Hooray, we are one today! While we celebrate with a flute of fizz (or perhaps just a cup of tea) we wanted to share a round-up of some of our most favourite posts over the last year. Thanks so much to each and every one of you for all you have done to make Rock My Style what it is today.
We’ve seen our little community grow month on month so some of you might not have seen all of the articles from our archives. Let’s delve in shall we.
Four Walls
Everyone loves a good home tour! One of our very first features had a good old snoop around the beautiful Edwardian terrace of Abigail Warner. You loved her romantic and minimalist style and we all wanted to move in.
After talking to a friend on the difficulties of finding the right neutral paint, I chatted about my own choices in ‘The Right White’ back in April. Loads of helpful suggestions came in from our readers and led on to the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ feature rounding up my favourite greys.
The Closet
Nearly a year ago, Adam photographed Charlotte for a maternity style feature wearing her winter to spring transitional pieces. With a super cute bump this fashion post is must for any pregnant ladies. If you’re not in the pre or post-natal way then Miranda’s very insightful denim dilemma had us all discussing our favourite jeans.
Mirror, Mirror
Towards the end of summer, Charlotte spoke about her best beauty investment. Turns out it wasn’t a fancy piece of make-up, no it was braces. It turns out many of you have joined Mrs O’Shea with dental endeavours too.
Expensive face creams turned into quite a discussion when our beauty queen mentioned her quest for ‘gleaming poreless flawlessness’. Lots of you shared your skincare favourites in this post.
Caffeine
Our coffee break section features everything from ballerinas to books with a huge dose of bouncing babies.
Back in July we were delighted to have a tour around the office of Sundari Kumar, AKA ‘The Wedding Stylist’. This careers feature had sequins, glitter and polka dots as well as inspirational words.
Back to babies and one little lady has taken centre stage since March. Mabel’s adventures have been keeping us all entertained, so much so we even added a maternity section after the blog was launched.
Culinary
Charlotte’s clean eating journey began at the start of summer 2014 and it’s been facinating to hear about the dietry changes and habits we are all adapting. This post is worth checking out for some healthy lunch ideas.
If you’re after something a little bit naughty than Charlotte from Buttercream and Dreams as had us all on a sugar high for the last year. Her easy chocolate truffles proved very popular.
Wanderlust
Finally our travel section has proved we all love a holiday! In fact Miranda’s Travel Wishlist feature last week suggested you guys are extremely well travelled and you have some very exciting things to look forward to this year.
Closer to home there were some brilliant suggestions for a romantic break in the UK (definitely worth checking out if you’re planning an anniversary trip).
A whistle-stop tour of 52 weeks of posts. Phew, here’s to the next year of Rock My Style, it’s going to be a good one.
Happy Birthday RMS! Here’s to all the pretty in the year ahead (and beyond!) x
Thanks Ashley! x
Congratulations for a wondeful year! I am relatively new to Rock My Style – moving over from RMW after I got married in September. (Although I do still pop by to RMW to generally coo and get my bridal fix when things get really bad 😉 ) I just wanted to let you know how much a part of my working week you have all become – I get to work early, and always make a cup of coffee and read any new posts you have published before starting the day in ernest. It’s a great start to the day, so thank you and long may it continue! x
Sarah, this is so lovely to hear. So pleased to hear we accompany your morning coffee. Hope you’re having a great day so far x
Happy 1st birthday! Keep up the good work. Lauren – I really enjoyed your interior posts, especially about paint -so useful! X
Thanks so much Gina. Keep your eyes peeled we hopefully have a paint feature coming up in the very near future. x
Happy 1 year!!! & thank you for letting me be apart of it 🙂 well done on all your amazing hard work – such awesome daily inspiration to everyone out there.
best blog. obvs xx
Hi Sundari! Thanks lovely. Thanks for letting us feature your splendid office. I’m still desperate for gold dots on my walls! x
Congratulations! I’m always amazed by how put together your homes look in your interiors posts (I’m also a lover of grey), and look at Charlotte’s bump there! Amazing. How things change. Congrats on a great year.
Thanks Kate. You should see the chaos that’s out of shot when put together our interiors posts 😉 x
Thank you Lauren! I just went back and pinned loads of photos from Abigail’s home tour…I don’t know how I missed that? Especially love the lounge photos as we want to put in some alcove cupboard and shelves in our lounge!
Hi Kitty, Abi’s house is an absolutely stunner isn’t it? The lounge is one of our most pinned pins so very popular with the stylish pinterest crowd 😉 x
I can believe it! Maybe I missed it because it went up before we bought our house and so I wasn’t really thinking about interiors and decor…Obsessed with all of these posts now though! I’ll have to post pics for you on Instagram or something when we’ve finally completed something!
I was looking at the romantic break in the UK post and others yesterday evening to help me plan a weekend away at the end of February. Please don’t ever get rid of the search feature.
We won’t Sarah! Hope you have an ace trip away x
Happy first birthday RMS! I absolutely love reading all your posts and RMS has most definitely become an essential daily fix for me. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to see what the next year has in store. x
Thanks Lucy. Great to hear we’re a daily read for you x
Happy first birthday! I was so happy when you launched RMS and my new husband hoped it would provide a good distraction to my daily check on all things RMW, this of course has not happened and I’m still checking in daily! I really should submit my own wedding!
I’ve loved everything you’ve shared, so relevant, so fabulous & the RMS community really do rock. Massive congrats to you all. Xxxxxx
Hello Mrs R – such lovely words, our readers do well and truly rock x
Happy 1st birthday to you all at RMS I love checking in on my lunch time break to see what blog goodies you’ve got every day. My purse and bank balance would be a lot larger without RMS but you always show me items that I simply NEED in my life xx
Ha ha Helen, we try our best 😉 x
Happy Birthday RMS!
Where can I get dipped ankle boots?! I’ve been looking everywhere 🙂

The ones Charlotte mentions in her maternity-wear post? Try River Island or have a look at the Ash Jalouse boots. x
