Ballerina

A fashion dream of mine has come true. I realize that's an overly dramatic statement, but it isn't everyday that such iconic shoes make an appearance at my house. I honestly have been sitting here for what feels like hours trying to figure out what to write, and I still keep coming up with words like surreal, crazy, and unbelievable. Deep words. By far one of the sweetest birthday gifts I've ever received, as well as one of the most extravagant, and I'm unsure if I deserve them. My mom and husband are both amazing, and I can't thank them enough.
If anyone has any tips on caring for designer shoes, please let me know!

TJMaxx bracelet, love this one!

This month is one celebration after the next! First came my birthday, then our one year wedding anniversary this past Sunday (thank you for all the lovely comments on Instagram, we had a wonderful time). My friend's bachlorette party is this coming weekend, followed by her dandelion themed wedding on October fourth. I'm wiped out just thinking about it all! I can't complain though. For the first time in months, it was under 90 degrees here and I wasn't sweating during these pictures in the park. I'm still waiting for the cool-down, but for now, I'll gladly continue wearing white while sipping on an ICED pumpkin spice latte ;)

I only had one thing in mind for my birthday party last Saturday - white! I needed another excuse to pull out my favorite dress, and what better time than during a heat wave? Okay, so that part wasn't planned, but once I set my mind on THE 30th birthday party dress, I knew I had to brave the elements no matter how painful it was. It really wasn't that bad actually. Yes it has sleeves and is constructed of a thicker fabric, but it breathes surprisingly well for such a substantial dress. I borrowed my best friend's bronzed clutch, which I secretly plotted to keep for a while. Funny story: her hubby asked her at one point during the night if she was formally gifting it to me, and she gave him the side eye. That would be a no. Darn! I don't blame her, it's a gorgeous clutch! It mixed so well with my silver d'orsay pumps and golden jewels. Remind me to mix metals again please.
