While picking out pictures for my year in review, I slowly became aware of how much has actually happened in just one year. I was in and out of doctor offices for the first couple of months of the year dealing with the dog bite on my face and all the complications that happened as a result, then finally feeling better and tackling the internship route, then heading off to Mexico for a wonderful vacation with Matt, then a gong show in Vegas with some of my girls, then working at Ishara and getting some great experience in the public relations world, then my whirlwind application to school, then starting journo school in September, then…well now my fingers are exhausted.

To say the least, it’s been a very full year. Despite the bad, I remember the good more than anything, and at the end of the day I think that’s the true mark of a good year. I feel very blessed for all the relationships that I’ve developed in the blogging world and in my “real world”, for the amazing opportunities that have come my way, and for the love and support I receive from so many incredible people, including you if you’re reading this!

I hope you all have a great time ringing in 2012 tonight, and that the new year presents only good things to you and your close ones! Thank you for all your support, it means the world to me. Happy New Year’s!

    It is so amazing how fast time flies, one year feels like one month!
    I totally thought I found your 'married and buried' outfit with link! Darn! That nymag website caps the designer collections til 2005, so stupid. so maybe it was beyond that.

    Hope you had an awesome New years!

    Your words are so true: despite all bad we should always remember only good things! and besides without negative how would we experience positive then?:) I'm glad to hear that your year was very exciting, full of events and in the end of the day very good one! I wish you all the best in the coming year! And I'm loving talking a look back at all your beautiful and stylish outfits;)

    You look like a model. Sounds like you've had a crazy year. Hope this year is a little better.

    A dog bite?! That sounds terrible, not fun at all. But I am glad you seem to be better, you`ve had a very stylish year and it sounds like it`s been a good one otherwise. Love the outfits 🙂
