not a boring year, I have had better. This year was filled with plenty of ups, and a ton of downs- but no experience went without learning a lesson.

At this time every year we look back at what happened at the year that's passed.. things we did, things we didn't do, things we wish we did, etc. Due to the snow over the holiday weekend, I have had a little extra time to sit and drown in thought. I realized:

 

1. There are things in life you have no control over. Unfortunately, you just have to deal with it.

2. Focus on the things you can actually change, and change them.

3. Goals are set to be worked towards, not just written down.

4. If you love what is true, then the world will come to you. (OK, so that's Michael Bublé- but it's still relevant!)

5. Happiness is a choice.

I will be taking a short blogging break until the New Year. Hope everyone has a fabulous New Year filled with love, laughter, and plenty of cocktails. =)

Kate Spade Holiday Shoot via Style Me Pretty

I nearly fell off my chair when I saw this Kate Spade inspired photo shoot. I am smitten. How perfect are the color combinations? And that little dog? C'mon. How stinkin cute?

Happy Holidays!

Katelyn and Matt's photo shoot was hysterical, thanks to not only the two of them for just being themselves in front of the camera, but to the crazy man with crazy stories. Hopefully more to come from the two of them. =)

Happy Holidays!

Fabulous Photo Shoot!

So excited to share the photos from Sunday! The shoot took place in Ridgewood, NJ with photographer Jamie Vitale. Her photos are stunning (as you can see!) and I couldn't be more excited to work with her! Christine and Chris are just wonderful people and were truly great to work with. Having known Christine I knew she was going to come looking effortlessly chic, but those leg warmers? How perfect! Don't worry Chris, you looked effortlessly chic to. =) They are so super sweet and I couldn't be more thankful!

New Years Cards

This has been my favorite New Years card! Pink and sparkling gold confetti? Amazing!
