What I did for my Birthday: Fergie -Bingo, Taupe

Ciao a tutti!

A beautiful end to a fun-filled-jam-packed-birthday-adventure, I got to see an American classic, Casablanca, on the big screen.  Not sure why I haven't seen this World War II era black and white film, but having the opportunity to see the movie as it was originally intended, was well worth the wait.  And my praline-topped butter pecan ice cream served in a homemade waffle cone was the icing on the cake!

What I did for my Birthday: Exchange by Charles David -Spring

Ciao Amici!

Freshly sun-kissed from my morning at the beach, the next stop on my birthday adventure was the annual Asian Festival. Regaled from Geishia to Samurai and feasting on everything from Donburi to Soba, we enjoyed an afternoon of all things Asian!

I even got to speak a little Japanese:
Domo arigato (thank-you very much)!

What I did for my Birthday: Jessica Simpson -Heathery

Ciao a tutti!

Okay, my fellow Shoe-A-Holics...recovering from the Girls Night Out, was easier than I thought (I still got it!).  Next on the agenda was to get some nourishment...some birth-day nourishment. So, I slipped on these Jessica Simpson beauties which were begging to be worn along this convertible dress (which the jury is still out on ...why do the ties have to be so damn long???), and I headed out...

to IHOP...with my free breakfast coupon!

Yes, I am fully aware that my meal had no nutritional value,

but hey, the birthday only comes around once a year!

What I did for my Birthday: Misbehave -Belove, Black

Ciao, Amici!

The birthday celebration got off to an amazing start in these lovely stilettos from Misbehave!  Still a couple of days away, it was a Girls Night Out; eating, drinking and a cappuccino pie to top things off, there was only one question left to be answered: How much trouble can one get into in such a pair of sexy stems?

Bound by secrecy, from the other parties involved, I am not a liberty to divulge the remainder of the festivities of the evening.  But now I am wondering if I can check off #5 from my Bucket List: Misbehave with my Beloved's, if all charges were eventually dropped...need to investigate!

Baci a tutti!
