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,
