The last month of the year always prompts me to assess my personal and professional performance. By year’s end, I will complete my annual vision board, but for now, I’d like to do a year-end year here for the Age of Grace.
My fourth year of blogging proved fruitful, and I saw a few collaborations with brands (that were new to me). In January, there was a collab with Chadwick’s of Boston on activewear; in August, one with Tena on its new incontinence products; in September, Soft Surroundings fall collection; in October, I worked with Chico’s to raise awareness on its Ribbon of Hope Breast Cancer Awareness T-Shirt, then, in November, I showed you a Soft Surroundings holiday look, and finally, in December, I introduced you to LilySilk.
Behind the scenes, I grew as a blogger, adding specific skills like updating my WordPress theme, attending a Word Camp, and participating weekly in StyleNudge’s Shoe and Tell link-up.
As for my favorite moments to blog about, attending a spring preview at Burberry in King of Prussia is definitely at the top of the list. As a Vogue VIP member in April, a guest and I hit the lottery to receive $1000.00 to spend at the store. I choose the Burberry reversible wool poncho in Ash and a Burberry Henry Moore limited-edition scarf. Cynthia picked the updated traditional trench in green.
But my absolute favorite, my blog’s pièce de résistance, if you will, was the Chico’s New York City meet-up. I’m really proud that I had the opportunity to approach a brand like Chico’s with such an idea, target the audience through the Forever Fierce group, and bring together twenty-five bloggers from New York City, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.
And I can’t do a recap without including my most liked photographs on Instagram. Above is my 2017 Best Nine, including a Forever Fierce Blogger, Anita Morris, who I featured in April as Women of Grace.
