January
In January I made a New Year's resolution to start blogging more seriously. I started taking more pictures and experimenting with different styles than I used to. I was still a newbie to the fashion world. This is still one of my favorite sweaters :)
February
I went through sorority rush in February. It was a crazy two weeks of meeting a whole bunch of great girls and continually being exhausted from hours of talking a primping. This outfit I actually spilled tomato soup on about an hour and a half before I had to go to another rush event. I had just enough time to wash it before I had to leave it was so crazy! But it was so worth it haha.
Annddd on bid day I became a Phi Mu!
March
In March we finally had big/little reveal and the entire week before I was spoiled by my big, but had no idea who she was! At the end of the week I finally met my big and wonderful family!!
I also came home for spring break and tried to keep up with blogging, but by now I only posted about 8 times a month. I also was on Gossip Girl Season 1 :)
April
In April it was finally warm again! The flowers were blooming and I enjoyed Starbucks before my English class. I actually remember this morning because it was so nice to wake up, go get breakfast, and read a magazine. A really nice morning :)
It was actually warm enough to tan one day!
May
In May I finished up my second semester of my freshman year at Miami and came home for summer break. I also started going to Tri-C so I could take chemistry over the summer and stay on track with my major. This was an outfit I wore on my first day of class. And loved this lighting!!
I also did my first photo shoot ever for Gladys Magazine. It was one of the best experiences of my life! I had so much fun that day. Here is a behind the scenes photo of Erica (my makeup artist for the day) and I.
June
June was a really great month! I was working at my development pool as a life guard and getting my tan on in the amazing weather. I made so many smoothies because all the fruit was fresh :)
At the end of the month my mom, sister, my mom's best friend Sherri and I went to Port Clinton on Lake Erie for the weekend. It is my favorite trip every year. We just spend the weekend eating the best breakfast and ice-cream and laughing. It's just my favorite :)
July
In July my blogging probably reached it's peak. I loved every outfit I put up. I felt so stylish. And Just look at my tan! How crazy dark am I?! Ugh I miss summer :(
One of my favorite bloggers, Kenza Zouiten, like my Instagram picture!! Oh my gosh I was so excited!
August
In August I was able to see the results of my photo shoot for Gladys Magazine in print! This was when it hit me, like whoa I'm in a magazine. Like how crazy is that?! One of the best feelings ever!
September
The weather was still so hot and beautiful in September. I went home for Labor Day weekend because my mom missed me haha. And I of course missed her. It was great to be home for the long weekend. And the grass was so green!
My dad also came up for my Phi Mu Dad's Weekend. We had a social with all the dads and daughters one night. My dad and I went to the Red's vs. Cardinals baseball game and I caught my first baseball!
October
The weather was still crazy nice in October and I went on an adventure run and found these super pretty trails down by the football field.
I also visited my dad in St. Louis for fall break. It was a really fun weekend! My dad showed me all around St. Louis because I had never been there. It's a really cool city! I could totally live there one day.
I also went out for Halloween with some of my sorority sisters as the Seven Dwarfs. We were such a bunch of goofballs and it was a great night haha.
November
The Navy's Birthday Ball was in November. I went with my boyfriend, Ryan. I got to wear a beautiful dress, and he looked so handsome in his dress blues. Here we are fooling around having him salute me haha.
This month was the month of dances because I also went to semi-formal for my sorority. This dress was absolutely amazing! It fit perfectly, and I loved the high neck line. Definitely a keeper! Thank you mom for sending me it haha.
December
December was a rough month for the blog because I went back to school after Thanksgiving break and had two weeks until final exams. I was stressed to the max with all the studying I had to do. It was finally cold out and I didn't want to venture outside to take pictures haha. So sorry for the repetitive background of my dorm room. But one of the last few days I saw one of the prettiest sunsets making all the stress a little better.
I finished the year off at home. I spent time with my family and got my boyfriend to take pictures of me haha. He really doesn't mind, but I always feel bad asking him to. He found this super pretty spot by a pond. These shots were my favorite.
Here was my year! I hope this post isn't too long and boring for you. I really tried to streamline my year for you guys and pick the best pictures/events. Looking back on my year, it was a really good year. Even though there were some points that were really bad at the time, I had so many more good days than bad. Sometimes perspective is what you need. Happy New Year everyone!
Hugs <3
