WHAT TO WEAR TO: YOUR BIRTHDAY

 THE SCENE:  it's your birthday, holla! You're in New York to celebrate, wanting a not-so quiet girls night out and you're more than ready to paint the town red. You'll take a town car downtown to an uber cool Moroccan restaurant where you'll indulge in your favorite North African delicacies. Following that, (copious) drinksies at a rooftop bar two blocks south. The men will be dapper, the chandeliers decadently lavish  and twinkling under the night sky. There will be fresh blooms as far as the eye can see and most importantly the cocktails will be plentiful and continuously overflowing.

Yes it's my birthday today and that means I have officially moved into that oh-so dreaded late twenties age bracket. But between you, me and the world as a whole I will forever be 26 for as long as I can get away with it. And if my wonderful cousin Paul is reading this, don't you go blurting otherwise dammit! I'll keep your secret if you keep mine buddy. I want to send colossal thank you's to all those lovely people who took the time to actually read my previous post Meloncholia. I know it was a long one and I probably sounded like a massive Debbie-Downer. I can't tell you how truly appreciative I am for all those sweet messages and reminders. You guys helped me put things into perspective and boy am I indebted to you. Not just for reading those rambles but for the words of encouragement. So much love for you guys right now.

    Happy Birthday Sonia!!! Have a wonderful time in the city. Be safe, be careful and have FUN!!!

    P.S. Where's the splash of red. A girl always needs to be reminded of the "mean reds" even on her birthday:)

    Happy happy birthday Sonia! I'm TOTALLY with you. I just turned 27 at the end of December and for once, I actually felt old since I was like wow, I'm in the upper 20's bracket now heheh. Hope you have a great time celebrating and I'm excited to see your bday outfit!

    I've decided to adopt you as my first official blog friend! Your comment was so long and thought out and great! Thanx for taking the time to really respond to me and not with some half hearted comment either. You're amazing :)

    Oh right.. I WISH I was in NYC for my birthday!! Phwoar. But I guess London isn't too shabby is it?
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my new blog friend - I hope you have a wonderfully memorable day and an even more splendid evening. No doubt you will celebrate in style (literally).

    Before dealing with health issues, I used to dread my birthdays and getting older but being unwell can really put things into perspective and now I look at every birthday as a gift. And age is just a number anyway. You will be fabulous no matter how old you are Sonia. Happy birthday fellow Aquarius! Hope your celebration is totally amazing!

    You have excellent taste! This is most definitely a look I would love to celebrate my birthday in and especially those heels! However, most importantly.. Happy Birthday!! I had missed your previous post that you claim to have sounded like a Debbie-Downer through, so I've read it and honestly I just had to say that it is never too late to pursue your dreams! Not that appearances matter with regard to pursuing dreams, but you look as though you are much younger and so just convince yourself you are. This would seem like a good time to mention that I really admire your writing and your blog in general has quickly become one of my favourite destinations in the blogging world. As far as blogging goes, I'm very happy to have you around and with regard to whatever your dreams may be, keep chasing them Sonia! :)
