Last night was a brilliant New Years for me. Probably because as usual the idea of staying in with Jools Holland, a homecooked meal and a bottle of wine was far more appealing, so that luckily when my friends wouldn't take no for an answer and I was persuaded to go out my expectations weren't actually that high. We ended up going to the genius if rather distastefully named Barrymore's Pool Party (fellow Brits will understand the reference to Michael Barrymore, a much loved but sadly disgraced figure in television..) which fortunately didn't involve bathing suits or any real pool party-ness but instead lots of enthusiastic dancing to Senorita by Justin Timberlake. Having everybody home from our first semesters at University there was a cosy sense of homecoming and it was lovely to catch up with everyone and hear about their 'new lives' in other cities. As I was feeling pretty laid back about going out I kept my outfit simple- a shirt which I bought in San Diego and haven't really worn since, with my green cord trousers, some chunky heels (which look remarkably similar to the type the cool girls used to wear at school) and my name hairband. As I get older the idea of really dressing up to go out isn't as appealing as it used to be-I think it's easier to have more fun when you feel fuss-free.
How did you all spend your New Years Eve? Would love to hear some brief descriptions. Here's to 2011!

Nights are the most fun when there's no hype.
Happy New Year darling! X
Sounds fun :D I went to my friends house and ate pizza and watched all the New Years specials then the Rose Parade shows that start at 1:30 in the morning, then I passes out before I got to see the parade :( now I'm back in my room with some pjs on
senorita is such a good song, my personal favourite for new years eve was ignition by r kelly.
sounds like fun! especially dancing to Senorita! love that song
Senorita is such a great song! My New Years was low-key but so much fun. My boyfriend and I went to Chinatown and had pho soup for dinner, then returned home to watch The Departed and drink beer and French champagne until midnight. On another note, I love that shirt
unplanned nights are always the best. my new years was a mellow affair at home with my extended family..dancing to early ska and listening to ini kamoze, i need a dollar by aloe blacc and my favourite; things in life by dennis brown. we also played our customary guess who picture quiz, homemade from magazines by my auntie. I won, 25 out of 30 (not bad considering i had had 4 large g&t's) x

I was in Venice with my family so I went to St Mark's Square with my sister. Spent most of the time dodging creepy Italian men (they have a tradition that you kiss the person nearest you at midnight...much too daring for us English pansies!), but they had great fireworks and free Bellinis so what's not to like?
