2012 has been very good to me, it has seen new opportunities, travels, new projects, success, achievement and even failure. It has given me new friendships and a deep sense of appreciation for true friends who have been by my side through thick and thin. Most of all 2012 saw the start of this blog with 2 very special people who I am very blessed to call friends, even though they've become so much more.

As we welcome a new year, this post being the first of many more to come in 2013, I thought it would be fitting to post my outfit from what has to be one of my favourite events of the year. A few of my friends and I take it upon ourselves to cook for 30 of our closest friends and celebrate another year of friendship and memories as well as Christmas time and the start of a new year.

Below is a sneak peek of the outfit I put together, including my favourite purchase of the year, a pair of boots which I picked up on a recent trip to Milan. If you know me, you know that I'm what can be described as most definitely allergic to any form of shoe with a heel, so this purchase was a first for me! They're the perfect pair of shoes, be it paired with a casual dress, more formal attire for work or just a plain pair of jeans! Best of all, total bargain!

Love,
