The PurseBlog team will be taking Thursday and Friday off to celebrate New Year’s with our friends and loved ones, but like most people, we’re also looking back at the year that’s been. 2015 was our most exciting year ever at PB, and we want to thank you for visiting us, chatting with us and being an invaluable font of ideas, information and inspiration.
