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...

Wow. I have no words! I'm new here and I'm happy that I've found you... I love all your pics and outfits... tomorrow I have to go to work so early (as usual) but when I'll have a little time your blog will be the first I'll come to read better and better again:)

I really love your vision, what inspires you and what you have to say. How amazing it is to be able to look back at your life like that! Congradulations! What an honor!
Lovely photos, great post! Thanks for being such a wonderful blogger, always so much to look at!
It'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.
How 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!♥
A great recap of your year, it looks and sounds amazing. Always such interesting and lovely photography. Also the video is grand!♥xo
Congratulations on another year of blogging and hopefully many more to come. Sea of Shoes used to be my favorite blog but I think yours is becoming my favorite. I don't even remember how I stumbled upon your blog but I'm really glad did. Your creativity is very inspiring, it makes me want to try a new technique with my photos!
Can't wait for more posts to come!
omg i saw you moving :D
happy blog anniversary

Happy Anniversary! Love the video and the inspiring year-in-review. I've always enjoyed reading your blog and I'm looking forward to next year's adventures!
How precious! Love the video and happy 2 years! I'm so happy that you've shared your adventures with us :)
Happy blogversary! Here's to many more. :-)
Is it silly to say, I'm so happy to share a blog-aversary month with so many great bloggers, yourself included? There must have been something in the air on July '09...
congratulations at reaching 2 years! i'm fairly new to your blog but it looks as though all success is very much deserved!
Congratulaaations!! Happy blogging birthday dear :) Ooh and the month by month montages are so fantastic, and that video is adorable. I really do hope you had a beautiful weekend.
Happy Blogsarry...love the video...keep it up!!!u inspired me!!
Thank YOU! Your blog is an inspiration to many people not just my self and I appreciate your constant updating. I imagine you sacrifice a lot of time to the blogsphere. The video was lovely and you did a great job editing it. May I ask what you used to make your little month by month collage?
Congratulations on 2 years!
I love your blog :)
although 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
these little photo collages are lovely and I cannot wait to see your next adventures. but you're a girl who can make an adventure anywhere, which is probably how you inspire me the most!
THANKS!
Congrats on two years! I loved the little photo collages, and that video was precious. Thanks for sharing with us!
Congrats! This video was super sweet and cool. I love the photo collages and keep them coming!
cute video! I liked the collages too.
I was reading some of your old posts and you mentioned starting an etsy shop. I too am considering one for my photos. Did you ever start one?
Wow, two years! Congrats!!!! Love the pictures, and the video.
The video is so cute and such a great representation of your blog. The pictures are as beautiful and fun as always. I've been reading your blog for a while now and most consistently in the last few months as it's definitely becoming one of my favorites.
...and! A delightful friend and I just started our own blog. I hope you don't mind a little plug for it: asparkleintime.blogspot.com
Here's to another year!
Sweet post! I hope you do blog for many years to come, yours is my favorite to read. (: ♥

happy blogiversary - yours is a daily read of mine - i love it!
This 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.
PS: I love the video.
you for sure have helped shaped the fashion aspect of the blogesphere, that is amazing to one of the pioneers.
You are too cute to be true! Thank you!
What 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!
Congrats on the 2 years! I've only started following you earlier this year and recently gained enough courage to comment.
I 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. :)
Happy 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!
Happy blogversary!
thank you for the thank you. you are truly awesome, outfits and all.

you had a full 2 years..and i can't wait to see what you will do next!!!
Congratulations! 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.
I'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!
I 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.
It 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!
I always find your photos so inspiring :)
thank God for your blog!
such 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!
p.s. the video was super cute!! XDD
You are too unbelievably cute! I always mean to ask, do you take your own photos? Absolutely great photography. Always a great read.
I love your blog! And the video was just beautiful. So perfect and summery. In fact, all your photography is gorgeous.
Now I'm a fan of your blog, and I have just discovered I liked a lot, nice blog!
Google translator...will speak little English
Im mexican, Saludos.
lovely video! and you have amazing style, love your blog!! :)
Happy 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).
thank you for the past two years. i've really enjoyed your blog and it's one of my favourites!
for 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.
I 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.
Happy birthday !
