And that's a wrap!
I hope you all have a happy and safe New Years Eve!
I will probably be on my couch watching Midnight in Pairs and nodding off before midnight, becuase I'm practically 26 86 years old, and that's how I roll.

  22. I love how you presented your year in review- the wide angle lens shot is incredible! I watched "Midnight in Paris" a couple of days ago and just loved it- I hope you did too! Happy New year (if it's any consolation, I wanted to spend NYE doing just what you had planned!)

  25. Suite!! You always have the best recaps. What a fantastic year! It is so funny because I spent my New Year Eve watching the same movie. A trip to Paris is on my wish list. Keep doing what you are doing, you work and style is fantastic.
