LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE

Thank you all for your kind comments in the last couple of weeks. I try really hard to visit everyone's blog and thank each of you personally, but if I haven't dropped by your blog, please leave the link in the comment section.

Did anyone try the tutorial from yesterday?  I hope you enjoyed it!  My husband thought that my use of the term "blowhole" was hysterical.  Yes, he is a ten-year-old boy trapped in a man's body.

On the eve of my last twenty-something birthday, I went super comfy and casual.  Working odd jobs around town meant there was no need to dress up too much.  Luckily, I love my comfy wear sooooo much!  I'm also sporting a fringe-less version of the topknot.

I promise that come June, I will stop wearing these boots.  Until then, you'll be seeing a lot of them!

Isn't that a beautiful view?  We live in a valley, so the skyline is oh-so-pretty.

Now, I'm going to pick out my birthday outfit.  I have to work all day, which means I will be by myself for most of the day ... poopy!  I must feel fabulous in order to keep up my birthday spirit.

So long for tonight and so long 28!

  14. My birthday is the 18th as well, and it is also another day this week I spent in those boots. I had to get them in black since the gray were sold out, but you're right! These boots are amazing and I can just make them work with everything. I may never take them off... Happy Birthday!

  15. Happy Birthday!! I'm also a huge fan of my birthday so I can totally relate to making it a week long thing. I'm loving your hair like that and your outfit. The different location for pics is very cool too!

  17. Happy birthday to my favorite blogger!! You are only as old as you feel, but let me tell you girl, you don't look a day over 21!!

    Thanks for the nice comments and feedback on my blog yesterday! That outfit was loosely inspired by a previous version of the outfit you are wearing here! So thats probably why you liked it. :)

  20. Happy Birthday stranger! I've been lurking around (er, that sounds so creepy) for a while and decided what better occasion to say hello than your birthday?

    Your outfits are truly inspiring and I love your boots (especially the red alice + olivia ones).

    Take care!
