Happy Birthday Momma

Posted on Friday, March 12th, 2010 in Fashion

By the end of the winter I am in my annual fashion rut with worn out shoes, pilled sweaters, and dirtying coats. I have to confess I have been rather unglamorous with my get ups lately. However seeing as yesterday was a very special occasion, I decided to make an extra effort. I got all dolled up to take my momma out to her birthday dinner and she was kind enough to take some photos of me here in our apartment in Cannes.

I wore two necklaces she has given me, one which I received for my 21st birthday, and the second this past Christmas.

The long string necklace is made of aqua marine beads and a gold dos pesos piece my mom had for many years. The charm ring on the strand of pink pearls has a collection of charms she hand picked at a jewelry show. Our dear friend Carla lent her skills and creativity to helping make our design ideas a reality.

Worn with: H&M silk dress and Zara tuxedo jacket….

…and of coarse my favorite Chie Mahara russian doll booties and my Tabio heart tights that seem to always find their way into my posts on the blog.

I love the way the silk dress drapes and gathers in the back.

Happy Birthday Momma!

Beautiful… I love your dress. And I love these images. You know how to work your point and shoot very well. This is what I’ve been saying all along… you have to be the master of your equipment. Have a great day! xoxo

Oh my goodness, that outfit is just fabulous! I don’t think I’ve posted any comments on your site here yet, but I’ve been checking it religiously for a few weeks now, I love it! Even from my phone sometimes, and then I’m thinking “This photo will be so beautiful on my computer when I get home” instead of looking through a microscope with my tiny phone. Hehe.

Hello you darling girl!
I did not know that it is (was) your Mom’s birthday! I have been quite behind in catching up with my favorite bloggers (although I have been following your fabulous trip on French-Kissed). Love, love, love how you displayed THE necklaces…you lend such tres Bardot glamor to them.
I’m sure your Mom thought her birthday was ‘over the top’ spending it in France with you…in fact I love it!
Will be checking in soon again….
