That's where this new series came from. As my AWE-Stars know, I am no stranger to department stores.

ICONIC NYE STYLING OPTIONS

What better way to end the year than looking like an ICON? Move aside quiet luxury, we are looking to steal the show this New Years Eve and be loud about it.

Whatever your style is, you are bound to get some inspiration from these options. Will you walk in looking like the rich auntie who’s never in the country or the stay at home mom who knows how to put it on? Up to you, but whatever you do, look iconic.

What outfit are you pulling inspiration from for your NYE look?

WHAT I'M HAPPY I DIDN’T BUY 2024.

I couldn’t end the year without one last episode and this is a juicy one. In this episode, we chat about some trending items, “almost” classics and other items that are too ridiculous to believe. We’ve had such a time with this series that I had to end it with a bang.

Which item are you happy I didn’t buy this year? You can be honest!

It’s holiday crunch time, and my AWE-Stars and I are finishing the year strong—every outfit must slay! Whether you’re hosting, attending, or making an unforgettable entrance, it’s all about making your style mark with the perfect pieces. Thanks to @whbm for making it effortless to show up in style! Which look is your favorite, and where would you wear it? #WHBMpartner #WHBM #HolidayStyle

I love a good monochromatic outfit, especially when it features green!
Although the sweater featured to shop is purple, that is the same link to the green option. And you can get my Ajo Wallet that I’m carrying as a clutch on awelewabymonica.com.

SHOES THAT HURT FOR NO GOOD REASON - BOOT EDITION

When it comes to heels, I am ready for a little pain, but boots? I wish I gravitated to silhouettes that were friendly to my feet but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Whether it's the heel height, the instep or the space for my toes, all of these boots hurt!

In this episode, I talk about a few pairs from my closet and a pair that I couldn't believe were in existence.

Do you have any painful boots that you think should be featured in the series? Leave them below.

2024 was the year of the series.

And I’m not talking about your favorite streaming app. I’m talking about all things awedbymoni. It started off as a harmless albeit hilarious list of painful shoes and it grew into so much more. If I’m being honest, this year, I found my voice on fashion in the form of my series. I shared my candid opinions on the state of the industry, I steered my AWE-Stars in the right direction with their fashion purchases, I admitted fashion truths we all felt but might have never said aloud and so much more.

So here’s to the series and all that is to come from them in the new year. Who knows, a network might pick one up!
