27-6

Today is my birthday, and I’m turning 27. It’s strange because when I was 21, thinking of 27 seemed so old to me and so far away, and now that it’s here I feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be, and it doesn’t feel scary at all. I still can’t imagine turning thirty, but I know in three years I’ll feel comfortable with it. I’ve always been a huge birthday person, whether it’s mine or someone else’s. Matthew and I are having a joint birthday party later in the month (his birthday is two weeks after mine). Otherwise, I’ll be celebrating today and throughout the week/weekend with various meals and happy hours with family and friends, and I can’t wait. I hope you all have a great week.

living in leather

October 29, 2012 by Julie 6:00 am 12 Comments

Saturday night was one of my best friend’s birthday celebrations. It was a fun night filled with sushi, drinking, dancing, and friends. I decided to embrace the fact that it’s finally feeling like fall down here in Houston, and broke out my leather jacket. I’m a huge leather jacket fan, and in the chilly months I live in them, so you can imagine how excited I was when I realized it was cool enough out to wear one Saturday. I paired it with a simple black tank, statement necklace, army green silky ‘parachute’/harem pants (yes, my boyfriend actually asked if I was about to go skydiving in this outfit), and booties. I wasn’t too hot, wasn’t too cold, and it was a fabulous evening.

wish list

June 15, 2012 by Julie 1:33 pm 1 Comment

And the weekend is upon us. I’m heading out on vacation Sunday, and I have to admit, I can’t wait to do nothing but sit on a beach for 5 days. I am going to try my absolute best to not turn on my iPhone, and to strictly use the computer for blog posts and any urgent emails, but we all know it can be rather hard to ‘disconnect.’ But I will certainly try.

I think everyone is entitled to a ‘wish list.’ You know – those few things that you want to buy immediately, if not sooner. My current list ranges from nail polish to an egg crate (yes, an egg crate)…

 

1. Nars ‘Thakoon’ Nail Polish

2. Bensimon Sneaker

3. Sobral bracelet

4. Rebecca Minkoff Quilted Bag

5. Super Sunglasses

6. Aqua Shorts

7. Anthropologie Egg Crate
