Hey there shoe fans!  The summer solstice has passed so that officially means its time to say Happy Birthday to all of my fellow Cancers out there.  My Birthday is  June 23rd but there is no way I can get in all my celebrating on one day.  I must admit that I had a really amazing birthday gathering at one of my favorite local establishments last year but this year could def have the potential to top it.

Birthday Drinks with my good friend Meghan last year … Cheers!

So the first event on my Birthday agenda has already taken place.  My parents came down to visit me this past weekend in the big city of Charlotte, NC from my hometown in Davie County.  They normally come to visit for one afternoon every June and we have a Father’s Day/Birthday lunch.  This year I took them to this awesome new place that some of my guy friends work at called The Central Bar.  This is what I wore:

Spring Garden Maxi Dress from Forever 21

Buntjer Sunglasses from Aldo Accessories

Owl Dangle Earring from Hot Topic

Brown Rip Espadrille Wedge Sandals from Charles by Charles David

Coming up on the Birthday agenda for the rest of the week is def a dinner with my besties at my favorite Chinese place called 88 China Bistro.  Their Crab Rangoons are heavenly.  I’ll probably end up wearing something like this:

Printed Contrast Woven Dress in Teal/Navy from Forever 21

Glass Bead Holmer Necklace in Midnight Black from Aldo Accessories

Grey Leather and Gem Bracelet from Hot Topic

Black Wedge Braid Sandals from Charles by Charles David

At some point this week, my crew and I will without a doubt be finding some time to enjoy the patio and some adult beverages at another local favorite place of mine called The Philosophers Stone Tavern.  Not only does this place have yummy appetizers but some of my awesome girlfriends are stellar waitresses there.  I’m already planning my outfit for this evening and it will look a little something like this:

Double Button Woven LBD from Hot Topic

Snakeskin Hufton Purse with Silver Hardware from Aldo Accessories

Zebra Print Faux-Wooden Wedges with Purple and Silver Accents by Kensie Girl

Even though it isn’t until next Tuesday at midnight, I am still counting The Twilight Saga:  Eclipse premiere as part of my Birthday festivities.  I have already gotten a reserved block of seats for all of my Twi-Hard girlfriends and myself at The EpiCentre Theaters.  We started this tradition for New Moon and had too much fun sipping the special cocktails they made just for the midnight screening in this 21+ movie theater.  Comfort is key, so I’m gonna keep it casual in something like this:

Gray Vee Neck Stuna Shades Tee from Delia’s

Reese Boston Wash Cuffed Shorts from Delia’s

Grey and White Striped Teal Trim Shoulder Bag from Hot Topic

Teal Snakeskin Rusher Wedges by Fergie
