My main Bish, Amy (the babe who looks like Wilma Flintstone), decided to throw a little tree trimming party for just us heifers (before you get all butt-hurt, these are terms of endearment). I gotta be honest...I almost didn't go. If you've been keeping up with me then you know I suffer from chronic head/spine aches that come and go as they so choose, and can last anywhere from a few moments to a few hours....to a few days. Plus, in light of current events (watch the news)....being in a funk is an understatement, and on this particular day I was not only in a bit of a funk, but my head was throbbing something wicked.

However, I decided to try and turn my frown upside-down, spend some time away from my own thoughts, and try and get into the holiday spirit. So I got as cute as this horrendously cold weather would permit, popped on my new matte lip cream from NYX (in the color Prague) and made my way to trim a tree and indulge in some homemade chocolate chip cookies and a home-cooked meal with people that I care about.

I decided to steer clear of the typical holiday color palette but I stuck with the holiday shine. I went with my dual purpose (warm & chic) light grey sequin-mustache sweatshirt and a fuchsia collared top as my pop of color, together with some black skinnies and a biker boot...I was ready to go.

This year has been a roller coaster of emotions and events, so many things took place in my life and the lives of the people in my life that I'm kinda glad that this year is coming to an end. Doors have been opened though and new chapters are set to begin, I can only hope that the new year will manifest many great things for myself and the people I hold so dear to me...lord knows we've all worked so hard to achieve greatness. As for me specifically, quite a few things have been set into motion, things I can't wait to share with all of you! 2015 shall be insane to say the least, y'all ain't ready.

So Beck of Manfattan.com, and I, decided to have a "dinner date". I remember meeting her a few months ago during a NYC Shop & Swap that I covered and posted on my blog a few posts back, and I remember thinking how laid back and slightly crazy she seemed. ( Crazy in a good way... relatable crazy)

Rewind to a couple weeks back.

She contacted me via email for business purposes and we mutually agreed to have a sit down.

Fast forward.

"Date Night" Lol. I had it in my mind that I wanted to dress slightly edgy and preppy, so that's what I did. I love that preppy look sometimes, I guess it's the sweater over a button down that gets me so excited, or the "Bill Cosby Vibe" that intrigues me from time to time.

Style note: Whether the sweater makes it's statement in print, cut, embellishments, or shine; a statement sweater is an essential in a girls wardrobe.

Fast forward to the sit down.

We ended up eating at one of my favorite Thai food restaurants and the conversation just flowed, it was nice to be able to sit down with a fellow blogger, (who has a big enough following to where they may get a big head about it), and actually have nice and normal conversation. She was humble, a trait I look for when associating myself with anyone, and when I found out she was an Aries ...well, well, well.

Honestly it was nice to meet someone who has the potential of being someone that you'd like to associate yourself with, on a friendly level, for more than just one meeting... people aren't the easiest to get along with.

-Cheers to not having a socially awkward time.-

TIME FOR THE PHOTO OP!!!
