Another Year, Another Page

Moi, stuffing my face at an early age with my Pop

It's 4am and I have just finished piping the meringue on my baking sheets, ready for the scorching heat of my by-now-very-exhausted oven, in preparation for the party...later tonight. In case you haven't read my tweets or my Facebook page yet, it's my birthday and today I turn 22. As my self-imposed tradition dictates, today marks the last summer party before the Fall so just like clockwork, my kitchen is on a graveyard shift, churning out tonight's menu. I haven't even updated my Paris journal yet because it has been so hectic, but if all goes well (fingers crossed, for the seventh year running), it will all pay off in the form of a great celebration with all my family and friends. This year I don't feel any wisdom pearls added to my years, but then again the year has only just begun. Hopefully the Fates have a lot more in store for me than the last. So in the spirit of leaving behind my 21 year-old self and welcoming the one who's a year older, here's a list of last year's highlights.

• Turning 21! (duh!)
• Kickstarting my fashion writing/blogging/tweeting career
• Finally finding my true shade of foundation, after years of searching
• Passing my Second Year 
• Meeting lots of new people and building new friendships

and finally, 

PARIS!

Look out for the rest of my Paris journal entries! But until the next one, I hope you all have a great weekend. As for me? I'm pretty stoked for my birthday bash tonight. I shall toast to more birthdays, family, friends, and hopefully...love. Here's to turning another page in my book!
