2016: Another Year In Review

January 5, 2017

WHAT. A. YEAR.

As always, I am back with my now annual tradition of reflecting on the year past and documenting it here (most for myself!). If you are interested, you can check out my 2015 post here. For this yearly review, I choose a slightly different format to highlight my top moments of the year; providing links to pictures, posts, and status updates along with my short snippets. I also choose a few Instagram photos that tracked the year nicely.

This year, I boarded 26+ flights, and countless trains, buses, and taxis. I received multiple stamps in my passport and became a resident of a whole new country! I attended so many fashion weeks - Berlin, Milan, London, Florence, Paris! - and have lived in three (four?) different homes. To say that this year was the most intense, amazing and unexpected would be understatement; I traveled more than I ever have before, I met the most amazing and talented people, and I stepped far out of my comfort zone. Most importantly, it was reaffirmed to me just how important a powerful and constant partner is (thanks bebe!). As we all begin to look forward to 2017, I am so proud and stunned at everything that transpired in 2016.
