I have some amazing friends. My BFF, S, threw me a royalty-themed surprise birthday party a few weeks ago (yes, I’m just now getting around to posting about it). All my lovebugs, including my blogger besties Ashley and Michelle, were present, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to jump into my half-way to 50. Thankfully, I was appropriately dressed in a fabulous one-shoulder Jessica Simpson number (I tend to wear lots of sweat pants on the weekends), and despite an unexpected//early arrival and my hair’s aversion to the Florida humidity, the soiree was a complete ball.
Bustin’ out the extensions, baby!
.one hot, voluminous mess.
Surprise.
Leave it to me to arrive early the ONE time I was expected to be late

Annnd this gem sums up the night.
I now feel fully armed to make the most of this year. With a rejuvenated sense of ambition, mixed with a little sassiness, I’m determined to take over the city. Hope Orlando likes Lilly Pulitzer, smiling, and musicals.
Have a great week!
