NYE Preparations
Hi, guys!
I need to make this post FAST because we have friends coming over in about 15 minutes for a little pre-party before the main New Year’s Eve event later tonight. I’m not even close to ready! Gah!
[rewind to this afternoon]
Before leaving for my hair appointment this afternoon, I munched on a Soy Joy bar. I’m not sure about these bars– the texture and flavor are a sort of strange. Oh well. It warded off my hunger for a few hours.

Remember when I went to the RUNWAY Gala back in October? Well, the goodie bags from the event included a $50 off coupon for a Newbury Street salon. It was definitely a keeper, so I held onto it until I needed a haircut, which was today!

Pini Swissa was a trendy little salon. So trendy, in fact, there wasn’t even a sign outside– just the street number.

I loved the funky, modern decor inside– totally my style.





My stylist, Christina, gave me a great cut. She trimmed-up my layers and “texturized” my bangs to help them blend in better to the rest of my hair. (I’m growing my bangs out.) I’ll be sure to post photos of my new do tonight.
After my haircut, I stopped at Banana Republic. (I know. I have issues.
)

I stumbled upon these “cement gray” beauties. Happy New Year to me!

When I got home from shopping, I had worked up quite an appetite, so I immediately made myself a snack: a Rogue valley pear + raisin-walnut bread. I actually ended up eating 2 pieces of bread– the second one just went undocumented.

Check out the scene in downtown Boston before I headed home. The city is getting ready for its First Night celebrations.





I’m not going to lie, I’m happy that I won’t be involved in the First Night madness tonight. I’ve got my own shenanigans planned!
Happy New Year!!!!!

I have a Banana problem as well. Although, the day after Christmas they had 50% off sale pieces, it was like Christmas all over!

Those crowd pictures almost gave me a panic attack. I’m glad you’re not going out in them. Can’t wait to see your new hair!

Thanks for a virtual tour of Boston on New Years!! Looks like you had a great day, can’t wait to see the hair. I am in the desperate need of a trim and “texturizing.” That salon looks like a great oasis! I love Newbury Street! Ran Boston Marathon in ‘05…..need to get back out that way some day soon.

LOVE your blog, Happy New Year!! I love the funky decor, too…totally my style! Looking forward to reading more in 2010!

THOSE BOOTS ARE DIVINE. If I wasn’t half midget I would get them.
I actually like the soy joy bars even though it feels like I’m eating cork!
on Jan 1st, 2010 at 1:09 pm
I agree with you about the soy joy bars…they are okay but the texture is kind of funny! They aren’t my first choice but I can definitely munch on them when I am in need of something quick and fast.
on Jan 1st, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Hope you had a great night! I have to agree – NOT a fan of the Soy Joys!
on Jan 1st, 2010 at 2:35 pm
happy new years!!! i actually HATE soyjoy bars – the flavor and textures are so odd in my opnion.. and i am soooo not picky – i love literally all larabars and clif and luna etc. but soyjoy nope
cant wait to see your new haircut!! those boots are so chic i love them!

Happy New Year – love all the photos, especially the swanky salon – looks fab!
