I hope all of you had an amazing weekend ringing in 2012! Boyfriend B and I went to our wonderful friend K's lakehouse where we celebrated the new year with her, her boyfriend and two other couples. I couldn't have asked for a better, cozy night at the lake. When we arrived K and I already had a roaring fire going. They're just the best.
Even though I have been posting about sequins and sparkly dresses, I realized I didn't have much of said items in my closet. I had one shirt in mind and then realized I forgot it at my apartment in Madison. That does not help me as I was not in Madison for NYE. Instead, I went with a shiny necklace. I thought it was the perfect alternative for what I had at home. What do you think?
I also curled my hair for the first time since I don't even know when. I had to majorly dust off a curling iron I found in my mom's bathroom drawer, and it was extremely thin. Apparently, thinner was the trick because my hair usually does not hold curls, but it did Saturday night. K curled it though because I am still clueless in the curling department. Spur of the moment resolution: learn how to curl my hair.
