I have never done it before. Repurposing content is an art and what better time than the end of the year to look back.

It’s been one to remember (mon Dieu it had been ages I didn’t feel that replenishing happiness in saying that) for accomplishments, travels and spiritual growth. I adore just about everything that happened in 2012.

Writing: did I really always harbored in my heart that love for writing? Yes I did, I have been blinded by life hustle to the point of digging a tunnel deep down to the earth and hide it as an unspoken treasure.

Accomplishments like writing for Examiner.com and CBS Local, landing a column on Fashionotes thanks to guest-blogging-guru Jon Morrow. Getting the press accreditation for Art Basel Miami Beach

Travels to Madrid to visit friends, to my beloved Florence and vintage scouting.

… and California, Playa del Carmen, Chicago.

Spiritual growth, time for myself, meditation and reflections about the culture I come from. Did I ever mentioned about my dream of retiring in Populonia? ‘cause if I didn’t, there you go.

Motherhood (who said that when kids grow they need you less? idiot!) like Cecilia’s blog.

Cheeky obsession with ‘weddings' to the point that I have had the honor to feature etiquette fairy Eleonora Miucci.

Fashion everything, any #anywhereFW, including Pitti, the first Christian Dior par Raf Simons, Schiaparelli moments and its related impossible fashiousness at the Met Gala (the highest fashion moment of the year)

Tiaras on my mind (almost ready for another tattoo) and London callin’ (just about time to go back)

Here we are welcoming a new year.

Sending you all wishes for it to bring you all you wish for. Simple.

Yours truly
