The last few days have been a never ending birthday celebration. If I had any concerns about turning 30, I would never have known because I was so busy celebrating! On Thursday night, some friends and I went out for drinks at the Standard followed by a tipsy dinner in the East Village. There were many highlights of the evening but I was absolutely shocked when my husband and sister gave me a classic Chanel 2.55 black bag, something that I’ve only ever dreamed of owning. I’m never surprised but I was this time!
On Friday we drove up to NH and had a beautiful dinner with my mom and her husband at Pine Restaurant. When we came home, she gifted me with a beautiful pair of diamond earrings and I officially felt spoiled.
Saturday night my dad and his wife threw me a BBQ with friends and family to officially end birthday-mania. It was a beautiful night with good food, amazing wine from my birth-year (apparently ’85 was a great year for Bordeaux).
But maybe the best part of the entire birthday was when Heather from the Real Housewives of New York retweeted me. Life goal = met!
Now it’s back to an extra busy week but I’m going into it feeling loved and just a little bit older! If you have any parties coming up this summer, I highly recommend this dress (for more sizes, try this similar version). The color and swingy fit is so fun!
Shop my look:
I love that dress! The color and fit are perfect. Hoping 30 is your best year yet!

All the love, effort and thought (and money) your family put into making your 30th birthday special..and the best part about your birthday was getting a retweet from a reality tv star? Never would’ve expected something so shallow from you.
Hi Bets, It seems like the sarcasm usually present in my voice doesn’t quite come out in my writing! It was definitely a joke/sarcastic comment, I promise I’m not that shallow 🙂
Adorable post! Looks like you had a great birthday, which you deserve!
