This year has been absolutely amazing and this blog is a HUGE part of that! Through Louella Reese I have been able to share my passion for fashion, sweet treats, and more with so many people, make some incredible friends, and have a creative outlet that brings me so much joy. I have all of you to thank for making this all possible! You have no idea how much I appreciate each and every one of you following along, commenting, and supporting Louella Reese.

My mom and I decided to end 2014 with a bang a take a 12 day trip starting in NYC and then making our way to Israel. Yep you read that right! We are touring Israel. Starting off in Tel Aviv and ending up in Jerusalem. Our trip started the day after Christmas and will go until January 6th. I decided I wanted to fully enjoy the trip, time with my mom, and unplug  a bit. So today will be my last post of 2014. I will be back at it on January 6th and hope you will be right there with me!! I have scheduled some fun posts via Facebook and Twitter plus I will be keeping y’all updated via Instagram. So make sure you are following along with Louella Reese on Instagram  to see what all I’m up to!!

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and has a fabulous New Years Eve!  I look forward to catching back up with y’all on January 6th and if you have any questions about my trip or anything else feel free to email me at [email protected].
