New Year's Inspiration

How did I not know about Polyvore until tonight? It's such a fun fashion site where you can create inspiration boards pulling in images of various styles and trends across the web. According to the site, they get 10 million monthly unique visitors - so apparently I'm a bit late to the game.

My New Year's Eve was a quiet gathering in a friend's apartment, complete with gourmet appetizers, a few touches of sparkles and a champagne toast at midnight.

As we close the chapter of 2011, the things that stand out most in my memories are the celebrations and special quiet moments I had with family and friends, near and far. My new year's resolutions include taking more time to write, mastering the Spanish language and increasing my yoga practice.

Cheers to a happy and healthy 2012!

World's top 10 art museums

TripAdvisor recently named its list of the world's Top 10 art museums. I reviewed the list and discovered I've visited 7 of the 10 so far in my life. Not too shabby!

1) Musee du Louvre (Paris, France)

2) Vatican Museums (Vatican City, Rome, Italy)

3) Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, NY)

4) J. Paul Getty Center (Los Angeles, CA)

5) Musee d'Orsee (Paris, France)

6) Uffizi Gallery (Florence, Italy)

7) Art Institute of Chicago (Chicago, Illinois)

8) Tate Modern (London, England)

9) Prado Museum (Madrid, Spain)

10) National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.)

My personal opinion: Great list, but could also see the British Museum, MoMA, and Guggenheim(s) as other possible contenders.
