+ 2012 FAVORITE POSTS!

I'm a little late on getting this post up, but I've done it for the past couple of years and felt off because I hadn't yet.  I also realized that it's way too long, and quite possibly not that interesting because you've already seen all of these photos before, perhaps more than once.  Starting to feel like this post is more my own (public) diary of the past year, which I'm fine with.  By the way- I don't know how 2013 can top 2012...it was such an awesome year.  Anyway, here are my favorite posts of 2012 :)


In January, I curated a sale for Joss & Main, helped with a Refinery 29 organizing article, and organized my makeup brushes:


I also spent more time with my camera that same month and took maternity photos for my friends Adam & Elaine (who now have the cutest baby I've ever seen).


I also spent time organizing my handbags in a storage bench


made some valentine cookies in February: 


In March I went to Park City, UT and received a sweet gift from Patricia over at pve...


Finally completed our wedding invites in that same month...

 


 

 and made Easter cookies


 took a trip to the Farmers Market for some bright flowers

oh, and did that other little thing....got married !


did some organizing, got a new planner, and celebrated 4th of July...oh, and went to Costa Rica for our honeymoon!


made my FAVORITE scrub after being inspired by our trip.  No joke, I've made a lot of scrubs (as seen on this blog), but nothing beats this one.  And it's still going strong 6 months later!


made some summer salads in July, here , here and here


went to Capitola in August for a bach party

In Sept. we enjoyed san francisco to the fullest with friends + organized + added the c's from our wedding to our gallery wall (which is now gone- ha)


went to a beautiful wedding in central california:


then went to another gorgeous wedding the next weekend in Napa:

In October we had a blast at Fleet Week

 

took down the gallery wall and started over...


 and started creating mini gallery walls all over the house:


 took an epic trip to Tahoe that same month...


organized my denim in Oct. and happy to say this is still working out very well for me...


the Giants WON in Oct and the city was on fire!


 went to Napa for a very fun wine tasting trip:


 in November I was thrilled when my sweet photographer let me know my bouquet was in Southern Weddings


made my first gingerbread smoothie in Nov




 in Dec. Chris & I went back to the town we were hitched in for a little 6 month anniversary ;)

    1. Thank you!

      I don't have a pic, but it's just an empty unit. I stack my purses on one side, and keepsake boxes on the other ;)

  6. Carlee,
    I hope you will continue to do this wrap up post each year, because I LOVED it!!! 2012 was definitely a banner year for you, but I'm sure that smile and joie de vivre will ensure that 2013 is just as spectacular.

    Thank you for sharing all those fun and happy moments. All the best to you in 2013!!
    xoxo Elizabeth

  8. I was immersed in wedding planning and am only just getting back to all things home and design! I love that you were able to keep your feet in the wedding world and the design world.

  9. I just wanted to let you know I absolutely love your blog, It may have something to do with the fact that we share a last name. Though it's mostly because of how perfect it is.
