2025 Recap!!!

I love recapping my years on here. I write so few blog posts now in comparison to high school and college, but there are a few things that are still sacred to me: annual recaps, travel recaps, the moodboard... things like that. Sometimes I wonder if I should be writing more blog posts, not so much for other people anymore, but just for myself. The last few years have truly been some of the most wonderful years, and one day I might want to look back on these posts and reminisce about how fun, how fabulous, how lucky I was to spend my 20s in New York. 

Anyway, at the very least, I want to recap my 2025 now at a high-level. I love to look back on the highlights, the travels, and the key milestones of the year. 

The Monthly Moodboard: January 2026 Desktop & iPhone Wallpapers

Hello, 2026! I am so excited for this year. I'll do a proper recap of 2025 in a separate post, but for now I am enjoying getting inspired for 2026 and thinking about what I want to accomplish and experience this year. The past two weeks have been so lovely, celebrating Christmas with family, New Years with Joe, and not having to work much. We've just been watching lots of Landman (soo good - it's on Paramount Plus; it reminds me a little of Yellowstone!), reading, cleaning out our closets, and cooking at home.

December 2025 Moodboard (Desktop & iPhone Wallpapers)

December is here! What a year it's been; from a handful of ski trips to kick off 2025, to a fun spring in the city cheering on the Knicks, back to Nantucket, Newport and Italy this summer, and a lovely fall back in the city, it was another wonderful year.

 I am feeling so grateful for another year of health, fun travels, my job, and this community - coming off the heels of Thanksgiving last week, I want to say an extra thank you to all of you who support on IG, click and shop my links, and of course, download and share the moodboard every month. I love making the moodbooards, sharing a little bit of my life here year after year, so thank you for the love and support! I hope you love this one.

Please tag me on Instagram if you download this month's moodboard -- I absolutely love to see it on your screens!
