24 Karat Birthday


"It's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world.
Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much.
My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst...
And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it.
And then it flows through me like rain.
And I can't feel anything but gratitude
for every single moment of my stupid little life... "
-American Beauty


I turn 24 today... hooray! My twenty-third year was quite a year... through all of the struggles and successes, I feel like I've finally started to come into my own. I can only be grateful for every single experience that I've had this past year, for each and every moment shapes us. And truly, I am happier than I've ever been in this very moment.

Treating each day as if it were my last... living, loving, and laughing on this great earth.

Always, always.

(Even More) Loubi Love


Since I was in Miami on my actual birthday, I ended up celebrating with family last night at PF Chang's. I have never, ever been more surprised than when this Christian Louboutin cake was brought out when we got home. So cute! (Special thanks to CCB of Posh Young Lady for her detective work!)

Ironically, took this picture on Tuesday of the very shoe that my cake was loosely inspired from. 
$3900 Swarovski-encrusted Daffodil 
Christian Louboutin- Miami, 305.576.6820

Such a happy, happy birthday week I've had. Feeling so very grateful.

Back from Miami



"Here in Miami, I've finally found what I was looking for: the center of my circle. 
I want to stay here and live out my time... forever." 
- Gianni Versace

Back from Miami... and quite honestly, I am sad to be home. Lots of pics and stories to come.

Birthday Dress

I'm absolutely in love with my birthday dress, an ivory Free People Battenburg Lace Slip that I purchased from Nordstrom last month. I plan on wearing an ivory slip underneath mine, rather than a nude one (as shown styled below, left). Since I'm headed to Miami to celebrate, this dress is perfect for warm weather and tan skin. And while I'm perfectly aware that you shouldn't wear white before Memorial Day, I'm making an etiquette exception and wearing it regardless. Rules are meant to be broken, anyway. ;)

Another reason why I adore my Free People dress? It looks SO similar to J. Crew's $495 Heirloom Shift Dress (right), but for $49.95 at freepeople.com (regularly $78), it's an absolute steal!

UPDATE: Neiman Marcus' Last Call has it for $34.50 (on sale for $46 + 25% off + free shipping code LCAPRFS) here! Valid through 4-25-11.
