Farewell 2011!

I can honestly say that 2011 just flew by, it's unreal! Maybe it's because it has been such a busy year for me, but still, I'm sure I'll be writing down 2011 in my notebooks for several more month now, hahaha.
I wanted to take a moment and thank you all for reading my blog throughout this year, I really appreciate it, and I promise to try and make 2012 even better in regards to posts and content!
As a matter of fact, I already have numerous new year's resolutions, I just hope I'll be able to fulfill as many of them as possible.
For now, I leave you with several inspiring photos for the occasion.

And since everyone likes a toast, here is the perfect cocktail - The French 75:

Ingredients 
3 ounces gin 
3 ounces fresh lemon juice 
4 teaspoons superfine granulated sugar
