..Happy New Year!

The deets: Banana Republic dress; ALDO pumps; Gigi New York clutch; Lancome "Midnight Rose" lipstick; bracelets c/o Prettymints.

I (like most of you little party animals) spent New Year's Eve getting prettied up to go spend the evening with my very best friends to ring in the new year the right way (with booze, cliche paper hats, live music, and a midnight kiss of course).  I was just not feeling full on sparkles this year so I opted for something more girly and fun to dance and twirl around in.  2012 was quite a trip, bring it on 2013!

P.S. racing my boyfriend home in these heels was probably the worst. idea. ever.  My ankle is pretty pissed off at me for making such a poor drunken decision.  I do not recommend it.

P.P.S. Look out for a chance to win the Prettymints bracelets like mine later in the week. All of her Swarovski pieces like the one shown can be customized by color and right now you can get 20% off all orders with code NEWYEAR20.

In case you haven't heard, Prettymints is a brand that believes that fashion shouldn't be unattainable (like me!).  No one knows better than I do that a fun statement piece can change up your simple look in an instant.  They team up directly with jewelry designers so they can offer their customers the latest trends at affordable prices, which is pretty awesome.
