So here it is, my best of 2015:

In no particular order…

I became an aunt… best day ever! It happened in July and it was seriously the most exciting day ever.  I honestly didn’t know I could love someone so much- crazy! Ps. How cute are my parents?!

Travelled! Brandon and I LOVE travelling!!!  This year I (we) traveled to Hawaii, Vancouver, Mexico (with a huge group including my entire family!), Edmonton, Banff, Lake Louise and Calgary! Travelling is one of those things I will never get sick of.  There is something so exhilarating about experiencing new cultures, food, and meeting new people.  Also, my sister is the best travel agent a girl could ask for so it is always stress free and planned perfectly, thanks babe!

I was a bridesmaid!  Caitlin made being a bridesmaid an absolute dream, she was so organized and efficient! Such an amazing day for a beautiful couple, thanks Caitlin and Adam for asking me to be a part of your special day!

Watched my sister crush her goal of running the Lululemon Seawheeze half marathon! From the day Heather signed up for the race she was committed and determined.  She made it look easy, so much so that she inspired me to sign up and run it this year! Watching her run the marathon and spending the weekend in Vancouver with just her was a serious highlight for me. Living in different cities, we don’t get to spend nearly enough time together, this weekend will always have a special place in my heart! Can’t wait for August 2016 when we will cross the finish line TOGETHER!

Helped my friends celebrate engagements, baby announcements, and weddings!   This year was such an amazing year for many of my close friends and I couldn’t be more excited and proud of their accomplishments… 2016 is sure to be an exciting year for many of my babes!

Saw Taylor Swift in concert…best birthday gift ever!!

9.) Last, but certainly not least I took a chance, put myself out there, and started Teach Me Style. Never in a million years would I have thought TMS would get the positive reactions it has. The support, encouragement, and love has been unreal. Creating my blog has allowed me to connect with amazing people all over the world, made me more comfortable in my own skin, and has taught me more than I thought possible. Thanks so much for following along and cheers to making 2016 the best year yet!
Happy New Years!!!!

Sequins… it literally screams New Years Eve. A fun twist on a simple crop and skirt, perfect for whatever adventures you stumble upon (literally).  I grabbed this sequins top at The Dress Form, a curated vintage clothing etsy shop (also a boutique location within Cade Style Lounge) and then paired it with this super fun tulle skirt from Nico! Fun, flirty, and festive… perfect for the festive season.

Also, can we talk about my nails?!  Rose gold sparkle… I can’t even!  Chia Habte gives the most amazing manicures! If you’re from here chances are you go to Chia or know someone who does- legit best gelish manicures ever… more about her in an upcoming post!

Lace… classy, timeless, and sophisticated. This dress was given to me by Brandon’s mom, Lena who I believe acquired it from her sister. It was a floor length ball gown which was stunning but I wanted to shorten it simply to get more wear out of it. Lena, who is an unbelievably talented seamstress transformed the gown into this little ditty before I had a chance to finish my wine! Thanks SO much, Lena!!

New Years is one of those special occasions where getting your makeup done by a professional is just so fun and makes you feel like a million bucks! I had the pleasure of getting mine done by Meagan From Face By Meagan for my shoot. What a treat it was to sit back and let Megan work her magic- those wispy lashes, smoky eye, and highlight… yasssss, girl!

So…  if I do make it off the couch, what do you guys think!? Lace or sequins?!
