24 Candles

Yes, I turned 24 the other day - Yikes! Everyone keeps saying how young I still am, and I realize that. However, being 21 is younger and a tad more fun.. ;)

I wanted a really girly look for dinner on my birthday. It was great sharing the weekend with close friends and family. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with me!

Hope you all are having a lovely week!

I couldn't go very long without making a wish list! I have my eyeing some statement necklaces from Henri Bendel. They're so pretty! I really love the one above. 

In previous posts (if you've seen my blog before), I've mentioned how I want a pair of Tory Burch Reva Flats. Well, these brown ones are completely amazing! A matching wallet would be pretty fabulous too ;)

Lastly, I  want a nice, light weight patterned scarf. Rebeccaminkoff.com is having a sale currently (ends tomorrow), and there are several silk patterened scarves I really like! This Alexander McQueen one is aiming high. Isn't it so pretty, though?!

Tomorrow is FRIDAY! My bf comes home on leave Saturday for a whole month.

Oh, I have been looking forward to this weekend for a long, long time!

Last week I posted about a statement scarf. Even though the weather has been on and off warm/cool the past few weeks, the hot days are becoming very hot, and a scarf sometimes is not plausible.

In the summer, when the weather is beautifully warm, the days are busy, and there isn't much time to throw together a creative ensemble, a bright, big necklace is the perfect alternative to dress up a simple t-shirt and jeans (or trousers for work).  

I found these affordable necklaces above, and I love them! Specifically, I have been looking at Bauble Bar, Anthropologie, and Forever 21. They have affordable, beautiful pieces that you can keep for a long time. However, I really want a nice piece from Henri Bendel, or of course, the most expensive pieces from Anthropologie. haha

I saw a beautiful neon pink necklace at F21 this past weekend, but to my dismay, it had a scratch or something on it! I was so disappointed. I will probably end up purchasing a necklace there, because they are so affordable (only about $10!!), and if I get tired of looking at it, I won't feel guilty about the price tag.

How do you feel about colorful, "loud" necklaces like these?
