I turn 36 in about two weeks, and I am looking forward to celebrating the occasion with champagne and a new dress. How to choose? Below, my top picks for the occasion (please weigh in!):
THIS LUG VON SIGA (LOOK FOR LESS WITH THIS)*
THIS MAJOR FLORAL ORGANZA STATEMENT (LOVE)
EITHER THIS WHITE EYELET AJE OR THIS OVER THE TOP OTS ONE
ANOTHER WHITE EYELET CONFECTION (THIS ONE UNDER $80)
THIS BROCK COLLECTION I HAVE BEEN OGLING FOR A FULL SEASON
*Note that it’s styled with the Loewe straw bag I am lusting after…a sign?!
Also: more outfit ideas for a festive occasion on this list, a contender for daytime festivities ($59!), and a drop dead gorgeous gown for a future black tie occasion (on sale, plus extra 25% off with code SPOTLIGHT).
Birthday wishlist (more great gift ideas for women here):
A BABYSITTER
A NEW PAIR OF LAKE PAJAMAS OR THIS DOEN NIGHTGOWN
MORE JULISKA BERRY & THREAD PIECES — WHETHER IN THE FLORAL OR PLAIN WHITE; PERFECT, ELEGANT BUT STURDY EVERYDAY DISHES
A PRETTY PERSONALIZED CHAIN WITH EMORY AND HILL’S NAMES INSCRIBED, LIKE THIS
THESE NICOLA BATHIE BUTTERFLY EARRINGS — I CANNOT STOP BUYING HER EARRINGS!
P.S. Musings on turning 34 and musings on turning 35. Will it surprise you that I have very little new insight to share on the shape of my life as I turn 36? This year has been a wild ride and when I haven’t been entirely consumed by my children, I’ve been humbled by the chaos of the lives of so many others.
P.P.S. Love these wet-dry bags (currently on sale, with free shipping) for the children and am very curious about this “mermaid serum” (on sale right now) that is getting a lot of press. I need another serum like I need a hole in my head but I’m still intrigued.
P.P.P.S. More sizes of those white swim trunks for your man on Father’s Day (and more gift ideas here), and the card I’m sending my Dad.
