I can’t believe another year has passed! Here are a few of my favorite snapshots from the last month of 2013:

• Decked the halls
• Embraced the snowy weather in a pair of bright wellies from Joules (see the post here)
• Baked dozens of holiday cookies
• Drove to my parents’ house in a winter wonderland
• Prepared for holiday celebrations with confetti poppers
• Tucked mini bottles of champagne inside holiday packages
• Unpacked countless boxes of glittery Christmas ornaments
• Wrote holiday greetings with the prettiest fountain pen from Parker
• Danced through the holiday season in tartan flats

2013 is rapidly coming to a close! Here’s what I was up to last month:

• Wore a “Bonjour” necklace from oNecklace
• Treated myself to a pair of tartan loafers
• Spotted this Airstream on the way back from the Twin Cities
• Entered my lucky number into a Lulu Frost contest (but it wasn’t lucky enough to win)
• Browsed a gallery in a nearby small town
• Couldn’t believe that I won these Anton Heunis earrings from my-wardrobe.com
• Found myself on a dangerous path after buying a cat-print dress and a cat-print iPhone case
• Paired my new “Bonjour” necklace with my childhood nameplate version
• Danced the night away in a lipstick-print dress at a friend’s wedding
• Ruined Bacon’s Halloween by dressing him up
• Hung out with a cow
• Couldn’t resist a pair of ultra trendy d’orsay flats

Obsessed over pink and green

Cheered for the Badgers // Harassed the cat (and reviewed a set of pajamas)

Found the perfect black skirt // Coveted this pair of vintage earrings

Wore navy nail polish every single day

Caught up on my favorite magazines // Stacked itty bitty rings

Challenged Dave to a game of cribbage // Mixed polka dots with leopard print

Was reunited with my beloved glitter loafers

We’re back from D.C.! I’m looking forward to a much-needed day to relax and let my sore feet recover from all of that walking! In the meantime, here’s a peek at what we did along with some of my other favorite memories from August. 

Purchased flowers at the farmers’ market // Spotted a mermaid door knocker in Old Town Alexandria

Shopped in Georgetown // Sampled beer at Great Taste of the Midwest

Goofed around in our room at the Loews Madison Hotel while Dave got ready for the day

Saw a patriotic horse in Alexandria // Sipped a midday craft cocktail

Wore these versatile Kendra Scott earrings with everything // Went to the ball game in D.C.

Took one last photo of Alexandria before our return flight
