Birthday Suit

I had wanted to share this look sooner, but this past week has been one extremely long drawn out week. So I'm excited to finally get to share the details of what I wore for my birthday dinner.

After 4 years of laying low on my birthday, I thought it was time to step it up and get fabulous for my 29th. I've spent the past 4 birthday's either preggers, about to pop, or taking care of an infant. So it was time to do something fun and what's more fun then a girls night in Hollywood! We had reservations for SUR restaurant. And if you don't already know, SUR is a trendy restaurant and lounge in West Hollywood and the focal point of the Bravo hit show, Vanderpump Rules. So clearly, I had to go all out for my night out and nothing screams fabulous better then a little Marchesa!

Normally, I'm all about piling on the accessories, but tonight, I wanted the dress to sparkle all on its own. And I'm not ashamed to admit this is a kids dress. I hate being on the verge of petite and regular sizing. At 5'4 I'm usually somewhere in between so depending on brand I can go either way. I will always say the best part of being on the petite side is being able to snag a few goodies in kids department.

What I Wore: Spring Is In The Air

Yay! It's finally Spring. Not that it really matters here in SoCal. But it's nice to say it's no longer Winter. Springtime is one of most beautiful here, it's warm out but not sweltering. I love being able to layer light pieces and wear bright colors. 

Yellow is probably one of my favorite colors to wear. And this pale yellow lace dress immediately caught my eye when I walked into H&M recently. There are a lot of eyelet dresses out right now, but finding the right one is always difficult. I've been looking for a dress like this for quite some time. It's fitted and has an A-line flare which I prefer to a fuller skirt. I can definitely see this being a perfect Easter dress and definitely one that can be dressed down with sandals for the Summer. [And this dress comes in white too.]

The girls and I decided to surprise Daddy with lunch at work. Ha! They don't look excited here, but trust me they were going nuts hanging out with their daddy. Then it was off to see the Easter Bunny at the mall.

What I Wore: Polka Dots & Sequins

This past weekend, my sister turned 21. I decided it would be fun to take her out to one of the many wineries in town. We're lucky enough to live just minutes away from dozens of wineries, yet I hardly ever make it out to them. So it was a nice little sisterly bonding time. 

Coincidentally,  I was dressed for President's Day, wearing red, white, and blue. And it wasn't until I got home that the Hubs pointed this out to me. Oh well, I always love a good theme, must be the sorority girl in me.
