Birthday celebrations started early, the night before the actual date, when hubby asked me to pick a movie at the DVD store. On my return, the lights were off, but there were little candles on the kitchen table around the bouquet of Oriental Lillies I had received earlier in the day from my sister-in-law. Soft jazz was playing, a bottle of Bollinger chilling in the champagne bucket, and a big bright & shiny present waiting for me...It was such a beautiful start to the celebrations that were to follow...
Confit duck and lentil tortellini with persian fetta and radicchio, caramelised pear & hazelnut oil
I love sugar cubes!
Look at that gorgeous card with vintage Dior heels (contained a book voucher), the other present contained the below:
Kissi Stones (aka Soapstone) hearts - how cute are these?
Plenty of more champagne...
Black suede rose ring with freshwater pearls from Bauhaus
Birthday Outfit:
Roksanda Ilincic silk draped dress with Swarovski Crystals (I posted on this dress recently here)
Burberry black patent belt
Lanvin bicolour patent pumps with metal heel
Tom Binns Faux Real bracelet
Bauhaus suede rosette ring with freshwater pearls

ReplyDeletebe forewarned: twitter is so addictive it should be illegal. but it's a great way to keep up with what friends are doing and sort of works as a grapevine sometimes. haha. media law's pretty cool but so confusing. major respect for all lawyers out there!

You look stunning - I love the Lanvins! xx
ReplyDeleteThe thing I love about Roksanda's designs are the unexpected flashes of contrasting silks popping out from under a layer of dark fabric...and I love how that peachy champagne colour peeks out from the back of your dress almost like a little cape, it really is stunning and suits you so well! Do her dresses feel as good as they look?
ReplyDeleteThe shoes, the ring, and the Lanvin box all oooze gorgeousnessness-the sort of presents that I dream of! It sounds like you had a peach of a day :)

Thank you SO much for your lovely comments and birthday wishes everyone!
ReplyDeleteDakota Rico - LOVE Persian Fetta! Persian & Cypriate are my faves!
Martini - haha, I now have Jay-Z's 'It's your bday' in my head, you're too funny/cute!
Mariona & theesilkworm - Hehe, the Lanvin's weren't a birthday gift, I've had them for a few years, they're from AW06, I believe...
Oh, and theesilkworm - yes, the Roksanda silk feels so delicious against the skin, and because of the flowy design, so comfy! :) I would think her other dresses would to, she (Roksanda herself) always looks so comfortable in her own dresses....
xx to you all!
