NYE ... Bill NYE

So hey, it's 2010! How crazy. I had a fantastic New Year's Eve celebration with my friends Millie and Glen. We went to not one, but two, restaurants for dinner. First we went to Spring Rolls which is a great Thai restaurant in Toronto because I was STARVING and there was no wait to get in. Then we went to our one true love, the REAL destination for the night - Red Lobster. There was a 45 minute wait and the place was packed but it was so worth it. Crab cakes and berry sangria, so perfect. And the biscuits. I need not forget the biscuits. I actually went to the Lob last year on NYE too ... perhaps this is a new tradition.

Afterwards we went to a dance party done by one of my favourite DJ groups. They play only music from the 60's - Motown, rock, pop, everything. The best to dance to! It was packed and there was a line to get in but we managed to get inside before the countdown. I was so happy counting down to the New Year. Listening to good music and surrounded by good friends, it was wonderful. Afterwards we ended up chatting with some strangers, as I so often do, and went to a house party. Those are the best nights I think, when you can't say at the beginning where you'll end up, but you like where you end up anyway.

I ended up back at Millie's, terrified to be greeted by RPattz (see bottom ...), watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off and was snoozing by about 5 a.m. The next day, the FIRST FULL DAY OF THIS DECADE, Millie and I had an amazing brunch at Sunset Grill and then watched Austin Powers 2. Quite a successful afternoon, I'd say.

Hm, I never really go into detail about what I do and where I go ... this is a bit of a first! I hope I didn't bore you all.




I really loved my outfit. I was gold and glistening! Matte sequin dress - H&M, gold glitter cardigan - Suzy Shier, gold and sheer black zig-zag tights - Ellen Tracy, vintage coat and necklace.



Millie gave me the Lula as a gift. Copies of Lula really are so precious. To me they're practically coffee table books. The shoes are what I wore on NYE. I desperately need to take them to a cobbler. They have been ravaged from coming with me on too many wild excursions ...



Sequin detail. I like this dress because the sequins are matte. They add that bit of sparkle but they're also really subdued.


Well, I will close this post with this awkward and severely unflattering photo of me and a cardboard cut-out of Robert Pattinson. Happy New Year everyone! I hope your celebrations were exciting, adventurous (but also safe), and full of hints of what the year ahead holds.
