What I Wore: NYE 2010

This was my New Year’s Eve/Birthday outfit.

  • Sequin tank – Christmas gift from Chad’s Mom, Winners
  • Skirt – H&M, Winter 2008
  • Belt -Winners
  • Med Fishnet stockings, Click Clack
  • Platform Mary Janes aka favourite shoes ever, Demonia (got them on ebay for $25)
  • Crystal bracelets, Le Chateau, circa 2002
  • Crystal earrings, gift from my best friend Raija

I wanted to do something a little different for makeup so I went online to check out Kandee the Makeup Artist’s site for a tutorial, and based it on her New Years Glam Look. She is cute as a button and I recommend checking our her tutorials.

Two Days Before…

Harley is an excellent climber.  He plays with the squirrels and they’ve taught him a thing or two about climbing.  I was on the phone with my friend Julie when I looked out my back door to see Harley scrambling up the tree.  He was up as far as the power lines when I went to get my camera and was a bit lower when I came back.  I told him to get down, because he ripped a claw out already this summer climbing trees and it cost over $200 at the vet to get it looked at and fixed up.

This is his hiding place.

I was sewing up a storm before Chad left.  We got him new pants and they needed to be hemmed.  A lovely shot of my work station with a Bud Light Lime for an assistant.  This is definitely my new summer drink.  I love it and am telling everyone I know to drink it, which is converting a ton of people.  Send me some Bud Light Lime!

Adam is fixing his phone.  He threw it and pieces came off, but luckily we found them all.

Chad loves it when I tell him to look cause I’m taking a picture.

And now photos of my outfit.  Chad is trying to get me to pose and I’m such a non-poser.  Need to watch some ANTM and get my poses down.

This is the “don’t look at me” so I’m not.  I love this shot cause Harley’s in it.  I want to cut him out and put him in all my photos.  He’s like the Barbie cat, you know what I mean.

And then zipped up.  Oh I know, I’m a star.  I totally win the posing challenge.  Ha!

  • Belt – Urban Planet ($3!)
  • Tights – silks – free from SO
  • Knee socks – Giant Tiger ($3)

  • Glasses by Jill Sanders

Chad with his newly hemmed jeans.  Now here’s the “where’s the beach” pose.

And then Harley had to pose.  Here he is after chasing his tail on top of the toilet seat.  Holding on for dear life.
