Today is Adornabelle’s birthday! We’re celebrating three, ridiculously good and crazy years today in our little corner of the internet. It’s been a huge learning experience, and I won’t lie–there’ve been a lot of sweat and tears behind the scenes on my part! But Adornabelle keeps growing, and I’m super excited about the things we have planned for year four on the site.
We want to thank each of you who have stuck it out with us, who give us valuable feedback and who contribute in so many ways to the successes we’ve had here. So today, we’re celebrating three crazy, awesome years. We can’t share cake and flowers with all of you, so we’re going to do the next best thing. We’re sharing some of the highlights from the last three years, and giving away some of our favorite things! Hope you’ll come and celebrate with us today!
Highlights
We’ve had some good posts this year. These are some favorites from 2015.
- A new Mom’s Guide to Dressing Without Stressing
- How to find a bra that fits right
- How to pack for 3 weeks abroad with a capsule wardrobe
- 5 tips to thrift shop successfully
Ever wonder what Adornabelle’s most popular posts ever are?

- How to Wear Leggings Modestly
The original “Got Curl” content continues to be one of our most popular categories ever! And it makes sense with so many curly girls in this world. One of our top moments from the past year was when BuzzFeed decided to feature Adornabelle’s top post in one of their roundups. It was fun to see all the new visitors head over here and some of you have stuck around!

I just found your site. Looks like I have some reading to catch up on!
My style is comfortable. Nothing fancy.
I’m brand new to this blog so I’m not sure what I would like to see more of. Tips for everything!
My style is down-to-earth. Jeans and a simple shirt or a tank and a light skirt are my favorites. I’ve always wanted to try a flexi-clip, since they’re so pretty and seem like a great way to keep my hair soft and out of the way.
My sense of style is currently evolving 🙂 But I currently view it as a mixture of classic/outdoorsy/graceful.
I’d love to simply see some basic/simple make-up and hair routines/tutorials and have also appreciated the style blogs.
I would define by style as “practical”, “northwestern” and sporty!
Hmm, define my style?
1. Feminine
2. Classic
3. Vintage
4. Eclectic
🙂
Yay! So excited for you! I’m a huge fit2b fan, but never enrolled. I just ogle all the content from afar. Lol. I’m new to you blog, but love to see nursing fashion. 🙂
I’d love to see more capsule wardrobe posts! An area I’m always refining in my own closet :). I thought the new mom’s dressing guide was excellent, very helpful.
Thank you for these giveaways!! I am very excited! =)
I would define my style as farm/english country/retro/feminine. I am hoping to sort-of make over my wardrobe to fit that style more.
Happy Birthday! I have been enjoying reading the blog posts and am looking forward to more!
I would like to see more fashion posts, as well as thrift store (like putting outfits together from thrift store finds).
My style: Defining my style is difficult, it varies by the day and according to my mood, but I’d say, I have a western/hipster/northwestern/casual style, with a quite a few flowy dresses thrown in the mix. 🙂 I’m not sure if it could be defined by any other word than eclectic. 😉
I’d like to see some more fashion posts as well as maybe makeup tutorials?
Happy Birthday, Adornabelle! I was so honored to be apart of your team for awhile. Love your beautiful blog and best wishes for continuing to post such wonderful content. <3
