HBD… to me!
Since I already had my big bday celebration, I am laying low today… catching up on some work & recapping the most insane birthday party of my LIFE for you guys.
Sorry in advance for the huge photo dump + semi-personal post, but really, my surprise bday brunch was the stuff dreams are made of & I just couldn’t wait to share with you all. Looking at these photos honestly make me want to cry. Cry because I am so so so lucky to have so many great people around me, & cry because it’s over (because it isn’t a proper birthday with out some tears, right?). I just wish I could relive that day over & over again!!!
Before we get into it, a few thank you’s are needed.
Whitney (my sister): I am so grateful for you dealing with my micro-managing ways (she was so annoyed with me trying to secretly hint at things I wanted) & planning me a party better than I could have EVER imagined.
My friends: thank you for always supporting me, being there for me, & for helping put together this insane event. Also, UM…. thank you for all coming together & getting me the absolute best present ever. You guys can see the big reveal now on Snapchat (un: fashionlush!).
Jenny Wenny Cakes: for creating me the most beautiful marble cake I have ever seen. I wanted to put it in a plastic bubble & save it forever (but we didn’t & it was delicious!!).
Mom & Dad: for really being the real reason behind all of this (since you created me). I love you guys to the moon & back. I couldn’t have asked for better parents if I chose them myself. Also, Dad- thanks for the endless mimosas at my brunch!!!
My entire family: I literally have the best, coolest, sweetest family in the entire universe. Big thanks to my cousin Julie who flew from Atlanta to surprise me. I was blown away with all the love!!!
Arielle Levy: my photographer AND FRIEND. I am so lucky to have met this girl & so appreciative that she snapped all these beautiful photos for me. Memories I will cherish forever!
& MOST IMPORTANTLY, my amazing/spectacular/loving boyfriend: Zack, if you’re reading this, I don’t know where I would be without you. You are my best friend & my world. Zack made an entire montage of my life and it was really the icing on the cake. You can see it below, if you’re interested in baby Fashionlush!!
Okay, now, for the photos! Enjoy & also— thank you all for being an insanely supportive group of readers whom I adore! x, Erica
