A NEW YEAR

Happy new year! Anyone else feel like the Holiday season was a whirlwind?

It flew by too fast, but I am so thankful that I had the chance to spend Christmas and New Years with my beloved family and friends. Especially in the midst of residency, these moments are most cherished.

I also cherish you and I'm so thankful for all of you who have stuck with me these past couple years despite my frequent absences from this place. I haven't been updating this blog as often as I've wanted, but this year I'm going to try to do better.

This year, I'll be sharing more stories about style, food, travel and most importantly great causes doing good around the world. I'm excited for the adventures to come! If there's one thing I know for certain, it's that God always has surprises up His sleeve. He's the most adventurous author of my story.

To get the year started, here are three looks featuring three tops from Closet Barcode, an online shop featuring items from small labels and designers. I wore all of these tops over the holidays and will be throughout the year since they are so versatile.

For this first look, I went casual for a cozy weekend. This top is so comfy and I love the fun print!

For the second look, I went for simplicity. I love the wrap top and gold chain detail.
