Another Year in the Jar








Now the candles are extinguished and the golden days and nights full of champagne, roses and treats are over, I can sit down and think.
It looks like magic how fast this 2012 has flown away.
Sometimes I wonder if, by some dark spell, I am sleeping in a high tower as the time goes by. 
But ey, that would mean that I am not getting older anymore (and unfortunately I am, that´s for sure darlings).
No regrets, though.




Glancing back,I can see how many things I´ve done this year without even noticing:

  • I passed some tedious exams, so I am really close to get my degree now (in the past some subjects were pretty much a bunch of Horror Cruxes to me). 
  •  I found a great job that helps to mantain this gorgeous apartment and my quiet lifestyle together mith my better half.
  •  I met new friends. It´s so nice when you are able to connect with people who are just your cup of tea.

And what do I wish for this new 2013?

Good question, indeed. I´d like to think that I will be totally finished with my degree and my academic research by the end of this year.
I also want to find a good opportunity to move to the UK (my boyfriend and I have several projects about this).

Adulthood is a funny moment in life, because basically you never know what you are going to find in the path, right? I hope all of you find your own destiny this year.
I send you all my love.

  3. Wow! Such amazing food and table decorations! Oh, and the cupcake looks so yummy...!
    I really like your outfit for New Year's Eve; the corset is awesome and I love how you paired it with the furry shrug. The mask adds a touch of mystery and elegance <3

    1. I think I had too many cupcakes in NYE, but they were delicious as you guessed, so not totally my fault ;-)

      Thanks a lot for your comments about my outfit.
      I thought the mask could be a plus.

    1. The tablecloth came from a hyppie store. It is supposed to be natural silk Thai -printed. Someday I'd like to have my livingroom all decorated with orientalist-decadent-British-Victorian-colonialist stuff.

      Thanks for the nice words (actually blushing).

  7. Thanks sweetie! It was a happy day indeed. Lots of presents under the Christmas tree this year (it looks like I was a nice girl).

    Apart from this, I love it when it comes to aristocratic style. I am a bit an old gloomy countess at heart, so funny to hear this from you :-)

    I wish you the best for this year too!

  9. Ey, dearie!

    I am happy to hear about you :-)
    Dying to know what's going in your life.

    2012 was a good year indeed, but I guesd 2013 will require a good dose of optimism and mental strenght as long as too many goals are on my list. I'll try to do my best though.

  10. Finding new people you can truly connect with is a rare treasure, indeed. I had that same good fortune in the past year, and hope we all have more of that in 2013!!

    (Sorry for my belated comments - holidays followed by illness followed by house guests really wiped me out for a while! I do appreciate your post for the NYE theme!!)

  11. Yes, meeting new people is kind of a Rara Avis to me. I am pretty shy, indeed, so any new friend with a special connection is appreciated.

    Do not worry about the delay; Christmas time is a madness.
