Someone’s *29 today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Steph, aka Wabbit!

One of the strongest, funniest, prettiest, most inappropriate, kindest people I know, our birthday girl is currently nearing the end of her 35+ trek across the country to her new home in So Cal!:

And in a matter of hours will be beginning her newest journey just two hours south of me in San Dieeeeeego:

Words can’t express how excited I am to have my bestie and co-blogger living a couple hours from me; I lie awake at night like a kid on Christmas Eve! Steph, hurry up and get here – you’ve got some stuff waiting for you:

(Left: Santa Monica, where Steph and I will be let loose like a pack of wild hounds this weekend | Right: The pot de creme from Gjelina, which we’ll be gorging on this Saturday night for Steph’s bday dinner!

Oh and GusGus – don’t worry – there’s plenty here for you too. You’re gonna have a new playground that looks a little something like this:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE!!! We all love you so much and are so proud of you!

Love,

*Age rounded down give or take a few years

I turn 29 for, oh, the 5th time next week, and so – in the spirit of a giddy 4th grader – I thought I’d round up a list of just a *few* little things I’ve been drooling over… just in case Santa or the Easter Bunny or my Fairy Godmother is listening. Can you tell I’m gearing up for warmer weather??

1 – Auntie Oti Color Napkin Set: equally as gorgeous as they are über relaxed and effortless. Perfect for dining al fresco.

2 – Illesteva Milan Round Sunglasses: updated 90’s cool. I’ll take it.

3 – Boys and Arrows & L*Space Suits from Pink & Navy Boutique: The owner of this Anna Maria Island shop, Janae, has the best eye of anyone I’ve ever encountered. We foam at the mouth over everything in her store. Follow them on Instagram, and call (941) 567-4000 to order when you see something you can’t live without.

4 – Lemon Tree: All I ever wanted was one of these in my backyard.

5 – Marc by Marc Jacobs Softie Saddle Large Hobo: I died and went to heaven when I saw this last weekend at Nordstrom. I might have to break down and buy it for myself as a Breakup / Big Life Change / Happy Birthday to Me present. #whoops

6 – Erie Basin Antique Ring: This is already sold, but a girl can (pipe) dream.

7 – John Robshaw Jammu Bolster Pillow: Karrie and I saw this while we were taking a spin around heaven – I mean, Bixby & Ball, last month… I swear, it was smiling down at me from its perch atop a dreamy shelf full of pillows. And that grapefruit + golden olive color combo is completely unexpected and completely delightful.

Happy Shopping, kids! Just kidding…

…not really, Mom & Dad.
