2012: Year in Review

I've had such an amazing year from my move to New York, to my brother's wedding, and a pretty intense hurricane, among other things.  Enjoy my 2012 year in photos and have a look back at my {almost} equally as great 2011 while you're at it.

I shared a look at my journey to NY, and I also shared what I would be wearing during my first week at work!  

I experienced my first NYFW presentation when I went to check out Odilon.  I also hit the 5,000 view milestone earlier this year.  Later in the year I hit 10,000!  

I spent many days exploring my new 'hood and even got to spend a weekend away with my friend in Vegas. The views from the plane did not disappoint. 

It was in Vegas that I got lucky.  Marni x H&M was finally mine!  In May my brother and {now} sister-in-law got engaged at the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge park with both the BK and Manhattan bridges in sight.  

In June I accepted a full-time position at Attention, and I also got to spend a weekend on the water with my family.  

I checked out the amazing Little Black Jacket exhibit when it made a stop in NYC, and in August went home to be a part of their amazing wedding.  

September meant that I got to go to work at a NYFW presentation for Rachel Roy's Spring 2013 line.  It also meant that I got to attend a swanky picnic at Fort Greene Park.

I started sharing some outfit photos with you all, courtesy of Miss Whoever You Are.  In the aftermath of Sandy I took a run to the Manhattan bridge and saw Tower 1 lighting up lower Manhattan.  

I spent the night at Parlor Showroom enjoying some art and fashion during the Holiday party season before coming home to Michigan to enjoy time with my friends and family.  

In the new year I plan to explore the city in ways that I never have before, and become even more a part of the amazing community in Brooklyn that I've been welcomed into.  2013, I can't wait to meet you.  Happy New Year!!

2011 {First} Year in Review

This post will serve as a walk down memory lane, I had such a great summer in Charleston, SC and was able to incorporate so much of my surrounding environment.  I've also highlighted some of 2011's best trends.  Without further ado, here is my review of some favorite posts from Sartorial Roadmap's first year...

 Residents of the Runway: Seriously Feminine was inspired by this perfect little house right down the street from my apartment.

Stripes + Stripes = Style Stars was inspired by this SS '11 trend, which also reminds me of a dress in this post!

I had A LOT of fun with my Oh Irene post, listing necessities for the incoming Hurricane...that ended up causing mayhem for a whole 10 minutes...

Jenny & I stopped by Sugar Bakeshop to celebrate 1,000 views on my blog!

This was definitely a favorite post, PJ's In Public highlighted the silk p.j. trends that were shown on runways around the world!

In September I prepared my Missoni x Target Shopping List and was able to score a few of my favorite things, but I'm still bitter about the socks!!

The Paris Market was definitely a highlight during my trip to Savannah, and obviously seeing this girl!

Design minded in every sense of the word, Jenna Lyon's just knows what she's doing, and that's why Lyon's Den is my favorite interior design-centric post.

Going to see My First Artprize in Grand Rapids was so fun, the above piece was one of my favorites!

Thanks for a great first year, I can't wait to dive into 2012!  I'm moving to New York in exactly 1 week and can't wait to see what the year brings!!
