Knowing what a fanatic I am about invitations, J hand delivered paper invites to my nearest and dearest. Lucky for me, my parents were in town and lured me out of the house for a few hours [who could turn down manicures and margaritas with Mom?]. I came home to a festive house, lots of delicious food and my very best friends. It will most certainly be a birthday to remember.
Everyone had a blast with the Polaroid...
And finally, the most important thing to consider when presented with your birthday cake: Will the paper under my tart catch fire?

Elizabeth H: Thanks so much! That's my vintage "Carmen Miranda" dress I bought from the basement of the Jill Stuart boutique in New York last weekend. Doesn't it just scream P-A-R-T-Y?!

Happy Birthday! Your dress is fabulous and so is your hair.
On a different note: we missed each other in Austin (more specifically, South Congress) by only a few hours (so it seems). Fortunately, I read your post while I was there (at Hotel San Jose) and tried South End Cafe (based on your recommendation). Getting to the point, we loved it! Thanks for posting about your day trip and your delicious lunch venue.
Again, Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! I pop in from time to time and read your posts! Just had to share that my Golden Bday is this year too...27 on Sept 27th...celebrating with a winery trip...no better way to creep closer to 30 than by sipping (who am I kidding-more like gulping) some wine. Loved your dress too!
