This past Thursday, December 18th, was my twenty-third birthday. It’s always so bittersweet becoming a year older.. you think back on the past year and feel happy,but also sad that a year has passed. It’s such an odd feeling,but perhaps it’s just me who feels this way! But you guys, my amazing readers, wished me the sweetest happy birthdays! I got so many Facebook and Instagram birthday wishes that it made me remember how truly grateful I am to have you out there who just happen to be a fan of my personal style and taste. I remember being in high school and reading all of my favorite fashion blogs. These girls felt like my dear friends.. but I only knew their lives because of the internet. When their birthdays would roll around, I would feel so excited and happy for them on their special day. It dawned on me that I have readers who are in the same place that I was in before (and still am with my favorite bloggers!) and it made me feel really special. Thank you guys so much for keeping up with my posts and for being so kind. You are a huge part of what made my birthday special and make me so happy for starting my blog! I cannot thank you enough.

Now on a style note: this outfit was styled around this amazing blouse by of course Family Affairs! It’s also like the dress I posted, apart of their special holiday treats! So today they will announce a special sale on this blouse and be sure to follow their Instagram here to see. The perfect crystal blue is what I love most about this blouse. It’s so vintage! I paired it with a plaid skirt (you know how I love mixing patterns), black tights, and my Samantha Pleet boots. Finished it off with one last pattern from this Miss Patina coat! A perfect birthday outfit.

More posts from Rachel and I’s birthday party (yes, her birthday is the day after mine!) coming very shortly!

Love,

Noelle

Honestly this post just goes out to Danny. In my m Honestly this post just goes out to Danny. In my mind I had some sort of expectation of how he would be at birth or with our daughter and wow he is just beyond anything I ever could of imagined. He kept telling me how proud he was of me while I was pushing, giving me so many words of encouragement that just fueled me through. He listens to the baby blues I often get as the sun sets and does the 5 minute journal with me to help reflect on all the days positive moments. He reminds me it’s normal and okay to cry during this time. He thanks me for growing our perfect little girl. He just makes me feel seen at this time where my emotions are all over the place. While this time becoming a mom has been MAGICAL it’s also a lot of emotions of what my new future looks like, realizing what will never be the same about my old life. He listens to it all with no judgement ❤️ I even texted his mom to say thank you for creating and raising such a wonderful son ❤️ basically all this to say- I love Danny even more and I didn’t think that was physically possible 🥹 my heart has truly grown 10 more sizes the past few days
