my birthday!

Today is my birthday and I can't believe I am so old. I have major issues with my own birthday because I just don't like to make a big deal out of it. I normally don't even like people to know its my birthday! But this year was actually really fun, probably my most fun birthday yet. My mom was in town on Friday and we all went to eat at The Porch. Then on Saturday Nick and I went to brunch and ended up spending the rest of the day at one of my favorite bars in Dallas. I also got some really cute summer clothes. A white maxi dress from my mom and a Michelle Mason tank top and white blazer from Nick. Plus Nick's mom got me tickets to Miranda Lambert. I have been dying to see her in concert for years!

I have an abnormal obsession with Friday Night Lights and Tim Riggins, so Nick surprised me with this t-shirt too.

happy birthday nick!

I cannot believe we have known each other for over 18 years and still have so much fun hanging out!

Oklahoma history class,

when overalls were a main staple of my wardrobe,

and now into our 30's.

It's so crazy and doesn't seem nearly that long.

Happy Birthday!

birthday cake??

These cute candles almost make me want a birthday cake next year. Almost.

I have carried my first crossbody bag so much that when my birthday came I decided I wanted another one. I liked the Rebecca Minkoff MAC my sister Mallory had recently bought, so I decided to get one of her bags.

I ended up with the Navajo Studs Clutch and I love it. I ordered it from Shopbop and it is even better in person!

happy valentine's day!

Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday...and my mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Mom!

i'm weird about my birthday

Most people love their birthday and make big plans, I on the other hand kind of hate mine. Most of the time when something involves me getting a present I love it, but not my birthday. This year I decided to spend the day doing my 3 favorite things: shopping, eating out, and watching movies.

We started the day having breakfast at Breadwinners. It's a restaurant in Uptown with really good food and a really cute atmosphere.

We ended up spending the majority of the day at our 2 favorite hangouts, Highland Park Village and Northpark Mall. I don't know if people realize how great Dallas shopping has become in the last few years. Most people don't think of Dallas as a shopping destination, but so many great stores have opened since I moved here. See a list of stores and restaurants at Highland Park Village & Northpark Center

We ended the night having dinner at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, Mi Cocina , and seeing Alice in Wonderland.

It wasn't the typical birthday, but it definitely ended up being my favorite. I'm not even dreading next years.

My Cake.
