Happy New Year!

Hooray! 2012 is finally upon us, the world has not ended and the internet is still kickin'. I hope everyone had a great New Year Celebration. Mine was very quiet in the comfort of my own home :) All I wanted on New Year's Day was to wake up in my own bed without a hangover; mission accomplished! I was also blessed with a gorgeous day in sunny Los Angeles, ringing in the New Year with 75 degrees! I do not normally make new year resolutions, but this year I have quite a few "goals" I would like to accomplish. My goals are not much different than probably many of yours, exercise more, eat less, travel more, stress less, make a career change, find a new apartment, refinance my car, you know, the regular stuff. My top priority in 2012 however is to blog more!! I would like to be able to consistently post three times per week and perhaps daily by the end of the year!

I wanted to kick off the New Year with one of my new favorite vintage pieces. I found this great silk blouse (shoulder pads and all) a couple weeks ago. I am very into prints lately and I adore feathers, so it was a must buy! I feel so Bob Dylan in these shades too :D This look totaled up to $27.95
