Looking Back: 2016
As 2016 comes to a close, I could not be more thankful for all that I have learned about fashion, style, and design, as well as life and myself through this blogging journey over the past 12 months! I feel so unbelievably blessed (and completely undeserving!) to have this incredible platform to share my passion and love for fashion, style, and travel with each of you, and I could not be more grateful for the many opportunities that came my way in 2016 all because of this blog and each of YOU! This job makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world- to be able to do what I love and share it with you. So a huge thank you goes to each of you that reads, follows, and checks lcbstyle.com each day. I could not be more grateful for your support and encouragement on this fashion journey. I hope that in some small way, I have been able to inspire you through this blog! I am so looking forward to another year of creating more fashion, style, and travel content to share with each of you! It is bittersweet to say goodbye to a year that brought so much joy, growth, and opportunity, but I am hoping and expecting even greater things for 2017! Praying each of you has an incredible new year filled with boundless blessings!
Last year, at the end of 2015, I shared a roundup of all my favorite posts from the year (see last year's post here), so I want to continue that tradition this year and share my favorite posts and memories from 2016 today! Below I have rounded up some of my favorite posts to create a visual timeline of LCB Style in 2016! Some highlights from this year on LCB Style were designing/creating my first collection of fashion designs (LCB Collection), joining rewardStyle to create more shoppable content for you, becoming the brand ambassador for The Greenbrier Resort, and partnering with a few of my dream brands like MICHELE Watches, Draper James, Barbour, and more! Some of my favorite features this year included seeing my fashion illustration on Tory Burch; being featured Draper James, Old Navy, and LikeToKnow.It; and continuing to be a part of "My MICHELE Story" with MICHELE Watches!
