Happy New Year from Life of Lovely

As 2011 comes to a close, we'd like to hope that you've had a lovely year and to wish our readers a Happy New Year for 2012.

We'd also like to share some of our plans for the upcoming year in 2012 and some of our favorite posts from 2011.

If you aren't already following Life of Lovely on Twitter, you'll want to start following by January 1st.  Every day we'll be tweeting our favorite inspiration, thought-provoking, silly, or serious quotes.

Now, to some of the highlights of 2011 here at Life of Lovely.

The most popular post by far was Jennifer's tutorial on how to do hair inspired by Rihanna.  While our end product isn't quite as bold as Rihanna, it's still equally fun and probably a bit more wearable for the average person.

My favorite recipe that we've shared here this year is definitely the Blueberry White Chocolate Cupcakes.  Although these cupcakes take a little bit of time, the taste is more than worth the effort.  The season for fresh blueberries has passed, but if you happen to have any frozen blueberries, I would advise making these.  Then, you can share...or not.

Finally, I'd like to share my favorite of the book reviews.  While I've enjoyed every book I've reviewed for Life of Lovely in the past year, my favorite was Little Green Dresses.  I really liked to concept of re-using fabrics and making them into fun, fashionable things.  Although as I said in the review, I wouldn't make about half of the things in the book because they weren't my style, I'd still like to try the other 25!


Happy New Year!
