New Years Eve

New Years Eve was spent with a small, quiet evening with good friends, champy, and those lil' poppers that shoot streamers. The guest list? Really just us and Frankie and her husband. Nothing crazy to report, but let's first start with my OOTD from that evening.

OOTD: NYE

Details:
Nightie: Betsey Johnson
Bra: Evans
Skirt + Leggings: Macy's
Cardigan: Mode Plus
Necklaces: Tarina Tarantino
Head Scarf: Domino Dollhouse
Slippers: Steve Madden

I would apologize for the slippers vs real shoes, but really: they are fabulous. Anyways, I have been know to center Halloween costumes around the idea of wearing slippers out in public, so it's really not that different to don them at home.

It was really a nice way to close out the year. No drama and safely tucked in our home, with good people. Hope you all had just as good of a time and to end: here are some more shots of the evening.

Goals for 2011

Photobucket

Last year, I focused on finding our first home and starting my online plus size boutique. Mission Accomplished! These are such HUGE steps in my life that I was unsure where to go from there. This year will mark my last in my 20's, so I'm sure it will be a big year. After taking a Women and Aging class in college (my 19 year old self and mostly over 40 year old ladies), I realized early that getting older is NOT a bad thing. As with any new stage in life, there are good and bad things...so I'm not particularly freaking out about it. That being said, I would still like to make this 29th year a big celebration of youth, coupled with my more adult-y tendencies.

For serious or silly, here are my goals for 2011!

Photobucket

* Paint All of the Interior of Our House - The remaining brown walls make me cringe. Before the end of this year, I WILL vanquish that awful color.
* Make 80% of Domino Dollhouse stock My Own Designs - This is already underway, but on a very small scale...I hope to no longer be at the hands of the sad Plus Size wholesale companies anymore!
* Plant a Veggie Garden - Okay, so a very select garden, but I want fresh basil and tomatoes at the ready.

* Purchase a Rainbow Quartz Ring
* Take a Tribal Fusion Belly Dance Class
* Go on a Honeymoon - A real one. And preferably out of the country.
* Buy a pair of COMFY black docs - I know ya'll gotta be sick of those Pewter ones all the time
* Create a Domino Dollhouse lookbook
* Do OOTDs Several Times a Week - and get more of my "daily" wear, not just going out ensembles

New Years Resolution: Everything's More Fun with Cute

After the year bumps up a digit, most start thinking about re-organizing their life and changing their behaviors. As a visual person, I thought it'd be best to make inspiration boards about what I'd like my living space and style to look like. It's easier to keep focused with a clear plan. Using polyvore, it's easy to remove what doesn't end up working and add anything new that inspires you along the way.

I'm also starting with a fabulous planner and pen to inspire more task organization and consistancy.
