Remember when I went to the H&M Fashion Against AIDS collection pre-launch? Well, that night I bought a necklace to give to one of Style Blog’s readers as a sort of “thank you” for all your support! And what better time to give something away than on my birthday?
This necklace is definitely not for everyone, but if you like it, here’s what you need to do to enter!

It’s my birthday next week! Hooray for cake, not-so-hooray for the aging part…
Above is my birthday wish list, in case you want to send me a little something-something. I do love birthday gifts, I won’t lie. And as any shopaholic, the few latest items I’ve been coveting are slightly outrageous…well, not horrendously outrageous, but definitely things that I would not buy myself (oh, and also tough to find, since some of them are a few seasons old). And though there’s obviously no Birthday Santa out there (is there???), it doesn’t hurt to throw it out in the universe and see who hears me, right?
I would also love to hear about your birthday wish-lists! Is there anything that you would really love to get on your birthday, that you would not buy for yourself? Let me know in the comments!
I just realized, after reading the lovely Some Kind of Style’s post, that today is a very special day! It’s the original Style Fille and my favorite style icon’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Audrey Hepburn, Princess Ann, Jo Stockton, Holly Golightly, Eliza Doolittle, Joanna Wallace…Her movies have had a huge impact on both my style and my life, and they’ll always hold a dear spot in my heart.
Birthday in less than 1 week. Panic is starting to set in. Only 5 years till I’m 30!!! Time is a-running out, yet so many things on “the list” are left untouched and unfinished…Welcome to my yearly birthday freak out.
This year, I am getting much closer to the big 3-0 mark… This year should be worse. But this year is different. Different, because at this moment, actually feel very content. And feel like for the first time in a little while have time to actually live my life and be happy (stop and smell the tulips, lilacs, etc).
Got no complaints and no regrets. And to celebrate all this happiness, I will stuff myself into a Herve Leger inspired dress by H&M. Put an oversized Zara “boyfriend” blazer on. Wrap a hardcore-hardware belt around my waist and stick my feet into Zanotti-esque Balmain-ish Aldo shoes. Will dance till no longer am able to stand. Will drink Malibu and Pineapple juice (or Coronas). Will not think about the unaccomplished, but instead will celebrate the items crossed off my list. Like swimming with the dolphins, or visiting my best friend in Switzerland, or finally getting my Canadian Passport. Instead of dreading being “another year older, none wiser”, will seize the day and……..Oh, who am I kidding??? I am 1 Jello cup, 2 grey hairs and 5 back pains away from the nursing home! I hate birthdays!
