Friday was my birthday. Yes, I am another year older…
This year I celebrated by enjoying a wonderful dinner with my boyfriend and taking in amazing seats at a Broadway show. (Thanks Mom and Dad!!!)
I have been dying to see Wicked since it first came out. I love the book. I love the music. I love Kristen Chenoweth and Idina Menzel. And even though I didn’t get to see those lovely ladies perform, I did get to see the most amazing musical I have seen to date…. it was sooo worth waiting nearly 7 years to see it!
All of the excitement and pure bliss of living in the moment completely took my mind off of the fact that I am now in my mid-twenties… and there is no looking back.
I’m trying to embrace it all, but I much prefer just distracting myself with pretty musicals and shinny things.
By shinny things, of course I am referring to my birthday present to myself… my dress.
Yes, it’s Emanuel Ungaro. Yes, it’s thrifted. Yes, it was extremely reasonably priced! (less than the cost of an H&M dress!)
It was a wonderful birthday! Thank you everyone who contributed to me smiling so much, my eyes disappeared (see first photo).

Happy Birthday! Wicked is SUCH a great show. I saw it with the original cast back in 2003 and was completely blown away. My boyfriend has never seen it, but like you, has wanted to since it came out, so that’s my Valentine’s Day gift to him. I think he’ll be pleasantly surprised!

Aw yay! Happy belated birthday! I’m glad it was so much fun – totally deserved considering how hard you have been working lately. And you look amazing, of course. That dress is phenomenal and I’m totally jealous you scored it at such a great price!
And you’re not the only one in denial of being in your mid-twenties
