as you may or may not know, my birthday is coming up very soon… on january 20th to be exact. and i had a little birthday party on saturday to celebrate, along with some other lovely bay area bloggers and friends, new and old. the celebration was tons of fun and while i didn’t bring my camera, several of my blogger friends did. we were all a bit of a hot mess, so it shall be interesting to see if any photos pop up on the internet!
and this here is the outfit i chose to wear for the event, knowing that it was going to be a cold and rainy night in san francisco. it’s basically the same as this outfit dressed up with this awesome vintage fur collar that my mom gave me for christmas and my new remix vintage shoes. i am in love with the selection at this site and i am beyond excited about this particular pair, which are a replica of a pair of shoes from the 1940s. what makes them so special is that the little bows are actually removable shoe clips, which means i get to have fun finding new and different clips of all sorts, like pom-poms and rhinestones and ribbons galore.
in other news, it is a rainy day today. i have stayed inside listening to the likes of bert jasch, nick drake, and cat stevens, which is absolutely perfect for a gloomy day such as this.

I think is a fabulous outfit, simply gorgeous! totally love the fur collar! Happy Birthday (in advance) Many many many best wishes for your birthday!
Erin! Diana from ourcitylights told me you were a the Owl Tree on Saturday night which is funny because I was too! Although my boyfriend and I were there a little later because we had gone to see a show. We stayed at the hotel directly across the street. It would have been amazing to run into you and meet you haha. Happy early birthday toots!
this is cute! I almost wore fishnets today, too (layered over my yellow leggings) before opting out. It looked amazing, but not with the outfit I ended up wearing……next time…
I am in love with this outfit, the fur collar and just everything is perfect!!
