Annual Birthday Wishlist

It's that time of year, where my birthday is making it's way closer and closer!! So as per tradition, I like to do a little wishlist of items I'm coveting.

This playsuit and skirt combo on etsy. To-die-for!! 

Fun accessories from ModCloth!! 1 / 2 

A flamingo purse... because who wouldn't want one??

Lindy bop Ophelia in polka dot?? Yes please!!

 A long sleeve floral shirt dress. I've been coveting the light blue/yellow floral forever (also available here), but she's pricy. The lindy bop navy floral is a great option for fall and winter!! 

I'm about to upgrade my phone, so a new iPhone case would be nifty!! Blue rotary style to match my blue rotary phone at home?? Fun! And a new Michael Kors wallet clutch is definitely a must for work! 

This lighthouse dress is just so adorable!! 

Bait Ida's in navy patent!! OOooOohhhh!! 

And this Collectif coat (not yet available) is simply stunning! I almost bought the taupe version of this last winter, hesitated, and missed out. Now I'm so happy I didn't buy it, because this green would definitely make me envious!!! 

a chalet style birthday...

My birthday is today. The big 3-2.  Actually it's not that big, but it felt big in the very special kind of way seeing as how so many people helped me celebrate it.  Dominic and I decided that a weekend at his mother's chalet was the perfect weekend away for us.  I like low-key celebrations, just the two of us, where we get to spend some good quality time together. And that's exactly what we did. We went off the grid all weekend long. No cell phones. No internet. Just us.  Can we do this more often please??

 As you can see from my photos, it really is such a peaceful place.  We did head back in to civilization on Saturday though, as we wanted to head out for a nice dinner and dessert.  So we dressed up, and headed out for sushi.

I debated over my Bernie Dexter sundae dress and my modcloth pie dress for a birthday outfit.  They're both very birthday-ish, and I love wearing both of them.  Bernie Dexter won out in the end, because I feel dressier in it, and the low neck line adds to the sexiness, so I thought it was more date night appropriate.  I did switch up my regular outfit with my new bait shoes, as oppose to my regular red chelsea crews that I normally sport with this dress.

Dominic put on one of my faves of his shirts, a vintage-style harley davidson button up, with some big bill pants and some sneaks. 

  
     cardigan: local shop
     dress: bernie dexter via modcloth

I had an amazing birthday weekend with this guy, filled with lots of love, relaxation, yummy food, and getting spoiled rotten.  I'm seriously so lucky to have him.

birthday wish list...

it's almost that time again... my birthday! just over a month away now, and i've had people mentioning presents, plans, etc... so i thought i'd do my annual birthday wishlist... just for anyone out there who's stumped as to what to get me! 

this dress, via modcloth

i've been in love with these shoes for years!

vintage box 1947 has the prettiest hair accessories ever! (particularly this one, in red or yellow)

 swedish hasbeens... on my forever drool list, which i'll probably never own because they're so pricey. but these are just amazing!!

this hat is just too fun! and winter is fast approaching in Canada!

a kit cat clock!! this green girly one with pearls is just too 'me'

she & him's latest album. i debated getting this for a while, and i think it'd be great for just some mellow listening... 

some accessories from modcloth... a carousel pin, classic cameo earrings, and fun teacup earrings!

and lastly, this dress. god i love this dress. i've been coveting it for months, but haven't made the splurge (yet).

and there you have it. my 32nd birthday wishlist, as per usual, loaded with pretties, and surprise surprise, my two addictions: shoes and dresses. (ps, if anyone out there does decide to order me a special item from modcloth, don't forget to click the banner to the left, as i'm now an affiliate!)

birthday drinks!

 i almost forgot what it felt like to not be in lace, frills and florals.  i bought this dress about a year ago, and have only worn it once.  i now have a new rule that when i go someplace on weekends, i need to wear non-work outfits.  well, that's what i attempted last night for melissa's birthday celebration!  we went out for drinks and dinner, so i wanted to spice up my regular look a little.  it was a difficult task!

 i enjoyed the banana split martinis a tad too much, and had three.  i know that doesn't seem like many, but for someone who rarely drinks... needless to say i was a chatty and giggly like a school girl all night.  and then home and in my pj's by 9:00 pm.  we're wild.

melissa loved her prezzie, michael kors sunnies to match her watch!  :)

so happy she liked them! i was a bit stressed.  sunglasses aren't the easiest item to buy for someone when they aren't with you to try them on.  however, had she not liked them, i would've been okay with that.  new sunnies for me!
