I sort of can't deal with this year. Not that anything particularly bad happened in it, but rather that it has flown by so fast that I'm having a hard time conceiving the fact that it's over. Even on a day-to-day basis I'm constantly shocked that it's already the afternoon! By Wednesday I'm scandalized that Thursday is tomorrow!
That said, it's been quite a nice year, and I really must thank all of you for reading and commenting, e-mailing, and all of that! I'm so grateful for everyone, and for this little community that exists. This year especially I've met so many lovely people and new friends! So to wrap things up, here are some highlights from my year!
January
I got bangs! After pining after them for years, I ended up with bangs and chopped off my hair.
February
On day in February it was unseasonably warm.
March
I tried to have auburn hair for a little while. I'm starting to get the itch for it again, but we'll see if I ever have the nerve. Shortly after this post, I accidentally put that sweater in the dryer and it was lost to the shrinks.
April
I recreated my favorite movie's poster, and have really been dressing with this sort of thing in mind ever since, especially now that we're heading into the cooler months again! I also cut my hair the shortest it's been in ages, and haven't touched it since!
May
I saw Jane Eyre and started obsessing about that too. John and I started taking more day-trips and visiting historical sites from my childhood.
June
Like Clermont. I had meant to get back there in the fall, but somehow it seemed I kept missing the height of the leaf changing season because of colds and things, so I suppose we'll have to go again in the spring! It was one of my favorite places all year, and I ended up with a dress that I never expected would be one of my favorites!
July
The final Harry Potter movie came out and I had a little party to go with it, and perfected my costume. I've been heartbroken ever since, really, but that's alright! It was so much fun!
August
I turned twenty-five! And went to the beach, and marveled that summer was almost over.
September
This month was slow, as I was floored by two sinus infections! The highlight was probably when I met up with a bunch of my absolute favorite blogger ladies in NYC, where I forgot to take pictures!
October
I attempted to levitate in a park, while wearing tweed.
November
I dressed like a book for the second time!
December
And this month, I embraced color again!
Happy New Year everyone! Love to you all!

I was trying to pick my favourite outfit... but then it got too hard. Too many pretty things.
Have a great new year.

Great recap of the year! I'm the same way when it comes to wondering what happened to the time. New Year's often throws me into an existential crisis, haha!
