ahoy!

happy Thursday everyone! so today I wanted to go more into detail with my birthday outfit since my main passion is fashion....hey that rhymes! ok sorry...as you may know my theme was nautical, so lets jump right in!

so I wanted to incorporate every color - red, white & blue & i didn't want to look like a flag, so I added a touch of red by wearing red sandals, a red ring, red nails & a bow...just the perfect amount of pop!

A light jean jacket works with almost every outfit

I love this sandals because the back strip is blue!

they call this type of skirt a "cupcake" skirt....can you see why though?

I decided to change up my usual silver and wear gold jewelry instead...i feel it goes better with my nautical theme....

welcome back lovers! hope you all had a wonderful memorial day holiday! my birthday weekend turned out to be everything I hoped it would be! everything we planned on doing we did! so of course i took A TON of photos...i mean an overload.... i wanted to show you my whole birthday weekend in one post so i made collages of my birthday highlights! so let's get this started!

i have the pleasure of babysitting these wonderful kids every week....so the weekend before my birthday we all got together for dinner at Ferrells, a fun, loud burger & ice cream parlor...its always a good time. i just love their family

so i told everyone they had to dress nautical theme & i was super excited because my mom decorated the boat all nautical & even got me a sailor hat.....we had appetizers on the boat to hold us off until lunch. We lucked out having such a beautiful weather while boating around Newport Harbour (considering the day before it was drizzling)

I got Fendi sunglasses!

 

so a lot of you saw my little tease i posted on Saturday of me with the infamous Tiffany & Co box....my amazing boyfriend got me this adorable silver bracelet with the Tiffany charm heart in the Tiffany blue....I'm obsessed....along with that he also got me some OPI nail polish & Victoria Secret boyfriend sweats...as usual he went overboard & spoiled me :)

reppin' my Laker socks

bowling was a blast....the 6 of us played in teams of 2..we played 3 games & I added up all our scores at the end....my sister & her boyfriend beat us, but i would hope so considering their hard core bowlers with their own balls & shoes...the boyfriend & i came in second & my mom & dad came in last...it was a good time

can you see Maxx's bandage from his IV...my poor baby

about an hour before my actual birthday after the day of celebrating, my dog had an awful emergency and we had to take him to the ER....he ended up staying overnight & $500 dollars later, hes doing a lot better. But it was a crazy way to start off my 27th birthday in the animal hospital. It was a SUPER late night, so the next day we slept in & went to sushi for lunch....and of course staying with theme I dressed nautical

then on Monday we ended the day at the beach...it was a beautiful day & the hottest of the weekend!

so the weekend was a success & I got some fabulous stuff....come back tomorrow & see more detailed pictures of my birthday outfit....i was a little obsessed

What's in the box....
