Last of '07 - Manolo, Swap, New Years Eve

I meant to make a post last night - because once a New year Starts I like to push the past behind me and move forward and try to be a little more optimistic.
I really ended 2007 with a bang. I had a wonderful time at my swap and I thought it went well - I even managed to cover all my expenses from the last 3 months, but there are always those couple of people who are never happy. The positive part of this is that I discovered how to delete people from my meetup group.

Here are a couple of pictures from the swap. It was held at The Breathing Project Yoga Studio in NYC.

My Dress is XOXO and I got it for $4.00 at Salvation Army. I wore it with my Vintage Taupe Boots from EBay.









Last Night I was not feeling 100%, but I refused to be home on new years eve again! (I was sick last year and fell asleep before midnight) So I got dressed up and went to a couple of parties with my friend Liz. The night was just the right amount of fun.
I got my shoes at a $5 shoe store and they didn't even hurt me until the very end of the night. I was impressed. Considering that they are still intact I do plan on wearing them again.



Skirt -$2 at a Street sale in Willamsburg over the Summer (The girl recommended I wear the skirt for New Years Eve so I have been saving it)
Bustier - Salvation Army - $2.00 That I got back in August
Tights -$1.99 @ Conways
Shoes -$5

I leave you with my find of 2007. I got them last Wednesday at Salvation Army.




Manolo Blahnik Booties for $13.99
And they weren't even half off
and they are my size.
I love New York

Happy New Year!

On Saturday I went to the Housing Works Warehouse Sale - it was a mob scene! But I did come away with 3 bags of clothes - tucked in there: 3 Diane Von Furstenberg dresses (2 I am keeping) and a Missoni skirt and shirt. Congratulate me - I didn't get 1 purse!

It was pretty cold, so I layered. Good thing to, as soon as i got in there and started digging for goodies - the layers came off.

Beren and my sister and I all went out to Burger 67 to have Bosco (chocolate soda), curly fries and burgers! Burgers are my new obsession, but they have to be amazing. Good thing Bosco is hard to find otherwise I'd gain 20lbs from it!
