new years eve ...rockin' it.

although my expression is quite silly here... i am trying to capture the sleeve of this dress because the lace detail is spectacular.. as soon as i found this dress it reminded me of a similar number i once had my hands on at jenny packham from her rtw08 collection... i love how the lace makes up the entire arm's length and expanding to the neckline... my dress looks like a black strapless number except for the entire top layer of black lace from wrist to neck to hemline... it cost me $22 in alterations to tailor the lace to my shoulder height but honestly, i found it at a thrift store for $5 ...true story. i literally saw it, tried it and the potential was only a seamstress away... i was like, "i HAVE to have this dress!" ...you never know what you're going to find at your local salvation army




new orleans was our destination in ringing in the new year and what a show it was! surrounded by fantastic people and inspiration... we had a good 'ole time.... devyn got her volume on which is a must when you are about to hit the town... the white feather boa was just for fun but added that little extra something she needed to complete her fit.

katie had this rockin' hair style that h.griffis so kindly helped her pull together... she kept relating it to rihanna and i have to say it's pretty darn close... katie was in fashionista heaven with her new purple suede heels and up do... mmmm mmmm she looked quite fly.




love love love laura's blue little dress and layered chain necklaces... i love necklaces in layers because to me one is just so boring.. it was rather chilly on this eve so she paired this dress with black tights and black flat ankle boots and black blazer.. super cute and she was ready to party in comfort and style



heather picked up this flowered headpiece at urban on the day of nye and literally all weekend people complimented it... adorable but i have to say i think it just added to her hot little hair cut.. fab.

my black feather and veil headdress was once on a band and broke so i just clipped it into the front of my hair and wha-la headpiece... although a couple of folks did ask me if i was attending a funeral haha i think i was just in the spirit of the dark and soulful blues
