Happy 2015!

a lot can happen in a year

And it did.  2014 was a big year for me.
 
In January my passport arrived.  February brought the most spontaneous trip I've ever been on when I hopped a flight to Hilton Head with Krista to escape the polar vortex that was our weather.  In March the [big] trip planning began.  What started as just a week in Italy evolved to include Paris and I was officially on the hunt for flights.  I decided 2014 was the year I was going to run the New York City Marathon and found out I was officially training/running with Team for Kids.  In April, I hit a home run at work when we got a marketing campaign approved for one of my clients.  What would follow would be a series of short, killer events and a new "baby" for me to foster in the form of a new website and the most fun social media account of all our clients (disclaimer: I don't usually talk real life job stuff here but the whole campaign was definitely a major highlight for me).  I also met David Bromstad at his Naturalizer launch event and would later host a live Google hangout interview with him about his second collection with Naturalizer.  In May, one of my bestest girlfriends came to visit and I was so happy to be able to show her my life in NYC.  June kicked off yet another "summer of yes."  And the summer of spontaneous concerts (ex: purchasing Gov Ball tickets the night before it started - Outkast killed it and I relived some amazing musical memories).  I went on my usual bi-yearly trip home for the Rodeo followed by the most amazing Fourth of July weekend at Lake Schroon.  Zac Brown Band concert tickets were purchased the day before their show at PNC Bank Arts Center and I officially started marathon training.  July also brought November Project into my life (thanks to my BRF - best running friend) and I would never look at group fitness the same again.
 
August brought an amazing weekend in Saratoga including yet another spontaneous concert ticket purchase (Jason Aldean), a day at the races with America's Best Racing and an extra night out on Caroline Street.  September brought a very busy Fashion Week (including backstage at Prabal Gurung!), a trip to Chicago, DC AND Philly (it was very travel heavy!).  In October I caught the Jeff Koons exhibit at the Whitney right before it closed and really battled through my running injuries in preparation for the NYC Marathon.  In November I completed the Marathon, went to my first Ranger's game, my best friend got engaged and I packed my bags for my 9 day trip to Europe.  I closed the year with a couple of great holiday parties, a night at the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, a weekend reunited with my besties in SF and a solid week of relaxing at home and spending time with my family for the holiday.  
 
2014 was a crazy amazing year and I can't wait to see what adventures await for me in 2015!  Cheers to a new year!

DC In An Insta

Did you notice the blog's facelift?!  Thanks to Mrs. Sommer Elston I have a pretty new logo and new social media buttons to match!  I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself.  I know Sommer from back home who recently started doing graphic design, and when she approached me about doing a logo I was so excited (I had been thinking about it for a while so it was perfect timing!).  For now you can find her on Instagram and pretty soon, on her own website.  Check her out and let her know if you need any design work done!

Back tracking a little here...  I went to DC for the first time about 3 weeks ago and had such an amazing weekend!  It's definitely added to my list of favorite cities.  We did a bunch of touristy things like the monuments and museums and also went to some fun local spots.  See what I wore on my trip down and some snaps of my adventures from Instagram:

Apartment Style: City Living

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a fab weekend. I took a little trip to Washington DC and had such a good time. It was definitely the perfect recharge and so great to see old friends.

I'm hosting a Posh Party with Jackie Giardina tomorrow night so be sure to tune in! The theme is "Pretty, Flirty and Girly" - super fun!

While I'm sure you know, this blog is mostly based on fashion, I thought of something fun to share with you all today. Ever wondered what it's like to live in 70 sq. ft.? Well you're about to find out and you'll quickly see why I joke that I "live in a closet without a closet."
Take a peek into my little corner of my [maybe] 700 sq. ft. NYC apartment...

It's all in the details...

"A Day In My Life" Guest Post!

Hi there! My name is Sara and I currently blog for A Day in my Life
A little background on me: Tracy and I went to college together in Reno and recently reconnected through the blogging world. After college, I moved to Washington, DC and started my new life here in the city. I started off working on Capitol Hill and recently took a position working in social media for a non-profit. Prior to this position, I worked as an editor in downtown DC. As an editor, we didn't do much writing so I thought starting a blog may be a fun way to incorporate writing into my life.

A few weeks ago, I was asked to write for DC Life Magazine covering fashion in the area. I just had my first article published and am working on a few more. I also am a stylist for Stella and Dot so you may notice a lot of the jewelry in my photos. If you are interested in purchasing, becoming a stylist or would like to host a trunk show (like Tracy did!) please feel free to reach out to me.
Hope you enjoy!
