The New 2010.

Want to know what I did for New Year's Eve? Well, to narrow down the obvious activities... no, I didn't count down to midnight with friends like I normally do, and no, I didn't need advil or aspirin the next day. Instead, I decided to tag along with my parents and go to a party that consisted of endless chatter regarding taxes and hyper childern bouncing off the walls from too much Mountain Dew. Needless to say, I ditched as soon as I got free dibs at the buffett table and went home. However, my warerobe choice was a little...eccentric.

I decided to put my Avatar 3-D glasses to good use by getting rid of the frames and sticking tape in the middle. Perfect temporary joke glasses. Wore with a Forever 21 lace top, Urban Outfitters vest, YNQ jeans and my festive, long holidays socks to ring in the season. Completely hilarious? My mother thought so, too. As for my dad and attendees of the shindig (rocket scientists and the like), it seemed to be a little mocking to their warerobe. Their faces were...a little uncertain as to whether or not the dress-up was just for fun or if my regular warerobe (glasses included) were for real and my aspiration was to become America's next top nerd.

In waiting for my trench coat, I decided to do a little browsing on New Year's Day and took advantage of the best best deals of the year. I got a Cole Haan clutch and a Tommy Hilfiger cardigan for major discounts!

Aussi, looming around the house and discovering completely vintage (meaning, maybe twenty years) technology is a definite benefit. Check out the radio's channel screen and needle! And the walkman (which one of my friends is completely oblivious to its existence)! They may look rather junky, but I somehow miss their presence in modern times. They look beyond cool and eclectic!

Here's to the new year, with new surprises, gifts, and blast-from-the-past discoveries!
