年年更有余

The man slyly stated that we ought to follow certain Chinese New Year traditions.

I was most suspicious. He barely speaks the language.

He declared that we should have fish to signify abundance for the lunar year of the Ox.

Ha! Indeed. Like rounding up the FaerieFolk for a sushi and sashimi dinner at Tatsuya.

I suppose everyone's in a festive mood. Everyone was beautifully dressed and all excited to sit down to a fantabulous dinner. Well, we largely shop online. So there were breathtakingly splendid jewel colors from Cynthia Vincent, Jovovich-Hawk, Alice+Olivia, Graham & Spencer; boho chic from Leave of Grass and Erdem. So yes, I fingered the fabrics and drooled all over the girlfriends. ;p

Some dresses are reserved for special occasions. I finally mustered up enough courage to wear this Hervé Léger bandage dress that I never dared to wear because it was so unforgiving. What the hell, curves are in.

The horde of us filled up the sushi counter and yabbered away.

I'm almost embarrassed to say, but we ate so little for lunch in order to have stomach space for dinner. We had a lot more sushi than what is shown here. Even though I didn't use any flash, I didn't dare to take that many photos!
