Birthday party outfit

This is the outfit I will be sporting to celebrate my birthday party tomorrow evening with my friends!

Kate Spade dress with a black sash, to separate the colorful and metallic print! I wanted to keep the black color scheme for the footwear as well, the patent with add a little shine to complement the shimmer on the dress. Finally, since you know I love color, I will be adding a turquoise necklace to the outfit. Turquoise and pink are two of my favorite colors together and I think it will make for a fabulous outfit!

Thank you to all of my lovely followers and Twirling Clare fans. I love keeping up with the blog and I hope I inspire you, at least a little, to live life to the fullest and appreciate all of the little things!

Wishing you the happiest of weekends, Toodles!

Birthday excitement!

It's my Twenty-first birthday today!! Crazy, right?? 

I had a wonderful evening celebrating with close friends (and a fellow birthday twin turning 22) last night and had my first legal drink at the bar! Prior to the bar adventure we dined on beautiful birthday cake and champagne, it was wonderful! And I am so grateful for my friends being there with me throughout the evening!

This afternoon I am celebrating by going to an Art Gallery Opening at the Museum in town. I am taking a Managing Non-profit Arts Organizations class and as part of the course, we had to volunteer at a nonprofit for "lab" experience. I chose to work at the Art Museum and spent last week helping to set up the show. My teacher decided that instead of having class this morning, we would have our meeting time rescheduled and relocated to the Art Museum between 4-6 for the Gallery Opening. It should be a perfect birthday afternoon.

This weekend, I am throwing a birthday party with my closest friends, which happens to be 200 people... We are having a party at a restaurant in the town. I am super super excited!! Some of my friends who have graduated are coming back to celebrate for the weekend. It will be good music, good drinks, and fabulous company. Such a perfect way to celebrate a milestone year!

Most importantly, my parents and younger brothers will be coming up on Friday to take me out for dinner. It has been a month since I have seen them and I can't wait for their visit!

Sending you lots of celebratory vibes!

Red and Pink

How about?

Drinking a red cream soda with a bright pink straw. 

Carrying a red tote bag with a pink silk scarf tied on the handle.

Ordering strawberry ice cream for dessert, with a cherry on top. 

Also...LOVING these decorative chocolate covered strawberries!

Easy to do:

Clean strawberries

Melt chocolate on low heat on the stove (I recommend semi-sweet chocolate chips)

Dip strawberries in the chocolate sauce

For sprinkle decorations, set up different bowls of sprinkles. Roll the chocolate covered strawberries around to cover with as many sprinkles as you'd like. 

For chocolate drizzle, melt the chocolate in the same fashion. Take a small utensil with which you can dip into the chocolate sauce. Drizzle the chocolate over the strawberries. 

Place on a cookie sheet and refrigerate.

All set to eat and enjoy :)
