G & I wanted to do something different this year, we've done the clubbing thing and frankly we're just over it, I'm almost 30! I also wasn't looking forward to driving anywhere near DC, the amount of drunkies on the road is unsafe! I was ecstatic the moment I received an invite from Rachel, my awesome buddy (also my weddings MUA!!), for NYE. I couldn't say no to her invite, hadn't seen her since her baby shower (about a whole year!)!
My issues with NYE prep:
- I got home a little late from work and didn't have much time to get ready, so excuse my application sloppiness.
- I didn't get a chance to pull in the dress at the bust line so you'll find it doesn't look quite right.
- I should've worn nude pantyhose, the dark was totally wrong!
- Should've stretched the shoes a second time, the first time around didn't cut it! Thank goodness I was able to take the shoes off at the party.
- Now I wasn't joking when I said this would be pic heavy, if this isn't your cup of tea, then don't read any further :P
- Running late as always, but I found time to take a few pics (doesn't help hubby is so much taller than me, I look sooo tiny)

When Rachel's husband brought out the YSL's, I think the room went silent for at least 5 seconds! I had to take shots of her HOT shoes!!!
Here we find Elyse and I taking pics of each other with our Nikons, love!

love your outfits and make up! you look gorgeous girl :D xx
well i have combo skin so some days im oily some days im super dry..im a freak lol it does give the dewy look but i used the hd powder so kinda give it more of a matte finish if that makes any sense (see every mua believes certain products work differently now its on you how you want to make something work...you should definitely try it at a counter before you buy) anyways the mac well it doesnt shimmer like my revlon thats why i used it. and honestly i dont even know what color its in my mua just looks at me and goes "here you go this is your color" and i say ok i trust her(but i believe its NC30). Now for the oily part...this one is tricky since i went to work and i work at a restaurant so im sweating (woman dont sweat they glisten so scratch the sweating part =]) picking up and delivering food to tables my face got oily...so that wouldNT be fair if i said right after 5 hours...i would have to use it when im not working. which should hopefully maybe be tomorrow so i can give it a whole day and see how it holds up i should have put that on my review lol
The shoes are hot!

@ April - Yes, her outfit was slammin!
@ Kate Gene - I never asked for permission, uh oh! George is super shy, these are ALL the shots of him, lol. We prolly are one of the oldest bloggers out there, pahahaha. BTW - we went through tons of bottles of it...I honestly stopped counting the glasses! I also took a shot of Grand Marnier at the end of the night, I was DONE =/
@ Hollywood - Thank you! I know, I was speechless when I saw them!
@ The Beautifier - You are soooo sweet, thank you!!! The shoes are pretty hot, shame I'm already married, lol. I kid, I kid!
@ Miss P - Thanks :D - I was very lucky to be at a house party, I could take off the shoes practically the whole night :) In order for me to get pics of George, they need to be candids, it's rare I get a good pic of him looking @ the camera.
@ Rai - It was on sale for $449 recently (right after Xmas, not so sure about now). It's a great investment (esp for me, I hope and pray someday I'll have kids to take pics of).
