Screw diamonds, gold is a girl’s best friend! So why this random burst of gold inspiration? To celebrate 2 years of blogging, of course!

As a list phenom, I couldn’t resist a good recap post. 2010 was my first full year of blogging, so to commemorate, I thought I would revisit some of my favourite posts here at Shimmer Like Gold over the past 12 months.

P.S. Since there are handful of posts listed below, I italicized 12 of my all-time favourites.

January
Dear Future Me (1/01); Anna Inghardt (1/04); Decluttering (1/18); Bright Star (1/25), On Finding (And Keeping) Your Inspiration (1/27)

Transparent Boots
Because they’re just downright amazing and I want/need them in my life.
(For once, a fashion lust that would actually be practical since I’m severly lacking in rain appropriate footwear.)
