Welcome 2012!!

I don’t know about you, but bloody hell I find NYE overrated.

Last year we were at an event at the AMC Theatre in New York City so that was obviously awesome, but I cant even remember what I did the last couple of years.

This year we went to Liz’s house with Jo & Trev for a Dinner Party, which is far better than going out and getting drunk and vomiting your way through the count down.. not that I speak from personal experience of course!!

It was frigging hot and I had nothing to wear so I popped down to Sportsgirl at Southland, basked in the air conditioned coolness for a while, and bought the Olympia Curve Hem Maxi, 2 cuffs and a pair of earrings. This post is not sponsored by Sportsgirl but it might as well be!!

I never find anything that I like/love in Sportsgirl as I find it too boho and on trend for my likings, but I was pretty pleased with my finds, especially as the cuffs were only $6 each!!

How gorgeous are the place settings? Job well done, Liz!

Far out I love me some Brie on Savoys.

We roped Henry in for a faux family portrait. He looks pretty concerned.

For entrée we had Lobster Bisque which was so frigging amazing. Just delicious. I keep thinking about it!!!

How cute is this kid?

Now, for the serious stuff. My hair.

I achieved my awesome curlyness by going in the pool and letting it dry naturally. That’s all I have for you. After I was my hair and let it dry naturally it is pretty insane though, but I still like it.

As you can see, my dirty white havianas were worn for the occasion. If The Husband can wear his Lakers jersey, I can wear my thongs.

I didn’t make a New Years Resolution this year as I don’t believe in them and often think that they set people up to fail. I don't really have anything that I want to change either.

Instead, I’m going to live life to the fullest and just enjoy it.

Happy New Year to all of my amazing readers!!! How did you celebrate?? What is your best NYE memory EVER?

Bridesmaid Dress

Jo is down from Ngukurr and had never tried on her bridesmaide dress before, so today was the day.

I bought 2 bridesmaid dresses in New York City but only one is being put to use.

It fits! Hurrah!! Need to have it taken up about 1mtr though!

Cats dress is in the process of being made in Ireland, it's a Dessy dress and Liz's dress is being currently made here in Melbourne by Imoda.

They will all be the same colour, fabric and length but with different necklines to suit each of their different bodies.

Statement

I am currently on the hunt for the perfect statement necklace to wear with my 'Reception Dress'.

I have been killing Merowyn from Blithely Unaware by asking her opinion on hundreds of said statement necklaces.

We think we have narrowed it down to two.

They are both Very Wang.

La di Da.

Whilst on the topic of necklaces, I got this bad boy in New York City at Lord & Taylor.

Shortly after paying for it, my credit card declined on another small purchase which lead me to thinking I had maxed it out, and not shopping any more.

Turn out I had not maxed it out. It must have been a terminal fault.

Dammit.

I'm really squeezed into the above dress. I don't know why I still have it, my bust does not fit any more. I just wanted to show the necklace with something white and strapless, like my reception dress.

It has sentimental value though, I was wearing it the night I met S.

I also had on a blue necklace and pink sparkly Steve Madden heels.
