In this last week of the year there’s a sense of finitude and melancholy in the air. It’s inévitable not to think about all incredible memories I made this year, the beautiful beginnings and the painful endings, the leçons I had to learn over and over, and the amazing, supportive people I encountered...
I am ending the year with a desire to create, to be more kind, to do better, to be more passionate about the things I do on a daily basis.
And as for the party on New Year’s Eve, I have two amazing places in mind that have the ambiance and le style in which to spend the last day of the year in a glamorous way--see them below.
Wish you the most beautiful year, health, love and laughter for you and your beloved ones. --Daniela

Dana is a fragile dreamer, they say, arriving in Paris four years ago, for love, and the city has been constantly changing her life since then. Hers is a world of books, (Marguerite Duras, Simone de Beauvoir, Anne Berest), expos, long walks sur les quais de Seine, pink skies, fine wine and peonies. website email
