One year. It was weird going through my archives for this post. I don't think I have ever scrolled through the whole thing. There are a few of you who have been with me the ENTIRE time. Some who have come and gone. Some who are brand new to this space. I just want to say thank you. Thank you for giving my thoughts an audience for the past year. This has been a year I will likely remember more vividly than any other that came before it. Its been a year of great discovery. It feels very strange to be able to witness it as a viewer and as a subject. To be able to look back on the year and have such a clear record of it.  Bizarre.  Lets see what happens now. I hope you will join me.

Congratulations on your 1 year blogiversary! I must've started following you AFTER you dyed your hair. You look like a completely different person as a dark brunette. :-)

you blog is absolutely wonderful! Your outfits are beautiful!! I can't wait to be a follower.

marGINAlly oriGINAl said...

Ahhh, I have goose bumps all over. I can't believe I stumbled upon you on Chictopia by chance. Wow. I'd be dramatically different if I never got to one-way-meet-you through a computer screen. Your stream of conscience and opinions and outfits and aesthetics... They've been amazing to witness, and it's inspiration in the rawest form what you've got here. I'm sure it'll only get better, so keep with it, Christina. You're onto something brilliant. (:

Bianca said...

Congrats! I love all your outfits, its nice to see some of your favorites:)

Congratulations on your year of blogging! You're one of my daily reads even though I don't comment often. I love what you do--your amazing vintage style and your honest writing.

Unknown said...

I will definatly join you!
It's always fun to look back at your past outfits...they're always so unique, and chic!

Kimberellie said...

Hey Christina, I totally love you. You are fantastic. I don't know what I love more about you: your beautiful heart, your amazing sense of style, or your clever cleverness with words. Seriously, YOU are the total package.

Also, I really like you as a blonde.

Also, that pic of you in your underoos, THAT post was the post that sealed the deal for me, the: IhavetoreadthisblogeverydayorIjustwon'tfeelright deal. Because that post was JUST SO FREAKIN' funny and hilarious and clever and heartfelt.

What I like about your blog: the youness of it. You just put so much of yourself in.

And you are the reason I say "freakin'" now. I hope you know that. You're contagious...with fantastic-itious.

heart: Kimberellie

HAPPY BLOGDAY

The Semi Sweet said...

I'm here till the end!!! Love your personality, style and of course all your backgrounds. And duh, your writing:) random, witty and honest. Love it!

Liv said...

Awesome sartorialographical round-up! I'd only ever seen you as a blonde, you look so different! I really like both, and as someone currently debating going either much blonder or much darker (I've already been both), you're not making my decision any easier!

Melody said...

Found your blog mid-summer and have been hooked ever since. I take a break mid-morning from work every day to check in. I appreciate and look forward to the combination of your distinct personal style, the gorgeous backdrops, and your honest thoughts. I also feel a connection in that I have a little guy the same age as yours and live in a rural area where anyone with any sort of style stands out. Don't stop anytime soon!

archives vintage said...

happy one year!!! so happy i found you :)

Anonymous said...

Oh my goodness. I didn't begin to read you until late April, the point in time where it appears that you changed your hair color.

What dramatic changes I see even with a consistently solid sense of style.

This is what I'm hoping will happen to me!!!

Anonymous said...

I absolutely love your style! I'm excited to see where you go next year :)

Wow! One year! Congrats. When I saw the beginning of your post I was confused by the brown-haired girl and then I realized. I like the blonde - you pull it off really well. - Katy

Congrats on being able to maintain your blog! I love timeline posts! I love your style! I love where you live! I'm looking forward to the "new year" and the new styles that you can produce.

the Citizen Rosebud said...

omg, happy one year anniversary. I remember the room photos, now. the outlet used to bug the crap out of me. but you always dress so fresh, and cute. notice how you go through phases of the same pose.

i tell you: you've really come into your own. the outdoor photos got more interesting. you lightened your hair. lightened up. let us in.

it's been a wonderful year. i've come and gone and come back again. and it's been a lovely time sharing this remarkable year.

here's to many more, chica.

RoseAG said...

Happy Blog Birthday!

I hope you don't have to migrate back indoors with wintery weather approaching.

You seem to live in a spot with excellent outdoor light.

Stephanie said...

Wow, these have a totally different feel! I love that frilly red skirt :)

Rachael said...

Happy year 1 to second skin! I hope there are many, many more to come. I started getting interested in blogs in January and yours was one of reasons I made my own as well as one of the first I followed. I still don't follow that many and yours is still one of my absolute favs!
You're my fashion inspiration. And life-inspiration, too ;)

sydney said...

aw, happy one year anniversary! i remember starting to read your blog during the beginning months, and i just love that it was SO good from the very beginning. your style, your outfits, the photos, everything you've been posted this year has been awesome!
