Set fire to the rain

It was such an eventful weekend for me. I worked a lot, but in addition to that I celebrated both Danielle's bachelorette party at the Saddle Ranch and my mom's birthday the following day. It was so great to see Danielle having such a great time, and she looked so beautiful. I can't believe her wedding is in 2 weeks! 

The next day, my family celebrated my mom's birthday at our favorite restaurant Cafe Bizou.  The food and service is so excellent, we always leave feeling incredibly satisfied. After lunch, we saw One Day. But I'm in the middle of reading the book, so I wasn't sure if I should see it yet- but I didn't want to be a party pooper, so I saw it anyway-and it was so beautiful. I didn't think I would cry, but I did. And it was acted amazingly by both Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway. I would definitely recommend it. And I can't wait to finish the book.

And...I'm sorry I don't have any great pics of my outfits. It's just been so hot outside- dressing has mostly been for comfort and cooling- and the last thing I want to do is stand around taking pictures in this heat. Hopefully, when September rolls around it'll get a little cooler. 

Hope everyone had a beautiful weekend!

Happiness, hit her like a train on a track...

My Birthday: Part I

 

One of my best friends (Siera) and I share a birthday. We were both born on September 21st- except she '87 and I '85. This is one of the few reasons she and I have clicked so well since we first met. It's the bond, that connection-that can't really be broken by anyone/anything. We just get each other. I feel so lucky to be able to share this wonderful "date" with her.

I started my day off with a mani-treat from my other Best, Kate-and shopping. That's when she got me the killer military boots I'm wearing in my birthday outfit. Went from $200 to $35! Pretty good bargain if you ask me. Thanks Bester! In the evening, my honey and I went to Citywalk to have dinner at Wolfgang Puck. Had the best pizza of my life. Smoked salmon on a dill cream sauce-it was yum. Then it was off to Saddle Ranch for Siera's shindig. We had the entire place to ourselves-and good times were had watching her ride the bull! Thank God no one asked me to do it-that would've been tragic. Haha! My gift to her btw...a date to see Florence + the Machine at her sold out show on Nov. 8th! I'm so beyond excited for us.

Love my birthday boo! xoxo

I'm having my party next week! So there'll be more pictures to come for sure.
