According to some poll somewhere, the most common resolutions made by resolution-makers included drinking less alcohol, managing debt, and eating healthier.
We know - lame.
That’s why the District L darlings resolved something far more compelling: Be more fabulous.
Over a champagne-infused Sunday brunch at The Tangled Vine, we dissected such a goal. Of course, any effort towards awe-advancement would start with wardrobe expansion. Wearing the equestrian-space-pants I had picked up at the Oak sale the day prior, I had already gotten a head start on achieving our Fashion Nirvana objective.
But one cannot be fabulous on fashion alone. Sadly, there are many quasi-chic-looking individuals who lead conventional lives otherwise. With that thought, we ordered another round of champagne. Three flutes later, step three became more obvious: To be more fabulous, one must preserve their energy for more fabulous things. $22 cab ride? Check.
Three Ninth Street espressos, two White Noise G&Ts, one Jefferies visit, and one Lois Eastlund jumper later, and it was time to take a break from being fabulous. I mean, 2011 had only just begun – we wouldn’t want to burn out!
Heading back to the apartment, I decided to pick up a few grocery items at Duane Reade before retiring the weekend of fabulousness. After spending 15 careful minutes comparing the insane prices of canned pesto, I became exasperated and left. Christ, I wasn’t that hungry.
