A year ago today, I was sat at home in Yorkshire recovering from a fairly serious operation. I was supposed to be off work for a month, but boredom got me better of me and I was back after two weeks - I'm not good at the sitting still thing. So, from my sick bed I started South Molton St Style. My first post was hopeless, my images were rubbish and my blog looked awful - I didn't have a clue - I thought Jil Sander had two L's, I couldn't pronounce Moschino (and I supposedly speak Italian) and I didn't know what 'couture' was. Writing this blog has been a great learning curve for me, and has never stopped being fun which is what is most important. Any way, today has made me reflect on all the things I have done since I started:

girlfriends, got a better camera, spent too much time in Betty's Tea Rooms in Harrogate, got Olympics tickets, took the plunge and left my horrible job, went to my friend's baby shower, bought a few handbags, got my head around Tumblr, went to Sweden for a magical winter break, wrote for the Evening Standard, took any excuse to visit North Yorkshire, taught the puppy not to wee inside, joined Pinterest, got a new job, had the best birthday dinner with my nearest and dearest, took the puppy for his first photoshoot, had Christmas with my family, finally became the owner of a Kate Spade wallet, and I met my friend's baby - a gorgeous little boy (the only man allowed to our coffee breaks)...Phew, it's been a very good year.
Thank you to everyone - old friends who think me writing a blog is hilarious, new friends who comment on the opposite, followers who's words make my day.
Happy Birthday to South Molton St Style!
