2013 has been a bit of a milestone year for Covet and Acquire.
When I started this blog back in July 2011, I set out to chronicle my personal style evolution -- and share it with anyone who cared to tune in. And let's just say ... it took a while to generate interest.
In fact, it wasn't until this year that I felt that my message --- Real girl, Real body, Real budget -- began to resonate with the style-blog-reading set.
Benchmarks I've been striving for, such as an increase in traffic (still growing ...) and brand recognition (finally!), to getting the opportunity to attend the annual Lucky Fashion and Beauty Bloggers Conference in New York City (OMG!), have finally come to fruition after endless hours of photo taking, editing and nonstop social media.
2013 has afforded me some amazing opportunities -- ones that I can't wait to build on in the next 12 months and beyond. To say I'm grateful/nervous/excited about what the future holds for my blog and I would definitely be an understatement.
So, here's to 2014 and never giving up. May the next year bring us all happiness, good fashion fortune and even more style opportunities in which to sparkle and shine on Covet and Acquire.
