Cupcakes and Wine


I bought this wine solely based on the adorable label but Cupcake Vineyards won me over - affordable, tasty and again, adorable branding. 


I'm not one for big parties solely revolving around myself, but I've successfully proceeded to celebrate my birthday all week long with mini self-indulgences. Nightly glasses of wine, a luxurious afternoon spent reading my new book, Sarah's Key (have you read it? I can't put it down), new spiked bracelets and extra sweet treats -- just to name a few. 


Store bought sushi felt like a decadent lunch when placed on a Missoni for Target dish.


Forever 21 spiked bracelets (aka Edie Borgo minus the price tag).

Flowers from the Mr. in a Missoni for Target vase. He apparently googled how to make a flower arrangement... yep, he's a keeper.

Sarah's Key is one of the best books ever! I think it's being made into a movie with Cate Blanchett.
