Birthdays are such a special time for me. There’s a certain giddy feeling I always have every year when July 16th rolls around. 16 is also my lucky number! One year I was so in love with my bday that I celebrated it twice- January 16 was dubbed my half-birthday. And yes, I even had a get together for my half birthday and yes, my friends thought I had lost my mind! lol! (But I did manage to get two bday gifts from my boyfriend, score!)

As you know, I started my new job as fashion blogger for Fashionologie.com & FabSugar.com last month so I didn’t have lots of time to plan a big party. But I made sure to celebrate my special day with friends and family. So much fun!! Couldn’t have wished for a better bday!
