2011 was a pretty great year. Now that I look back, I got to experience a lot of amazing things and I’m so grateful for these opportunities. I hope you had an amazing 2011…but let’s make 2012 even better!
Here’s a look at of some of my favorite moments from this past year…

Getting a good camera! So I can share better quality pictures with you, my lovely readers, and also so I can take sick pictures like this…


Meeting Brian Atwood…because not only are his shoes gorgeous, so is he!

Having ChiCityFashion be featured in the latest issue of CS Magazine…along with my favorite blogger friends.

Meeting Glenda Bailey…she made Harper’s Bazaar what it is today and she is one of the most incredible people I’ve met to date.

My first Chanel bag…enough said 🙂

A surprise appearance by Giuliana and Bill at my 23rd birthday.

Seeing a Kelly bag get made before my very eyes at the Hermes Festival of Crafts.

It was my goal this year to make it to the McQueen exhibit at the Met, and thanks to their lovely extension…I made it!

Photographed by Tommy Ton (without even knowing it!) my first day at Fashion Week in New York this year. And seeing it on Style.com the next day…unreal!

I think this one takes the cake. Meeting my favorite designers (Jack and Lazaro), designing a custom version of my very favorite bag (the PS1), and it all led up to this…

I still can’t believe I own the only custom PS1. Officially the most treasured item in my closet.
