Happy Thursday, marblelous babes! I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that my new semester starts next week, eek! Can I fast forward to Thanksgiving + Christmas and skip the new semester altogether?
As some of you may already know, I turned 22 last week! I may not be a Taylor Swift fan, but I had the song “22” stuck in my head all day long on my birthday. My sweet boyfriend, bless his heart, bought me a bunch of mint green colored balloons and naturally, my first instinct was to take some birthday pictures!
Let me tell you, trying to capture the perfect shot with balloons is not as easy as I expected it to be. It also didn’t help that we were along the shoreline, which meant my hair and balloons were going crazy thanks to the wind. It was such a chaos and admittedly, I got a little frustrated. In the end, though, we managed to get some pretty decent shots.
Aren’t these marble and druzy bracelets from Kinsley Armelle just darling? You can use the code “MARBLELOUS” at checkout to get 15% off your order! I especially love it stacked with my beautiful Frankie Zebrawood & Champagne wood watch. Don’t forget that the international giveaway with JORD ends tomorrow, Aug 19! Click here to enter.
My dress is from Forever 21 but I got it about three years ago, but I have linked some of my favorite cutout maxi dresses below. Stay tuned for Part 2 of my birthday outfit! Until then, stay nice and cool in this heat!
Happy Birthday!! Love these shots! I bet there were some amazing bloopers with those balloons lol. Those bracelets are awesome!
