Mr. Armour was accepted to law school in San Francisco. It was decided—we were moving back out west! (Feb)
My baby, Alfred the pug, turned one! (May)
Made a cross-country road trip moving back to California. Oklahoma is beautiful! (June)
Alfred was a big hit at the Grand Canyon. (June)
Moved to Alameda, a little island in San Franciso’s east bay. We live in a charming neighborhood brimming with Victorian homes and are a short walk from the beach! (July)
Took engagement photos with the amazingly talented Cooper Carras. Will treasure them always. (July)
Got married to a handsome boy from Maine in a little garden in California. I love you, Mr. Armour. (July)
Was a contributing editor to Lonny Magazine. A tremendous honor! (Oct.)
Announced my new project — the upcoming Matchbook Magazine. (Nov.)
Reconnected with the lovely girls at Lonny in New York. They were sweet as pie and brimming with good advice. Photo booth madness ensued. (Dec.)

Matchbook began blogging for the Huffington Post. The first of many posts to come! (Dec.)

You may or may not know that I love and adore the National Public Radio program This American Life. Mr. Armour and I always listen to hours of their podcasts on road trips and the host, Ira Glass, is a favorite. This “Mrs. Ira Glass” tote bag made me laugh out loud and the greeting card is pretty clever too. Any fellow NPR fans reading?

The new J.Crew catalog is out and I love it’s pared down simplicity. They’ve definitely returned to the classics and after season after season of frills I think the clean lines are a welcome break. What’s your take?

Love these shots of Kirsten Dunst for Lula Magazine. Her nude lips, long lashes and short red nails are tops in my book.
