back to my post - on my actual birthday i headed into downtown LA with my mom {what a great shopping buddy} for some quality time and to get some much needed items that i can't get locally in orange county. we had high hopes of making it out to tai pan trading in ontario, if you haven't been there GO! alas we got stuck in a ton of traffic leaving LA, so we bypassed and met my dad, bro, SIL, and nephews for a looong dinner, but that's another story!
while in DTLA i picked up some fun new things for future accessory ideas...
very bling-y & will be very bridal!
my mom also bought me this awesome orchid arrangement while we were in the flower district
- love it!
after our big day and lengthy dinner {but great quality family time} i finally made in home in time find my jet-lagged half asleep hubs at home with my second floral gift of the day... my all time favorite roses!
what a guy...
the following night my friends and their spouses joined us out for a fun night at a local deli & piano bar - and we were pleasantly surprised that the food was great, with huge portions, and the music was great too! i highly recommend the Derby deli & dueling piano bar in Mission Viejo,
for all of you in orange county!
here's a photo of the girls from that night
and here are my birthday gifts to myself:
a two tone bracelet with silver chain and gold hammered circles at the center of the bracelet, got lots of compliments on this one, so i think this could be making it's way to the shop soon!
i also made myself some big and sparkly earrings for the evening too:
these are a gold webbed component with golden shadow swarovski teardrops along with what i like to call gold disc balls... this photo doesn't even show off how sparkly these earrings are!
while this past week was a crazy one, i'm glad it's passed and we're moving on with this new year and i hope 27 is a great year!
