shiny, I'm really late to the party, but I am glad you had a wonderful birthday weekend! Beautiful belated birthday wishes for a beautiful, inspiring, fabulous you! Being petite (in height and proportions :-D) I have learnt a LOT from you about what to wear and where to shop. Thank you! ((hugs))

Your posts are always among my favourites to read here, because of all the thought that clearly goes into them. I always pay close attention to your opinions! I'm glad you had such a great day, and hope the year ahead is just as fab!

Shiny, I am really late here, but just wanted to say how much I appreciate your input on the forum, not only in the fashion inspiration you provide but also in the analytical and sympathetic comments you provide for the rest of us.

Glad you had a good day apart from the blisters

Happy belated birthday, dear Shiny! I'm so glad you had a terrific weekend. bummer about the KC wedges :(

Yay for Bebe jacket! It looks delicious and I can't wait to see it on you! I checked the website, and it looks like they have quite a few cropped styles. I'm so glad you found one so soon.

I did have a wonderful bday - thank you everyone!

DH and DD took me to a long brunch at my favorite restaurant (this one, if anyone is ever in the area and wants a real treat: http://www.craigieonmain.com... their specialty is cooking up organically grown, local vegetables in wonderful dishes. Not a vegetarian place - they just have really great respect for veggies and fruit. This is the type of place that Padma would approve of. ;-) Then my surprise was going on a Duck Tour. Don't laugh - I've never been on one and have always been intrigued!

I wore my KC metallic wedges - which I had thought I'd fully broken in - but unfortunately, by the end of the day, despite not really walking all that much, I was in agony with some blisters. I think when I got the pedicure recently they sloughed away my calluses. Oh no. :-(

For presents I got more of my favorite moisturizer, the new Kendall Farr book (about to retire to read it) and yes.... after conferring with my DD16 to get her opinion, I ended up with a Bebe bomber jacket... it's the purple-ish grey one here in the header bar (no longer available for sale):

It's been a long-time tradition of mine to treat my own self to a present from me to me.

Happy, happy birthday Shiny! It looks like you are already enjoying your pre-birthday (I'd love to see that film too) and that tomorrow has some fun surprises in store for you too.
Sorry to hear DD15 can't be there right now, but hey, I'm all for prolonged birthday festivities, so perhaps you could stretch them for another week or so. How does that sound?-)

Good luck at Bebe's today!!
