Happy New Year everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful time celebrating New Year's Eve last night; I had an amazing night myself eating good food and making more good memories with old and new friends during the final  hours of 2013. Before the party began, I managed to get in a gym workout (in preparation for the delicious food ahead), shop a little at the mall (too many LGs, too little clothing in my size left), and conduct a fun clothing swap with a good friend of mine. For the New Year's Eve party, I decided to wear this all-black ensemble of crochet lace and pleather; although I was afraid that I looked a bit goth, I've always loved the look of black and gold for fancier nighttime occasions.

I was happy to wear this lovely top that I was able to order here courtesy of Sammydress; this online boutique combines extreme affordability and trendy fashion to create a place of online shopping euphoria. I've wanted a lace top similar to this for quite a while; however, when I had the opportunity to procure it for free from Sammydress, I knew that it was meant to be! I love the pretty design of the crochet on top of the lace and the bell sleeves that give the piece a slightly boho-chic look. Overall, I am very happy with this product and recommend this site if you are a fashionista living on a student's budget.

What are some of your favourite holiday party season pieces?

 Wine and champagne: the perfect way to bring in the New Year (along with many other forms of alcohol not pictured here). 

 Just a small portion of the appies available that night. 

 More appies and delicious dishes.

We all suffered from extreme food coma by the end of night; in particular, I was sorely tempted by the Reese cup peanut butter cookies pictured above-- what a deadly combo!

I hope that all of my lovely readers enjoyed their night just as much as I did! Happy New Year and I wish that you all receive many blessings, much peace, joy, and love in 2014!
