Anthropologie Birthday Loot

So since my birthday was July 1st, I finally got to use my Anthropologie 15% off birthday discount this weekend. There really weren't any 'new' items that were calling out to me (at least not ones that didn't cost above $100) but I did score some cute sale items.

High Gloss Belt (sold out online) - super cute color!

Amethyst Stalactite Necklace - I've been looking for one of these!

Lundin Links Sweater - I almost bought this in another color too (I still may) but it is so adorable and this color is divine. It feels very 1950's to me which I love.

White Trash Birthday Bash

On Sunday, we celebrated my mine and my Moms birthdays. (Mine is July 1st and hers is July 4th.) We always have a theme party and this year was a White Trash Birthday Bash. We thought this tied in nicely with the Fourth of July and the costumes would be relatively easy to come up with in a pinch. I set up my photobooth backdrop as usual and we took some silly pictures.....

Her first tattoo. Ha!

Me, Syd & Debbie

Debbie says I look like 'Rosie the Riveter' here!

We are badass.

I love USA.

Syd trying to blow out the trick candles. She was hilarious!

Me & my Moma
I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!!!

Happy Birthday to.....

I just want to send out a very Happy Birthday to my dear friend, Debbie at Dark Horse. We have known each other for about 16 years now and I feel very lucky to have her as part of my life. Happy Birthday Debbie!!

Now on to the embarrassing pictures!
As you can see we weren't always stylish ladies....

I think this one was in 1997 and yes, Debbie is wearing overalls. Go make fun of her now! :)

Prom 1998, our Senior year in High School. Debbie looks so glamorous here.

My wedding day, 2004 and no, it wasn't Egyptian themed as the room suggests, we got married on a cruise ship and that's where they put us.

I hope you have a wonderful day Debbie!

July 4th & Birthday Paty!

Every year my Mom and I have a joint birthday celebration because my birthday is July 1st and hers is July 4th, so we had the party yesterday. We had a great time with friends and family (my Aunt & Uncle surprised us by driving from Kentucky without telling us)!

I had to of course use the party as an opportunity to wear my new Tiny Windows dress from Anthropologie and Sydney was styling in her Liberty of London dress from Target.

I loved all of my gifts but I was so excited to get the Daisy Chain bracelet from Anthropologie that I have been drooling over, daisies are my favorite flower. (As you can probably guess from the pictures!)

Also, I always set up a 'fake' photobooth at the party and provide a basket full of 'props' for everyone to choose from. I have a ton of these to do but Me & Hubby always do silly ones and the next set is Me, my Mom & Sydney. This is one of my favorite things about having a birthday party! I hope you all had a wonderful 4th!!

You Say it's Your Birthday...

So yesterday was my birthday, I turned 30! My Dad flew in to town from Kentucky and my Aunt & Uncle from Kentucky surprised all of us by showing up on my doorstep late last night! My husband called me 'old lady' all day but he's older then me so I just ignored him. (I mean he is the one that's bald already!) All of my friends were like, 'aren't you depressed about turning 30?'. No! If anything, I am looking forward to my thirties because I have a wonderful husband, a beautiful baby girl, a nice home (with a generously filled closet!) and I love my job. What more could I possibly be thankful for? So goodbye 20's, it was lovely but I think these 30's are gonna rock!
