It's Ma Birfday!

By Isa | Published Tuesday, January 15, 2013


Yep yep yep yep you heard right! Yours truly just turned 22 today (and can't seem to stop thinking OH EM GEE I'M ALMOST DEAD). Indeed, I shall be treating myself to some well-deserved birthday fabulosity when I get home from work! Which shall consist of... buying myself a cake from the cake place up the street (always smells divine) and... lounging around all evening (this is actually quite the treat as lately I've been working from 9 am to 10 pm every day). I've already canceled all my English classes. I'm so excited! Relaxation!

LACE DRESS BB Dakota from Shopbop (similar here) |
 BLAZER ASOS Boyfriend Blazer | WALLET Kate Spade (similar here and here) |
 RING market in Thailand | PENDANT gift from Boyf from Mignon Faget |
 CHARM BRACELET gift, from Agatha Paris | 
BALLET FLATS Marc by Marc Jacobs from Net-A-Porter


But while my birthday gift to you guys is this outfit, this is one of those unfortunate years where I am too broke to really get myself a tangible present (maybe I can convince the rents to go in on some new work clothes in honor of my double double digits?). Honestly, though, all I really want is a JOB, and the only way I can get myself one of those is by writing lots of cover letters and spending lots of hours tweaking my résumé and hoping to god that someone sees my application in the sea of desperate recent graduates' applications and decides that I do, actually, look like the ideal candidate for their job and they WANT TO ORDER 50 COPIES OF THIS ONE, PLEASE, and bee tee dubs do you think it's okay if I start a cover letter with "Dear Sir or Madam: TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY AND ALL I WANT IS A JOB PLEASE MAKE A POOR GIRL'S YEAR AND HIRE ME"?

  11. i can 100% RELATE to only wanting a job!! I've spent at least an hour everyday for the last 6 months trying to find one and I graduated with my masters in June. SO frustrating!!! So stressed! But it will happen for both of us, eventually!!! Happy Birthday!!

  13. Happy 22nd birthday! I remember when turned 22 (which was last year so really not that long ago) I couldn't believe i was the youngest in my family .. I wonder how my parents must feel!? I am a student as well and I wish I just had a full time job already because I just like too many clothes and accessories. That lace dress is so lovely and you looked gorgeous!

  24. Oh dear! I hate that feeling (I follow tons of fashion blogs and it seems at least half of them have unlimited credit and at least50 pairs of Louboutins and Jimmy Choos, so I know the feeling well). It actually makes me feel kind of snobbish to hear you say that! But if it makes you feel any better, it was what I asked my parents for for Christmas, I'm totally broke as well. The last pair of shoes I bought for myself cost $25. And that's pretty much my limit atm.

  25. Aaaaahahaha I'm so sorry! I just seem to always have this urgency in my life, like I'm running out of time to do awesome things, you know? And this is my first birthday out in the real world, and so it's really starting to sink in. I just don't know if I can do everything I want to do before I die!

  27. I loved being a student because I felt so much more justified in spending what little I had on clothes and accessories! Now I keep thinking, but I have to save it for rent and chocolate... I'm so terrified of going into debt.

  42. Such a pretty dress ! Cute bracelet and wallet. :)

    Thanks for the comment on my blog. The crystals in my ring are Swarowski stones. :) All silver items at Glitter (with stones) where this ring is from, have these crystals. And what's the best part is that the jewelry they sell isn't too expensive.
