I cannot believe that we are nearing the end of 2017 – what an incredibly wild ride it has been. I started the year still carrying a very heavy heart from the loss of our english bulldog William. Little did I know at the time that 2017 would end up being one of my best yet. All of this time I thought I had the whole blogging industry game figured out, but come to find out I still had so much to learn, experience and grow from. As I’ve slowly built an amazingly talented team to help support this dream of mine called Damsel in Dior, we’ve worked together to have my most successful year to date on so many various levels. Getting to experience my first trip to Dubai, attend my first ever Chanel show at Paris Fashion Week and explore the lands of Positano, St. Lucia, Maui and so much more are only a few things on the long list of the amazing experiences I was blessed with this year.

At the end of the day, as I sit at my laptop writing this, I have never felt more thankful for those of you who follow along on my adventures. My job would not be possible if it were not for you and I am so incredibly blessed to have a career doing something that allows me to wake up every day and create.

Here are a few favorite highlights from my year.

Cheers to an incredible 2017 and an even more amazing 2018.
