Ah, the time is almost upon us for AM’s annual birthday celebrations!

Although the plans have not yet been set, I’ve been thinking about it and am looking forward to another fun night with good friends.

But, to make me even more happy, here are the things I’ve been lusting after lately…

1. This credit sized compact from Trish McEvoy. Great colors and super cute.

2. Purse from Ann Taylor Loft…it’s professional, polished, and oh so pretty.

3. I love this set of placemats and dishes from Crate & Barrel (yes, I know they don’t match - I didn’t mean for them to be used together).

4. And you really can’t go wrong with anything asian inspired - plates, bowls, wall hangings…especially with cherry blossoms. I also love this entire set. Beautiful!

5. I love clothes. And these shirts from FCUK…so hot. I sweat them.


Ah, but aside from my wishful thinking, I’m looking forward to seeing Nick Lachey in concert with my bff/life partner, and to a fabulous birthday dinner (possibly at Maggiano’s?) and then a night (or two) out on the town. Hopefully it will be just as good as last year. I’m contemplating holding the festivities at either Felix, Chloe, Play, or K Street. Mostly because I have hook ups at those places and I want to dance! A nice lounge/sitting area is key as well.

So here’s to birthdays and all the fun that comes with them!
