HELLO FRIENDS. HAPPY 2017! I WISH SINCERELY THAT THIS IS A WONDERFUL YEAR FOR YOU AND YOURS.
MY NYE WAS BITTERSWEET, A QUIET EVENING WITH HUBBY AND FRIENDS; WHICH IS ALWAYS A RECIPE FOR THE BEST WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR – BUT BITTER LOSSES, TOO – I WILL KEEP THOSE TO MY MYSELF AND GIVE THEM THE QUIET MOURNING THEY DESERVE.
PERSONAL LOSS? I THINK MANY OF US DID SEE SOME. BUT LET US DWELL ON THE HAPPY AND CELEBRATORY, AND THE KINDNESS THAT I EXPERIENCE EACH AND EVERY DAY IN THIS STRANGE, BUT WONDERFUL CITY.
DELICIOUS FOOD AND BUBBLY WAS SERVED GRACIOUSLY AT DOCKS.
OF COURSE, ME BEING ME, THIS SHOT SHOWS DELISH SUSHI ALONG WITH A STATEMENT RING FROM MY FAVORITE LOCAL JEWELERS . TRULY, I ENJOY JEWELRY MORE THAN FOOD, AS OFTEN AS NOT, AND THAT IS A BIT WEIRD, BUT I AM WHAT I AM.
HUBBY GOT SOME SHOTS AT WE LEFT FOR THE RESTAURANT. I AM WEARING A MATTHEW WILLIAMSON DRESS IN BLACK, WITH PUFFED SLEEVES AND SHOULDER PADS, YES, THEY ARE BACK! I LOVE THE SEAMS AT THE WAIST TO GIVE THIS SHIFT SOME SHAPE AND THE LOVELY ROWS OF SILVER SEQUINS AT THE END OF THE ELBOW LENGTH SLEEVES.
IN THE QUIET LOBBY THIS SHOT SHOWS THE DETAILS WELL; THE CHANEL FINGERLESS GLOVES AND DRESS VIA DESIGNER REVIVAL BY A FAVORITE DESIGNER MATTHEW WILLIAMSON . THE STATEMENT RINGS FROM KCSIGNATURES . I MADE THE SAPPHIRE NECKLACE EONS AGO.
HAIR AND MAKE UP WAS DONE BY SHELLEY AT KERATINBAR . MY CROCODILE BAG IS VERSACE, VIA TATIANA RESALE/ 1ST DIBS. MY SWEET HUBBY TOOK THESE PHOTOS!
MY COAT, GLOVES, RING AND BAG TOSSED “THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA” STYLE.
AN OUTDOOR SHOT TAKEN AFTER DINNER. THAT’S ME IN THE CORNER…
I WILL CLOSE WITH A EDITED SHOT OF THE FESTIVE BALLOONS FROM DINNER! WHY NOT? I WISH YOU PEACE AND GOOD CHEER, HAPPINESS AND HEALTH FOR THIS STRANGE NEW YEAR!
