Happy New Year! I didn’t manage to post this before 2018, but better late than never, right? 2017 was definitely the fastest year I’ve ever experienced. It’s hard to believe we were still living in Italy less than a year ago and now we are in Jordan as a family of three. Even though she didn’t arrive until December, the highlight of my year was definitely the debut of our sweet Lila Blake. Speaking of which, my most popular posts were baby-related, which surprised me since my blog centers around fashion. That said, I’d love to know—would you guys enjoy seeing more motherhood-related content for the new year? As always, thank you all so much for your continued support and I wish everyone the very best for 2018!
