Friday The Story of the Birthday Dress

Dress - Golden Mimosas // Cardigan - old (similar) H&M // Boots - sold out (similar) Forever 21 // Sunglasses - Forever 21 // Watch - c/o UWA

Since I was a little girl, I used to get really excited about my birthday. Even though my birthday is in the middle of winter, still the love I get from family and friends makes it as bright and warm as a summer day. Over these years, my birthday day meant getting together with family and friends, eating a lot of delicious food, laughing over past memories, taking a lot of pictures, dancing & singing {especially when my aunts arrive, that's when all the dancing and singing starts}. A special tradition for my birthday was wearing a new dress made by my mom. Even though I am 6000 miles apart from my family, these traditions still continue! Yes, today is my birthday and is going to be the best birthday yet! I get to have two birthday celebrations; one in Albania and one in Utah. My mom makes me blow my candles over Skype as well. It's so much fun!

This lovely dress made by my wonderful mom, is my new birthday dress this year. This dress got my heart immediately! I love it!

Monday Happy Monday: What I Wore to Work

I hope you all had a great weekend! I sure enjoyed my last weekend before school starts. This will be my last semester so I am excited but in the same time I know it's going to be a super busy semester trying to manage school, work and other commitments I have! Among other things, I am thankful for this blog because it is going to be my getaway from the day to day life.

Thank you for all your lovely comments and support! It definitely means a lot to me.

Here is What I Wore to Work today!

I don't really like Mondays especially after a long break, so I needed to bright up my day in some other way. Thus the bright pink shirt!

Also have I told you about my new favorite Forever 21 boots? I got them for Christmas and I have been wearing them pretty much every day! They are very comfy and look great with any outfit. You will see them a lot more in my future posts.

Well, I wish you all a fab Monday!

Wednesday Sweet Surrender

It is again one of those days! The sun is shining and there is a nice little breeze that brings back memories of the last summer! I just felt like wearing my floral print shirt and my bright red jacket! I don't know if it's just me, but every time I wear bright colors during this season, I feel so in tune with the nature. I believe colors bring out the beauty in each of us!
