Happy Birthday To Me!

Today is my birthday! Saturday night I went out to celebrate with some of my favorite people, and also to say goodbye to everyone before I leave town. I'm sad to be leaving but excited about everything that's in store for me in Phoenix!

I finally took the plunge and bought myself some Manolos, and thought Saturday night was as good a time as any to debut them. It's safe to say I'm in love.

 Last weekend in Portland, Oregon, was wonderful, and exactly what I needed. Highlights included tons of fabulous food, including Voodoo Donuts, a waterfall, and the International Rose Test Garden, pictured here. Portland is the City of Roses, and they were almost all in bloom. Hooray for perfect timing! Thank you, Katie and Noah, for the photos, and the wonderful weekend!

Also, Happy Birthday to The Champagne & The Stars! I can't believe it has already been a year since I started this blog. Thank you for all of your support!

Birthday Baby

On top of the wedding and everything else going on last weekend, I also celebrated my birthday in the Twin Cities. Having gone to school there for a number of years, I have quite a few friends still in the area. It was great to be able to catch up with some of them, even if only for a few hours. I really miss my Minneapolis sometimes.  

These shots were taken by Lake Calhoun, with a view of downtown Minneapolis in the background. I really amped up the outfit with the necklace here. It was my birthday, after all! Jump shot ftw.

Birthday BFF

Much birthday love to the random roommate who became the best friend ever. The goings on in our 9x13 dorm room freshman year of college can only be described with that vague sense of awesomeness that pervaded all things of my 18th year.

Happy birthday to my darling Katie! All my love.
