B I R T H D A Y P A R T Y

The month of October is a big month in our house. We have two birthdays, both celebrated several times and to the max, and of course there is Halloween at the end of the month... This time our traditional home-birthday party was at the beginning of the month.

Sisterhood - and two birthday girls

It was tough to agree on a theme for the party. The closest we came up to agreeing was unicorns. So everyone got a  unicorn necklace, and the little ones played a pin the horn on the unicorn party game :-)

Faux fur is in - from the smallest fashionistas to bigger ones... 

You know your guests are having a good time when they start playing dress up and taking selfies. 

Whack that piñata.   Watch out people! 

Don't touch my piñata loot. 

The crime scene. 

Two birthday girls, two cakes.  This is cake #1. 

Cake #2. 

Birthday = Presents.  
Not sure the amount of presents these girls got is exactly healthy, but I guess that is the norm these days...

My Birthday picnic in Instagram Pictures

I took my crew to my favorite spot in Sands Point for a picnic to celebrate my bd last Saturday. It was a lovely, picture perfect afternoon, and I felt I was living life to the fullest. If I could just bottle that feeling!

Happy August / New old shoes

I have always loved August. Partly because it's my birth month, and partly because it's the time of year when you feel fresh after a vacation and reflect on the months past, take stock of how the year has gone so far, change course if necessary, and start new exciting things. And it's still summer! This year I have taken more stock than usual because my birthday's a biggie. I did have to mentally adjust but the result is that I am happy where I am. Of course there are always a few things that we would change if we could.. I have no regrets though, and that feels good.

On style front, I am wearing a pair of Nine West open toe pumps that have been in my closet for about a year. Not sure why I never wore them before, because I love them. And these look great with my black and white Marimekko dress. I really need to start shopping more in my own closet. The new rule should be that nothing new should come in unless all the existing stuff has been worn at least once!
