Birthday Brights!

Yellow Dress: c/o Make Me Chic (wearing size small) || Shoes: Sam Edelman “Yardley” (option 1/option 2) || Necklace: Kendra Scott Rayne || Apple Watch || Clutch: Mud Pie (similar) || Bangles: Bourbon and Bowties 


Today is one of my favorite days of the year… My BIRTHDAY!! It’s my last year in my twenties and I can hardly believe it! I remember being a little girl and thinking that 30 sounded so old, and that I would be so mature and have it all figured out by then. Now it’s a year away and I still don’t feel close to having it all together- ha! I certainly don’t feel old either 😉

To celebrate, I headed to Raleigh last night with some of my girls for a fun weekend! We’ve got lots of brunch, wine, and relaxing planned & I can’t wait! If you need me I will be laughing, dancing, and toasting to the brand new year of my life and all the excitement and hope it ushers in!

You know I had to celebrate my birthday in the brightest dress I owned, which at the moment happens to be this fun yellow off the shoulder number. I am just loving yellow so much for spring! Since once can never have enough brights, I added an even brighter necklace & clutch #MoreisMore. Don’t know about you, but I’m ready to pop the bubbly and get my celebrating on!

Have an awesome weekend y’all- you can keep up with my girls trip on Instagram here 😉 Can’t wait to share all our fun with you!

Birthday Brights!

Today is a big day around here- it’s my birthday!! I’m a huge fan of my birthday (and all celebrations in general) so I’m pretty excited for today!

It’s always nice to look at a birthday as a fresh start. To be honest, 27 was a hard year. I was in a very unstable relationship which ended after 6 years- and there was a lot of “moving on” that had to be done. There were times I struggled with seeing God’s plan and I felt as if I had been forgotten. I questioned where my life was headed and what I really wanted. But y’all, God is faithful and the past few months he has been working in HUGE ways and I am seeing his plan so clearly! I received a promotion into a position that I absolutely love & now am able to travel. I’ve grown wonderful friendships. I’ve had the time of my life in the Junior League Presidency and been opened to many new experiences. I’ve deepened my faith and seen myself become a better person who is more thoughtful and prayerful in my decision making. And I know it’s all been leading me to this… a fresh new year full of adventure, memories, and of course- celebrations!

So bring on the “late twenties” and cheers to the big 2-8! I’m ready to say hello to the best year yet 🙂
