Birthday (treat yo' self) Five

I've mentioned a couple times that it's my birthday month. My birthday still isn't here, it's the 30th, and yet I feel the whole month is an excuse to treat myself, because well, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY.
 


 
 
So the spending freeze has gone a little bit out the window. I have treated myself to a few things, and plan on a couple more.
 
So here are my birthday (treat yo' self) five!
 
I got this on clearance via a sale they had a few weeks ago. I paid a little under $100 for it, and I know that is a lot, but I use my wallet EVERYDAY so it seems reasonable to me. I had been using the same Fossil wallet for the past 7 years, so it was time for an update! A pretty, bow-clad Kate Spade update!

I ordered these from zulily during one of their TOMS sales. I have been wanting a crochet pair forever and just haven't taken the leap. These bright aqua beauties are going to be perfect for adventuring around DC in May!



Like I have mentioned before I'm trying to figure out this lipstick thing. Many of my bloggy friends recommended this brand so I went for it. While I am truthfully not in love with this color (it's too close to my natural lip color), I am impressed by the stay power! Definitely going to get a brighter color that you can actually see next time.
 
 

I have 5 weddings to attend this year so far. So naturally I'm in the market for some new dresses to wear to them! Even though I have plenty at home to choose from, I just couldn't resist this floral number for only $25 especially with that back detail!
 
 

Sometimes you just have to spend those birthday bucks your favorite store sends you! So I headed to the LOFT with my $15 off birthday card and purchased this coral button down and matching floral shirt. They are the perfect layers for spring!!! (that's me on the right)



How do you treat yourself during your birthday?
 



Have a wonderfull weekend!

  1. Spending freezes don't exist during birthday month. It's just like...a basic rule. All these things are super cute and will be lovely during summer! Especially loving those TOMS.

  2. I think you need that wallet! I always get really good ones from may aunt or grandma at Christmas, currently I am using a coach one that also doubles as a wristlet, and they are totally worth it!

  8. That wallet is fabulous!!! My husband ordered me a purse from the Kate Spade surprise sale this week! I am a huge fan of anything Kate Spade :) Hurray for the Rimmel gloss! There are so many great shades, so hopefully you will find one that you like. I love those shirts you scored from the Loft, along with that awesome dress from Target! That back is fabulous! Have a great weekend!

  12. Birthday gifts don't count as "spending." They're a requirement and thus absolved from any spending freezes.

  13. I LOVE my Kate Spade wallet. I bought my Mom a similar one to the one you have when I was in Vegas last summer and people compliment her on it all.the.time. I wish I would have bought myself the same one too :( haha

    Those Toms are so cute! Also, I spy your phone case in that outfit picture and LOVE IT!

    I usually treat myself to a trip to Vegas for my birthday... haha

  15. I am obsessed with that dress! I love dresses with that fit and flare style that has a lil' something special going on - a cut out or pockets or something. I keep thinking about a new wallet when KS has those online sales. I'm in love with yours. And all of your picks!
