Wait, how old am I again?
I never even got used to telling everyone I was 22… now I have to remember that I’m 23?! 
I was spoiled rotten by my favorite person in the entire world and he made this birthday the best birthday yet! Though it was supposed to rain all weekend, the Lord knew I needed a tan so when I woke up early Saturday morning to get my nails done (compliments of my sweet man), the sun was beaming and I was praising sweet baby Jesus. I then proceeded to Starbucks after my hands and feet went on a mini-vacay and got a free drink because the world knew I was the birthday princess… duh.
We checked into our hotel downtown way early and there we received amazing customer service. I highly recommend the Sheraton Dallas Downtown by the way… amazing suites, upgrades to the club floor (which was so worth it), fantastic staff and yummy food! The front desk agent, Raven, that checked us in threw in a $50 drink credit for us because she was the bomb.com and wanted to wish me a happy birthday. UM, yes please. So Hunter and I laid poolside on a comfy canopy bed with drinks on Raven. After baking in the Texas heat for two hours, we ate lunch and lounged watching HGTV (my fave) until it was time to get ready for the night. My bestie Lindsay of FixorNix.com, her boyfriend KC, and our friend Danny joined us as we headed down the hall to the club lounge reception to have hors d’oeuvres, beers and wine. After a good buzz we Ubered to Social House where the rest of the night was spent drinking with loving friends and lots of laughter.
The next day honey and I woke up early for breakfast in bed, watched old teenage movies and lounged around thanks to late check out. Then Hunter, being the most amazing boyfriend, took me shopping at NorthPark… a very daring move. And after draining his bank account (not really), we had dinner and game night with my crazy family! It is safe to say that this was absolutely an amazing birthday (mostly thanks to my handsome man) and that this is probably the longest post I’ve ever written (sorry!). A big thank you to those who wished me a happy birthday and to those of you who endured this post!
My outfit for Saturday night was by far one of my favorites. The shoes? I bought them at Ross for $24.99. Crazy good deal on my new faves! The dress? $17.99 at Image. What, what! The statement necklace? BaubleBar, 20% off! If you didn’t take advantage of their sale this weekend… you’re just insane. Get this outfit with the links above!

      It's so easy!!!! All I do is split my hair in half, twist and wrap my hair like I'm putting it in a bun and pin either side with two long sturdy bobby pins! Then viola! Try it and let me know how it goes!!

    Just a lovely outfit overall & I am obsessed with the shoes. I'm so glad you had such an amazing birthday & that everything worked out so well for you. The drink voucher from Raven sounds amazing…can she call every hotel I check in to each week? Because I need drink vouchers! Lovely post (and not long at all- I enjoyed reading it!) xx

      Um YES. We all need drink vouchers!!! I'd totally hook you up with Raven if I knew her cell. We'd be besties if I got her number hahaha
