Everyone meet my new baby…aka my purse lol

I got this beauty for my birthday and am obsessed. I started looking online and I even saw people who had monogrammed the luggage tag. What do we think of this? I am all in favor because I love anything monogrammed, but I wanted to get others opinions.
(ps..I am a little sad because my camera was acting a little funky so the pictures are a little blurry, next shots will be better details).

The look was a little more urban for me, but I liked because it is not what you always see me in. I like how this was a little more of a subtle look for me.

Also, I have to mention that my brother endlessly made fun of the saying on my shirt, I will admit I didn’t really pay attention to what it said when buying it haha. But I still like it a lot.

So how excited was I that is was warm enough this week to actually wear a skirt…without tights!!! Even though I do love Winter for its holidays and the snow is beautiful, by the end of March, I am over it lol.
A few of my friends & I went to the outlets over the weekend and I was so tempted with all of the bright spring colors, so I had to pick up these shoes and skirt. I also found the most darling bracelet that matched my new earrings and necklace that I got for my birthday! I must say that I was totally spoiled.
Check out Friday’s post to see my big birthday present aka “My Baby”.

26 Candles

THE CANVAS –

Dress : Kathy Hilton (purchase) ~ Shoes : Guess ~ Ring : David Yurman ~
Bracelets : J.Crew, Forever21 (similar)

Today is my 26th birthday!!!!
One year older, and one year wiser.
Although I had no where that fancy to go, I figured why not dress up in a birthday worthy dress! Sometimes you just need to get some balloons and wear something sparkly on your special day.
Also, I have to admit, I did get this dress for a steal. My mom works at a local hotel in Utah and they were closing their boutiques for renovation, so the entire store was 90% off. No, that is not a typo! Normally I don’t think I could swallow buying a sequined party dress for that much, but with the discount, I didn’t think twice about it 🙂
