Modern Vintage Boots (also seen here), La Mer watch, Forever 21 bag and skirt, H&M top
You can see how wet the sidewalks are from the rain.
I celebrated a birthday last week (Thursday, to be exact) and opted for smaller, more intimate celebrations over one big event. While my birthdays of the past signified big parties, lots of people, and trendy venues, they've evolved into quiet nights, dinners with friends and, of course, cupcakes! We went to dinner with friends on Saturday and due to the rain, gloominess, and unreasonably cold temperatures, this was the first year I've ever worn winter boots and a long sleeved top for my July birthday. Regardless of the weather, we had a fantastic time. Thank you to Gabe and my friends and family for making my day (and the entire week) very special!

Happy [belated] Birthday Valerie!!
I just went to the beach with my cousin (who lives in SM) and we went to Vanilla Bake Shop. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm! I had never been there before and now every trip there will need to include a 'cupcake pick-up' :). And you're right about the weather! My cousin told me that it's been very cold this summer but we decided to go to the beach anyways, since it was our only day to hang out before Jacob goes to camp next week (and I would hear about it for a lifetime if he didn't get to the beach!). We got lucky w/ a 'pocket' of sunshine.
Again, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
