New Years Eve

New Years Eve this year was such a blast! As I mentioned in my previous entry I spent the day having an amazing brunch and at night I got ready for the evening with my roommate Alana and her old roommate Liz. I will show a picture of all of us later. First lets talk about me. So I have a love for the spectacle and New Years Eve is the perfect time to express that. Why be conservative? Start the new year out with a bang! Make the outfit and the night so much fun you have to spend a whole year trying to live up to the first night. I try to avoid the gay outfit for the night, which apparently was skinny boot-cut jeans with a button up and a vest. Literally every homo at the club I went to was wearing that. So being me I needed to do something different. I wore these great new boots I got at DSW with money I got from my mom for Christmas (thanks Mom, love you!!). They are black with silver buttons that have these great slouchy look to them. Get used to them, they will appear in plenty of future ensembles. Paired with the leather boots I wore shiny leather pants (thanks Alana for sewing the button back on them). Finishing off the look was this mat silver top that has this bit of shimmer to it I got at H&M with money I got from my Grandma for Christmas (thanks G Money!!). Take a look.

Fabulous right? Oh yeah, check out the bracelet I wore that night. I got at BCBG for way to much money.

Cute right? Better be for the $ I spent on it

Amazing right? It was my Christmas gift to myself. Moving on. So makeup. I did my usual but I bought a new lip stain from Sephora to use. It is that dark purple-red color from the pic of the whole outfit. It is Sephora brand and looked amazing. Because it was a stain it stayed on all night too. I am a huge fan of dark lips so that will probably be a running theme to my make up fyi.

Ugh red eyes

What's that? Those eyelashes are FABULOUS you say? Well thank you! If the movie Sucker Punch taught me anything it is always wear fake eyelashes. They were a theme with Alana, Liz, and I while getting ready and with Alana and I out dancing and having fun at Club Cafe. More eyelash pics.

Liz, Alana, and Myself

Alana's lovely gold lashes

So that is that! Went out, had a blast, drank a bunch, danced all night, don't remember coming home (other than not liking the cabby, I distinctly remember thinking he was a moron). Overall it was an amazing night!!

ps. got my hair cut! Here are some pics! Got it done at Rock Paper Scissors on Newbury Street. Jill cut it and I LOVE it so much.

pps. I am dedicating this post to my Aunt Tammy. We lost her a year ago today when she was only 39. I loved her so very very much and miss her dearly. I know she is in heaven having a big ass long island ice tea and that is just fabulous. Love you girl.

Love and miss you every day

NYE Day/Brunch

Ew so first and foremost sorry for the huge delay in posts. I got super caught up with work and the holidays and my roommates boxed set of Angel so I kept not posting. Well from here on out I pledge, it is a new years resolution of mine, to post every Tuesday and Thursday. I will try to make each post as fabulous as I am.

My first post in 2012 will be about this fabulous brunch I went to on NYE day. It was held at my roommates friends place and it was glorious. I will get into what I was wearing in a sec, but first let me tell you about this place. If you didn't already know I live in Boston and if you aren't familiar with Boston the harbor is beautiful. The brunch overlooked the harbor. People with condo's around there are super wealthy (thank you Andrew for having rich parents). Check out this glam display that was in the lobby.

Amazing right? I love me the sailor thing. So combine the thick robe, christmas ornaments, and a dry sea scape? I DIED. Literally. Died. Check this view out.

 

 

 

Love

Even foggy Boston Harbor is still beautiful

Right? How good is my life? While there my friends and I, 8 in total, would kill sooooooo many bottles of champagne.

I digress, let me get to the good part. My outfit. If you have short term memory loss I will remind you, I love the whole nautical thing. I know it is more of a summer look but IDGAF! I love it and I do what I want. So I was inspired by this incredible blazer I bought at H&M that is white with thing navy vertical pinstripes. Combine with red v-neck, pearls, jeans, and thigh high brown boots and BAM. You got one fierce bitch. Lemme show ya.

Ignore my hair in this pic kthx

Divine right? I felt/looked amazing. I got compliments on this ensemble everywhere I went. Totally made my day. By day I mean it made me feel like despite everything terrible that happened to me in 2011 (no details but some of it was real shitty) I made it through and I made it through with some style. Wurq. I love the necklace I have on, let me show it close up (will also show my nail color)

This pic taken after NYE, nails looked cuter then

 So the necklace I kind of made. I bought the pearls when I worked at Forever 21 for like $8. The sailboat I got when I worked at Juicy and it cost like $40. I don't have a charm bracelet (nor do I want one, I like them but they aren't my style) so I made it into a necklace and this became one of my absolute FAVS! Makeup next. So those were my nails. They are this amazing blue-green that reminds me of a tropical beach. I chose the color not so much for this outfit but to have nails that popped with my outfit for NYE. So now face, lemme give a close up.

Left: My gorgeous roommate Right: Gorgeous Me

So I used this awesome primer I got at Sephora through my Sephora points (I had like 400, figured might as well use some of them). It is called Korres mattifying primer. Then I did my usual, though went light on the bronzer for a lighter look. I was in a glimmer lip gloss but my roommate is super smart and had me put on her red lipstick and it just made everything WURQ. Ugh look at it on me? Not to be a vain bitch but damn I look pretty. And that is that muffins! Hope you like it! More glamour to come this year, on Thursday I will post pics of NYE!
