My friends' original plan - the fancy Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel in NYC - didn't end up working out so well this year. While we didn't have a table reservation, last year, my friends were able to get in as long as they showed up early. This year, the bar wouldn't allow it, which we didn't discover until we showed up :(.
... Somehow, a couple of hours later, we found ourselves at an exclusive NYC club in Chelsea - No. 8 (formerly Bungalow 8, if you remember from Sex and the City!), seated at a table with bottle service on the 2nd floor, overlooking the main floor.
Like, what!? ... Okay, it wasn't quite "somehow" - I know my friend Louis must have pulled SO many strings to get us in!
Our table overlooked this area. It was so much fun!
I wish I got a photo documenting of my full outfit. I wore a sparkly silver jacket with scallops down the front edges (thrifted), Club Monaco faux leather leggings (best pants ever), and a simple black tee. Plus these sweet black Steven almost-wedge heeled booties (adorable but hurt my feet by the end of the night :( ...).

Most of the photos of the night were... blurry. :) Here I am documenting my love for SHAKE IT OFF (YAY TAYLOR SWIFT!).
Today, as I nursed myself back to health, I tried to reflect a bit on 2014 - and resolutions for 2015.
Each year, I seem to make the SAME resolutions - and this year is no different: Read more, lotion more, stretch and exercise more, take care of my face, save & invest more, buy less / focus on quality. And figure out my job/career...
One thing that I'm proud of/excited about: skiing for the first time in December!! Nick and I finally took a ski trip this year (after years of saying we would do it but never did...), traveling to Killington, VT. Nick wanted to teach me at first, but thank goodness we went with the adult first-timer lessons offered by the mountain. Nick was helpful though -- he kept saying to me, It's all about conquering your fears; part of skiing is physical but part of it is mental.

Hopefully, I can "conquer more fears" in 2015. I want 2015 to kick ass!
AND... more posts to come!
Sounds like you had a blast! I haven't been snowboarding in too long and I miss it so much!!
