Birthday Week

Whew I had a great weekend. I love being in Oxford and Double Decker is pretty awesome. Patrick and I had a great time - even when we were running home in the torrential downpour Saturday night!

So guess what! It's my birthday week! And I have a confession. I'm one of those people who loves my birthday. You know, the annoying person who lets everyone know at least 2 weeks ahead of time that it's coming up, celebrates for the entire month week just because, feels like the day should be rewarded in excessive amounts of cake, and typically has some sort of social event surrounding the day. Yep, that's usually me. Except this year, my birthday has completely and totally snuck up on me. I'm not quite sure where April has gone, but here we are and it's almost May and I'm almost 24. EEEEK. Cue the balloons and confetti... and gifts! Here are a few things that I think are great gifts - for myself or any twenty something girl.

Wedding Bells and Gifts

We've gotten to that age and that time of the year where it seems like weddings are taking over our summers and before we know it, it's fall. Yikes! While weddings are incredibly fun and exciting, they can also be exhausting. And eventually, you may run out of gift ideas for the bride and groom. While it's easy and efficient to turn to the couple's registry, sometimes it's fun to be a little bit more creative. Here are a few of my personal picks for couples everywhere.

Jonathan Adler Letter Pillow  // Perfect addition to the newlywed's home.

Crate and Barrel Corn Picks // This seems silly, but with summer in full swing, these will come in handy! Plus, they are a great color. Add some salad tongs and cutting board and any grill master will love this gift.

Mr. and Mrs. Cocktail Glasses // These are just too cute not to give a newly married couple. Agree?

Kate Spade Illustrated Cake Plate // Because there are certain to be many celebrations that require cake and a great cake plate.
