Fashion Friday & Birthday Wishes

Last week when my mama was in town, we went shopping {what we do best!} and she bought me this sweet black dress from Meadow- the boutique I work at in Seattle. It's my birthday dress, which means I'm wearing it for my family party on Sunday, but of course I had to give it a test run (:

I love that it will ease right into winter time, too, with the addition of a long coat, scarf, & an extra pair of leggings.


Now about that birthday coming up next week....
Here's my Birthday Wish List:


1. Oh, Lola by Marc Jacobs OR Twirl by Kate Spade perfume. Preferences anyone?!


2. Boots- one of my fave looks is wearing leg warmers or socks coming out of tall boots.


3. Colored Jeans




4. Design Sponge at Home


5. New Fall/Winter jacket




I'll let ya know how I fare after the weekend (:


Today I'm flying home to California for the weekend. I can't wait to see the family and chill.  Rhiannon from Hey Gorg is also in San Francisco right now, so we're planning a really classy meet up at the SF airport right after I land (: Hooray!


Happy Halloween weekend, everyone! 
Love,
Photobucket

    Cute dress -- looks so comfortable but you could dress it up OR down! So many options!

    And I've never smelled the Kate Spade perfume but I LOVE that bottle! Would look so cute on a dresser in a tray :) :) but Lola smells amazing, so win win either way.

    Happy birthday!

    So cute, the dress and the model!

    Have fun in the city! It has been beautiful weather here for the most part, at least in the downtown, Nob Hill area. I can speak for the outer regions. :)
