2010…A Few Highlights
December 31, 2010
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.)
Attended a lovely dinner party hosted by Kate Spade New York. Met one of my idols, their genius Creative Director, Deborah Lloyd. (Dec.)
Matchbook began blogging for the Huffington Post. The first of many posts to come! (Dec.)
Thank you to everyone that made 2010 so special! I can’t wait to see what 2011 brings!

Much luck to Mr. Armour in law school! I recently graduated from law school last December and passed the Bar this year! So I know how much work it is! Great highlights :)

Discovered the neo-trad in 2010.
Has become a daily read (I seriously get excited when I see the lovely images from the neo-trad that spring up on my fb wall.)
Can’t wait for more inspiring posts in 2011!

My dear Mrs. Armour, you’ve had quite an adventurous year! Moving cross-country, getting married, AND launching a magazine..?! Of course, I have high hopes that 2011 will be just as lively (and successful!) : )
A highlight of my 2010 was no doubt becoming acquainted with you… Where would I be without your support and guidance?!peace, love, and beaucoup de champagne!
XOXOXOXO
your “little sister” -

Your engagement photo is beautiful!! All the best to you in 2011!! -

my oldest daughter (college age) & i are eagerly awaiting the first matchbook mag….we were drawn in by the charming name of your new magazine, then completely captivated by the blogs of the three editors.
i have a feeling your 2011 may even surpass your 2010…

I’m with Missy — I also discovered you in 2010 and love everything about your style and grace– I think you inspire us all to approach life in a more sophisticated, curated fashion.

Nanne — I hope you and your daughter love our premier issue! I love that you’re both looking forward to it—we hope to transcend generations! xo
Kristen — Oh my goodness! I fear I’m not half as “sophisticated” as you ladies think, but I am flattered all the same. Wishing you the happiest of New Years! xoxo

Some how, some way my first comment to you has been lost. I want to wish you all of the happiness and success in the world. You are lovely and spunky and I like you so much (interesting) considering I do not know you personally. Your blog is sassy, inspiring, whimsical and charming…just like you!
Cheers to 2011!
xoxo Kit
