I’m officially 25 now! I feel so…wise. And by that I mean I feel absolutely the same. Just a teeny tiny bit worse for wear after a few glasses of wine last night.
I had such a great birthday yesterday – lots of food, lots of love and lots of fun times with friends. I’m celebrating later today with my family and from the hints my sister has dropped, I have a lemon and raspberry cheesecake to look forward to!!! Anyone who knows me knows I’m obsessed with anything lemon, especially when combined with raspberries. I actually eat lemon curd out of the jar. It’s…disgusting.
So Monday’s post featured a birthday present from my little sister, and today’s post features my older sister’s present to me – this beautiful maxi from Everly, which we picked up from Barefoot Contessa! I feel like I’m still a bit pale for the soft colours but Maui is just around the corner now and I fully plan on returning to my bronzed summer self. SO excited.
Oh and thank you so much to everyone who sent me birthday wishes yesterday – it really means a lot!
Happy humpday loves. xx
happy belated birthday girl … you look wonderful, I just love that dress!!

What a gorgeous birthday present! It looks beautiful on you! Glad to hear you had a nice birthday! Enjoy that raspberry lemon cheesecake. I'm not a fan of cheesecake but I love lemon and raspberry together, too. Especially with lemon merengue. Okay I'm going to stop now cause I'm salivating at my desk.
happy birthday, gorgeous! you look good in any color, any time of day! have a fabulous day!!
You look lovely! This dress is such a beautiful print and styled beautifully with other neutrals and just the perfect turquoise pop! Love it! Also, where are the shoes from? I love them!

Happy birthday again, Alex! You look gorgeous! The big 2-5 🙂 I'm about to be there myself actually.
Mm, lemon. I agree any desserts with lemon are soooo good although I've never quite reached the point where I ate lemon curd out of the jar 😛 Nutella maybe..
Happy belated birthday! I love this outfit, especially love that you wore that turquoise bracelet with it – it's so contrasting 🙂

Happy birthday dear. I wish you a lot of new clothes and shoes for this new year.

Happy (belated) birthday! Enjoy your cheesecake, it sounds delicious 🙂
your presents are pretty, i took a peek of the other ones too, i think the blue color is more bold and though you sink a little bit here, the length still made you appear like wonderful mannequin. Happy Birthday!
Happy (now belated) birthday!
I absolutely love these colours on you. That blazer is just gorgeous!
What a beautiful maxi dress. It's sophisticated and sexy – perfect dress for a 25th birthday. Hope you had a great one and your loved ones spoiled you rotten!
I'm so glad to hear you had a great birthday, pally – you deserve it 🙂 And you definitely got some very impressive gifts to add to your closet, this Everly maxi is a dream. It looks beautiful now but I think it's going to look even better on the the beach in Maui 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful celebration tonight, and I can't wait to see your beautiful face next week!
xox,
Cee
Aw, sounds like a fantastic day for you! Glad it was 🙂

Ummm, you can sign me up for some of that lemon and raspberry cheesecake! Have you ever had Krispy Kreme doughnuts? They're a staple here in the South and they make lemon filled and raspberry filled doughnuts. They are heaven!
Such a great pattern on the dress!
This maxi is so gorgeous, it has amazing tones in it and is perfect on you!! Love it with this jacket too. I am impressed you're only a little worse for wear after birthday celebrations 🙂

Glad you had a great bday..if you wore that blue dress from the previous post..well..that's a really cool look… I always wear red on my birthdays…it's my favorite color but I save it for special ocassions..my birthday, christmas or new year, perhaps a huge event in town or something like that… and the rest of the year I'm wearing black haha… anyway..cool dress in this post.. perfect for summer
I love that dress – such a beautiful pattern and colors!
I love this look! Nah, you aren't pale. If you want to see pale then check out the post I did a few days ago. Sheesh, I probably shouldn't be sporting shorts with my winter white legs!

Hi, Alexandra! Thank you very much for taking the time and leaving another comment on my blog, I really appreciate it!
It is pleasant to hear that you had a great birthday party 🙂 You know, I turned 25, too, just a few weeks ago, and I also celebrated with a very small amount of people.
This is a beautiful present you got from your sister (you are lucky to have so many 😛 ), I love how you added the turquoise touch to the beige and brown.
awe thanks alexandra!! thank you for the compliment, and i can only return in back- this outfit is so lovely~ I love how you can do orange like that, I can't pull that off =( love the slight pop of color on your wrist. It's always that tiny little accessory that does an outfit. xO!

Ooooh, the lining and elbow patches make that blazer super covetable in my book!
Hi sweety, good to hear that the birthday went off with a bang! I think this is the first time I'm seeing you in a maxi dress…you look beautiful, you have the height to pull it off with grace. Like the addition of the blazer, so chic!
Gorgeous maxi and happy birthday! I'm gearing up for mine tomorrow…it will involve wine for sure.
