If I had to choose one word to describe my 2015, it would be CHANGE. So much has happened in the past twelve months! I thought it would be fun to take a walk down memory lane and share some milestone moments from this past year…
{A New Year’s Day polar bear plunge in Connecticut}
{A buying trip to Atlanta with a pit stop at Ann Mashburn}
{Will and I took a helicopter tour of NYC}
{I hosted the second Design Darling blogger brunch at fashion week in February}
{In March, I visited my brother Grayson who was studying abroad in London}
{Grayson and I took a weekend trip from London to Cassis, France}
{In late March, I announced that Will and I were leaving New York and moving to Dallas}
{I created a Design Darling New York City guide during my final week in the city}
{In April, Will and I took advantage of his time off work and headed to Paris}
{…followed by the most glorious three days on the Amalfi Coast}
{When we got back, we filled up a truck and drove across the country with our pup Rory}
{And at the end of April, we moved into our new house!}
{In May, I moved into the new Design Darling headquarters}
{In June, I wrote about making friends in a new city}
{…and learned a lot about moving in with my significant other}
{My Fourth of July shoot was featured on Town & Country}
{I drank these prickly pear margaritas all summer long}
{In July, Will and I went back to New York and got thisclose to Taylor Swift!}
{I loved this pretty picnic shoot}
{I got to see lots of family and friends on Nantucket}
{In August, I turned 26 and celebrated with new friends in Dallas}
{Sailing Nantucket was one of my happiest moments of the year}
{In October, we relaunched the boutique website and hosted our first Dallas shopping night}
{Our living room finally started coming together}
{We did lots of apple picking and leaf peeping near my parents’ new home in Connecticut}
{In November, I wrapped up the One Room Challenge in our guest bedroom}
{An unexpected trip to Naples for Grandy’s surgery, which thankfully went perfectly}
{Our friend Paul launched his boot company}
{In December, Will and I hosted our first Christmas party}
{We headed up to Maine to celebrate Christmas with both of our families…}
{…and on Christmas Eve, Will got down on one knee and I said YES!}
Lots more on that to come… 🙂 Happy 2016, everyone!
