Birthday Wishes

Well, I'm turning 24 at the end of the month, so I decided to share the list of items I'm currently coveting for my birthday. Fashion meets functions with this list, and if I were to wake up to one of these all wrapped up for me, I'd flip! The leopard coat by By Malene Birger is phenomenal, and exactly what I've been holding out for. The Mars booties by Rachel Comey are a closet staple, and I need new black booties in my arsenal. The Marc by Marc Jacobs bag has been mentioned quite a few times here, but can you blame me? It's timeless! The Dannijo necklace is the ultimate statement necklace that I'd wear with anything, from a crappy tee to a red-carpet gown. I desperately need a new camera, so why  not invest in this Nikon DSLR to meet all my photo needs (blog included)? And finally... my 5 year old MacBook is beginning to show signs of aging :( so it's about time for an upgrade.

And of course, the most important wish is to have another healthy, happy, and productive year, with all my loved ones in tow <3

Birth Night

Ok, so these weren't taken at night, but I wanted to show you all what I wore out to dinner! The night was pretty casual; just some delicious food, and amazing friends to feast with. We went to Straw SF, which is where the wildest food dreams come true. Don't believe me? There was a film crew for "World's Weirdest Restaurants" filming there while we ate. You can catch it in Canada, or wait for my review, coming soon.

Onto the outfit. Nothing too spectacular, and sparkly like I had previously shown, but I think I nailed it for the occasion. Cute shirt-dress, fun tights, a little bit of jewelry, and a bright lip. Easy and put together. The only thing I could have done without was the belt, only so there would have been more room in my belly for more delicious weird food.

Birth Day

Just a quick outfit post before the festivities begin. I spent my day hanging out in South Park, shopping, and eating. A good relaxing way to spend the day. I've never been into the denim shirt look but I was convinced to try it, and I'm glad I did. They're quite comfy and stylish, just the way I like em :)

Shirt: Zara. Trousers: Anthropologie. Booties: Coclico. Necklace: Anthropologie. Watch: Vintage. Bracelet: Gifted. Sunglasses: Ray Ban. Bag: H&M.

Currently Craving: Birthday Dress

My 23rd birthday is officially in one week!!! It's not a milestone birthday or anything like that, but I'm excited to see all my friends in one place for a night. I'm not doing anything too extravagant; just a nice dinner with my favorite people, and maybe a bar afterwards. Pretty simple and low-key. I don't think I'm going to buy a "birthday" dress, I have plenty I could wear, but there a few dresses have caught my eye as possibilities for the occasion. These dresses are also things I would wear through the holiday season and into New Year's Eve.

Madewell Velvet Shirtdress

This dress is simple but the velvet takes it up a notch. The navy color and sheen from the fabric makes it easy to pile on different colored accessories. I would pair this with bold jewelry everywhere and a sexy pair of patterned tights like these. Best of all it's warm!

Madewell Patterned Dress

I like the pattern on this dress, and I don't have a dress with this silhouette. I would wear this with a bold necklace, this belt, thick wool tights, and booties.

Alice + Olivia Sequined Dress

This dress is the quite party dress! It's beautiful, and I would feel amazing wearing it. Since it's so standout you would hardly need to accessorize. Simple smoky eye make-up, black tights, and a great pair of pumps would perfectly accent this dress.

AllSaints Sequined Dress

This is the ultimate special occasion dress! No one can do embellishments better than AllSaints. Actually no one can do a lot of things better than them. I would initially buy this for New Year's, but my birthday is pretty special, and so is this dress, so it's a match made in heaven. Like the dress above, I would keep accessories to a bare minimum.
