Yes, this sums up my beautiful New Years Eve celebrations.
I had a delish NYE dinner with a gorgeous friend and then we headed to the movies to see Les Miserables.
It's three times as fabulous as everyone says it is.
Go see it. Now.
Happiest of happy new years cheer to my friends - new and old. Here's to an even bigger and better 2013 full of love, laughter and lots of colour.
