Shakespeare’s Birthday Party

My former SMU gal pals have started a theatre company in LA called Little Candle Productions.  They are hosting a fundraiser tonight for their upcoming show, The Winter’s Tale.  What better way to raise money than by celebrating the birth of the playwright himself, Mr. Willie Shakes!  In case you were wondering, he would have been 448 today.  Now, if I know some of these gals like I do, there is a chance that they might just come in full Elizabethan garb (Allison).  However, if I were able to attend, I think I might go with just a slight nod to the era by sporting a dramatic ruffled collar and some show stopping jewels.  If you’re in LA, I’d highly suggest joining in the festivities tonight which will include Shakespeare themed libations and a trivia contest!  More info here!

Somewear: Birthday Lunch at 4510 on Flag Day

 

Today is my girlfriend, Libby’s absolute favorite holiday: Flag Day.  Coincidentally enough it also happens to be her birthday!  Libby always likes to dress the occasion, but on this day- well, it really takes the cake.  The girls are all having lunch at 4510 to celebrate and what better way for her to really steal the B-Day girl spotlight than with this adorable number!  It gives a slight patriotic nod to the flags, while at the same time making a memorable statement with bright and cheerful accessories!

Somewear: Birthday Party Picnic

So, you’re a little overdressed to really frolic in the park, but listen- 

you’re the birthday girl, so dressing down is out of the question.  But 

you’re not completely impractical: a hat for the shade and flats for 

the grass.  Plus, I’m sure you’ll be offered the VIP luggage seats, 

anyway.
