My dear friend and fellow SCAD alum Devin Borden gifted me this work of art for my birthday. I've been asking Devin for one of his bug pieces for quite some time now and he finally followed through. I could not be more pleased with my gift, thank you Devin!

Birthday Blazer
Dandy DIY
This afternoon I stopped by one of my fav thrift stores after a brunch date with Abby and found these little beauties. I was most attracted to the color, part dove grey part old lady orthopedic, I had to have them! At a whopping $10 who could say no?
Now what to do about those weak tassels? I gathered up some trim I had lying around and got to work.
Using some jacquard ribbon and small buckles I constructed a couple bows to apply. Once completed I stitched them right on top of the tassels. Handsome, no?
I'm quite pleased with the outcome and with fashion week just around the corner I'm dying to take them out for a spin!

Oh What a Night
Thank you so much to all my friends for making my special day the best one to date. What a blast!
One of my two yummy cakes from Sugar Sweet Sunshine.
I made the crown out of pipe-cleaners for a whopping $2 and the sash out of some spare fabric and trim I had lying around.
Crazy Balloon Bouquet from the Balloon Saloon.
Thank you Nick and Brendan for hosting the party at your building, hope I didn't get you evicted!

Special thanks to my best friend in the entire world Brendan for making sure I didn't have a care in the world all night and that everything went off without a hitch. Thank you so much Yaya you made my Birthday everything and then some!
