Happy middle of the week! I put my best friend back on a plane to CA yesterday (sad!!!) so now it's back to reality. This morning I'm strolling through my house, taking care of things I've ignored the past 6 days while she was here. Cleaning bathrooms, vacuuming, doing laundry...glam life today. =)
So I'm now 32 years old...I've decided that's still young. So what if I start to feel old when my hip pain from running kicks in and my joints ache just a little more as I get out of bed in the morning?! I'm ignoring all that for now. I used to think anything past 30 was getting old...thankfully 30 is like the new 10 or something so I'm actually must younger than I think! =) For my birthday this year I got to get all dressed up for church since it landed on a Sunday...here's what I pulled out of my closet:
Twisted Ascot Tee-Anthropologie/ Peppering Skirt-Anthropologie/ Belt-Banana Republic/ Mixed Media Heels-Anthropologie/ Bracelet-Twisted Silver/ Earrings-Ruche/ Flower Bud Ring-J Crew
I always loved how this top and skirt were paired in the Anthro catalog last year when they came out so I finally wore them together just like that. Funny...I actually bought this shirt last year with my birthday discount!
I was spoiled by friends and family for my fun day this year...it's always fun to be remembered! Hubby surprised me a few days early with my birthday present:
A new iPad!
I've been wanting one for a long time and was totally surprised by it. He did good! =)
I was also gifted this gorgeous necklace by my best friend while she was here, that I've had my eye on for a while:
Love it!!! The colors are so fun and make it so versatile! Thanks Elise!
And I may or may not have bought myself a little present as well:
by Marc by Marc Jacobs
I have wanted a Rose Gold watch for quite some time and with a hefty rewards card and a great Piperlime discount, I made this watch mine for just a 1/3 of the retail price. It still hasn't arrived yet though because I accidentally sent it to my old address in CA. Whoops! I was able to get it re-routed though (I think) so I'm crossing my fingers it will find it's way to Ohio soon!
I also got a gift card and some shopping money from family members which was so nice...I'm trying to decide what to put it all towards. There are more than a few things on my wish list right now that I'd love to add to my closet for fall...just have to narrow it down to what I want the most! Here's my current top ten wish list:
Most are from Anthropologie, but there are a few things that can be found from other places. The only thing that really should be on this wish list that's not is a pair of black riding boots. I haven't found the perfect pair yet so I'm still on the look out.
So it was a very happy birthday. I was spoiled indeed. Even though all the things are fun and fabulous, my favorite gift came from my three boys. I came home to find flowers and a homemade card waiting for me, and my oldest brought me breakfast in bed. What more can a girl ask for? I'm so blessed. =)
Alright, off to actually get some stuff done! Hope you have a fabulous day!
PS--I hear rumors something fantastic is suppose to be happening at Anthro this weekend, but have no idea what! Anyone get any tips from their local stores??
