My 21st birthday dinner was everything I could have asked for and more.  Fancy drinks, great company, amazing food, and funfetti cake (with Cafe Nuovo‘s signature rock candy sprinkled on top, of course!).  The best meal of my life (seriously cannot stress this enough- if you ever have a chance to eat at Cafe Nuovo, DO IT) was followed by bar hopping with all of my very best friends, where a basil/lemon concoction invented by the brilliant bartender at The Eddy took the prize as best drink of the night.  A wonderful night of eating, drinking and dancing surrounded by everyone you love the most…is there anything better?  I think not!

Wow.  100 followers.

I never dreamed so many people would actually be interested enough in my little bloggie to subscribe.  Who could’ve predicted when I decided to create it on an otherwise boring August day two years ago that it would grow to be such a beloved part of my life?  I truly cherish every moment spent typing out little snippets of my days and sharing them here.  I love using this site to chronicle the exciting (and at times, slightly less interesting, but always new) things happening in my life, share my lessons learned and post pretty photos for you all to enjoy.

On that note I would like to thank each and every one of my one hundred (and three!) subscribers, you guys are AWESOME!

One of the best things about summer fashion is having the opportunity to get dolled up in the girliest of ensembles.  Of course it’s always nice to have an occasion to flaunt said ensemble, but sometimes a little improvisation is required.  These gorgeous dresses have me dreaming of throwing my very own backyard bonanza, complete with fancy hors d’oeuvres, pretty cocktails and sticky ‘smores.
