Show And Tell

By Melanie

I had a great birthday! Below are some of the highlights.


Little lamb slippers from my Mom. I first I thought they were little bunnies. So cute and warm! She gave me the some great gifts.


Cupcake galore from my bf! Such yummy flavors! I think the red velvet is my favorite!

Dinner out with my bf.

Unfortunately on Sunday (the day of my bday) I wasn't feeling that great so I didn't go to the movies. My sister came by to hang out and gave me the best present. She made me a beautiful neclace. The perks of having a talented jewelry designer as a sister! I'm going to take a photo of it when I wear it this week.

I hope you had a nice weekend too!

Vegas Baby!

Saturday was the big birthday! We decided to celebrate in style, so last minute, we packed our bags and headed to Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. We were pretty lucky during the trip. Although we didn't win any money gambling (well, I only played $20 on the slot machines so how much could I really win), we did get a complimentary upgrade to a suite on the penthouse level! Awe, they must have known it was my birthday ;p Our suite was so big and gorgeous with a great view. What a way to start out the night! PH has lot's of shopping available. So we checked out Bebe and found some sexy dresses to wear out. After we got all dolled up, we went to Koi for dinner and danced the night away at Prive. Thanks girls for making my birthday so fun!

I love the turquoise and black color scheme!

My dress matched the hotel's decor!

Love the turquoise double doors.

Birthday Blues

To drown my tears about turning another year older *cry, sniffle, cry*, I decided to self medicate with a little shopping and treat myself to an early birthday present. Although my birthday isn't until next week, I thought I would start celebrating now! Woohoo! I've been wanting to buy a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses forever. So what better time than the present. I think they are such a classic and will stay in style long after the hipsters toss them aside ;P

What do you think?
