New Years Eve.. In Photos!

New Years Eve was really fun! A group of us went to a benefit for a fellow alumni and friend of friends who is battling cancer. He's our age and has two adorable little girls. It's a sad situation and I feel very lucky to have been able to participate in such a good cause for New Years. :)  All the proceeds went to him and his family and I don't know about you, but I don't remember a single time I've done something GOOD with my money on New Years.

Anyway, it was a really good time! One guy said something about how great it was to be somewhere where everyone was in such a festive and great mood b/c they all know they're doing something good for someone... I have to agree with him that the tone of the party was pretty awesome.. :)

Met at a friend's condo beforehand...with some festive champagne jello shots thanks to Alove in town from LA! And yes, they are in a shoebox...haha...I mean, you wouldn't want want them to spill on the way there. Duh. :)
Every restaurant was annoyingly booked to the max...and we didn't wanna deal crowds anyway...so we ordered pizzas and salad, brought appetizers, wine, etc, and had a casual dinner at our friend's condo with a very cool chandelier. (see behind us).
Ended up going with the tights and some cute heeled bootie things b/c it was FUHREEZING outside!
My dress' sequins changed colors depending which way they were facing-gold or black. Eric was demonstrating. Photo result= hilarious and slightly inappropriate...haha...whatever....We're all friends here.
 The tables had props. We liked them, especially the glasses. Obviously.







 He loves me...haha... :)




This photo really amuses me for some reason.... Mostly b/c I have no idea what was going on....
 HAPPY 2011!!!
 Get it? 2011? We're creative. That's how we roll.

I think the tights were a smart option--it was freezing that night! You guys looked adorable and what a great cause. That would definitely make ringing in the new year that much sweeter. :)
