Two years ago I started this blog without any expectations or an inkling of what it would snowball into and I'm still mildly in awe of what it has become. I want to thank all my readers for their comments or even silent presence, you all have kept me motivated and made this whole journey so enjoyable.
Here's a painfully brief recap of the past year:
I spent the summer in Pennsylvania living in my college's dorms and working on campus for the Admissions office as an assistant. When Fall came around I hopped on a plane to travel to Greece with strangers to study for a semester. I spent time traveling around Greece and used a couple of long weekends to explore Budapest and Germany. In December our group was forced to leave prematurely due to the riots taking place in Athens and I flew home for an early Christmas break with my family in Washington State. I returned in the Spring to Pennsylvania for my final semester, enduring snow in the first months back and enjoying the sunshine in the last few. After graduation I flew back to Washington State where I currently am temporarily settled.
If hopes become reality this year will bring as many adventures as the last...
I shot the video with my tripod (like I shoot my pictures) as a little thank you to all my blog readers. The song is by Dar Williams. I hope you all enjoy it.
Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.

ReplyDeleteIt's strange but you popped into my mind this morning - I was thinking about graduating college and life right after that. It was an odd time for me anyway.
ReplyDeleteHow great that you have been doing this blog for 2 years! Your blog was one of the reasons /major inspirations for me to start my own blog about a year ago. Congratulations and best of luck in the next 12 months! I know you will do well ;)
Happy Anniversary dear CH!♥

ReplyDeletealthough at the end of your adorable video (of yes, I wish there are many more to come :) you say thank you for a wonderful yea, I thank YOU for a wonderful year! your blog always inspires me in so many ways- sartorially, intellectually (with your reading tastes), culturally (with your film tastes), and artistically (with your amazing self portraits and posts on others photos). I really look forward to your every post even if I don't always get the chance to comment on it unfortunately

ReplyDeletehappy blogiversary - yours is a daily read of mine - i love it!
ReplyDeleteThis post is amazing. Happy 2 year anniversary to your blog. Your blog has been very inspiring to me, as well as, I'm sure, to many other readers. You've managed to keep it interesting, and I'm positive it will only get better over the next few years. Congratulations on such a beautiful and inspiring blog.
ReplyDeletePS: I love the video.
you for sure have helped shaped the fashion aspect of the blogesphere, that is amazing to one of the pioneers.
ReplyDeleteYou are too cute to be true! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post!! I love the collage you have done of your blog history!! Many happy returns and thank you for sharing your loveliness with us!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 2 years! I've only started following you earlier this year and recently gained enough courage to comment.
ReplyDeleteI think your posts are always honest and inspiring. And you are so down to earth even with all the blog-success you've had and I just find that really refreshing and admirable:)
Wew, seems like I'm a bit late. I want to say congratulations for you and your amazing blog but the other 130 visitors will absolutely say the same, so istead of that, I'll just let you know that I'm simply happy for you. Why is that? Because this is your day, your blog anniversary, your own journey of life, something that has shaped your recent self now and I know you must feel glad, thankful and probably a bit anxious. I'll keep supporting you and i believe so many others will too. Have a great little celebration! And thank you for letting me be a little part of your blog (I really need to say this). I imagine you're smiling right now - smile for your 2 years journey and exploration that will keep continuing - and I believe you smile naturally, not for pleasing other people, but for being grateful for this very happy moment. Happy for you, your blog, and probably the smile to mean something. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog Birthday! You're blog is, as always, an inspiration and a joy, I am so glad to have read you and to read what is to come!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I've been following your blog for maybe a year but have never commented - I think your blog is great! It is really inspiring to see the way you remix outfits and rewear items in new ways. So... Thanks :) And I hope you keep blogging.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those silent followers. I've been reading your blog for a year now; it's a sweet treat in the middle of my cubicle prison days. Happy Birthday to your blog! May it live long and prosper!
ReplyDeleteI was quite surprised when I realised this March that I had been reading your blog for over a year. I found your blog, and from it the entire world of fashion and lifestyle blogging, quite by accident during a google searching session on high-waisted skirts, and ever since I have been enthralled and delighted by your writing and images.
ReplyDeleteIt has been such a joy to read your posts almost every day since. You are a true inspiration, not just because of your lovely, unique style, but because of your writing talent, imagination, intelligence and the serene inner confidence in yourself and your identity which seems to seep through your blog.
I hope the next two years are as lovely and adventure-filled for you as the past two have seem to have been.
Congrats on two years!
ReplyDeleteI always find your photos so inspiring :)
thank God for your blog!
ReplyDeletesuch a blessing.
continue being pretty, stay happy, and more more happy years for you.
This is such a beautiful recap! It looks like a wonderfully eventful year for you from the photos and I hope there'd be many more to come this next year!

ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary (don't you think that's a cute word?). I really love your blog. I don't always comment, but I read it often. You surely lead an adventurous life. Well, I hope there will be many adventurous years to come! (and ofcourse that you share that with your readers, in my case a person who has a lack of adventure in her life).
ReplyDeletethank you for the past two years. i've really enjoyed your blog and it's one of my favourites!
ReplyDeletefor a lot of more years to come..
And what an utterly stylish two years it's been. You're a constant inspiration around the blogosphere. I can't wait to see what other gorgeous things you have to share.
ReplyDeleteI discovered your blog in Dec 2008 randomly through a google search, and I've been a daily reader ever since. I've also discovered other great blogs through it, though yours remains my favourite. I love your photos, and also the fact that your look is unique and interesting, but also easy to achieve.
