Barbie Dream Birthday

Dress - Pin Up Girl Clothing
Earrings - Dazzalite
Tiara - Disneyland

Its not a celebration until there is a costume change, and I knew this Voodoo Vixen dress from Pin Up Girl Clothing would be a perfect finale dress. I felt like Barbie in it, which means it's pretty close to perfect. I'm a little bit obsessed with PUG, their clothes are expertly designed and incredible quality. On top of that, their prices are fairly low, they have sizes for everyone, and their site is huge! Needless to say, I'm a huge fan. 

I was nervous about this dress at first, mostly for sizing. The fabric stretches a little, and I had heard that with this dress you don't need a bra, that it is fairly supportive. I tend to be in between sizes, and as previously mentioned, pretty busty. When it arrived however,  it fit like an absolute dream. My guests even gave me a standing ovation when I came down the stairs in this number! Of course it was only complete with my flamingo pink Dazzalite earrings, and my tiara! 

After the party, my wonderful friend Audrey sent me this video she made! I absolutely died when I watched it, it's the perfect little memory! I'm so grateful to have so many loving and supportive friends, they really made my birthday great!

Love,

Party Like a Playgirl

Dress and Brooch - Enz's NYC
Tiara - Disneyland 

I am one of those people who's birthday is not a day, but an entire month. My real birthday is February 15, the day after Valentines day. This year I was able to extend it all the way through March 7, because with a little ingenuity a girl can do anything.  I started my birthday in New York City, but have no pictures from it because it was so cold and I was so busy. I managed to stop by two amazing stores while I was there, SlapBack NYC and Enz's NYC. I highly recommend both to any retro-inspired shoppers visiting New York! I found some amazing things in both shops, including this dress I got at Enz's. The moment I put it on I felt like Cinderella and I knew it would be perfect for my party. 

I haven't actually thrown a birthday party in three years! The last one I had was so over the top I didn't think any other would match it, but I was proven wrong. One thing I love about my birthday is how close it is to Valentines Day, everything is pink and red and covered in roses! It's perfect for decorating! With Valentines decorations still up, I baked cupcakes (with pink frosting), cookies, Elvis sandwiches, vegan chicken nuggets, fries, and chips. My friend Audrey found a vintage cocktail shaker, and mixed up some wonderful pink cocktails for us! In my book, it was perfect. The best part was my friends obliging me and dressing up like it was 1959. Everyone looked amazing, and it really made my birthday! I'm so grateful my party was such a success, I hope every year can be as great! 

This is only part of my birthday! Expect another post with a couple surprises soon! 

Love,
