Normally we stay home and celebrate when NYC hits midnight but Husband and I enjoyed our first NYE out in quite a few years. We felt bad leaving The Boy home but he was actually online with some of his school friends at midnight playing PS3.

Here’s what I wore for New Year’s Eve.

All J Crew
Belt: Glimmer Sash in Heirloom Pink
New Lip Gloss: Chanel Dragon Rouge Allure Laque

I have been wanting a red lipstick for a while so last week when Husband was shopping I walked over to the Chanel counter to see what they had. (Told you I only wandered away once.) It is really red but not orange-y or pink-y. I love it. I put it on lightly, if that can even been done, let it dry a little and then added another layer and blotted. Husband really noticed it but since my usual lip color matches my lips he would have noticed anything darker than that.

Have a great evening! Back to work for me tomorrow.

There were several things I purchased this year I really liked and enjoyed wearing (all J Crew pencil skirts) but my most favorite purchase was the J Crew Bisbee Satchel in Summer Hyacinth.

I have used it daily since I bought it. I changed it out at the beginning of December for the J Crew Campo bag I have and the Buena Notte bag but will be back to the Bisbee again this week. I have brought the CPW down to $1 a day, just through November. It transitioned well into Spring, Summer and Fall and is just a great bag.

I love it and it was my most favorite purchase all year.
