I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to say it, but thank you soo much for the sweet as pie birthday messages, comments, texts, snapchats and IRL bday love. Special shout out to my babe Casey who brought me the yummiest chocolate chip cookies (sprinkled with sea salt!) as a special birthday treat.

We celebrated the night by going to hear Howie Day at a super small venue near our house! We’d seen him at The Hamilton years ago and were so impressed we wanted to see him again! He does his smaller shows as a one man band - he’ll record sounds with his guitar live on stage, play them back, and create this incredibly dynamic music with it. We even got to meet him after the show! I blabbered on about how Shawn played “Collide” for our high school talent show and we shared our mutual love for Ben Folds. It was pretty epic.

So what did I wear to meet Howie? I wore my favorite sundress from Goodnight Macaroon, the cutest little online boutique. I’ve been leaning towards neutrals lately, so it was fun to pop on something a bit more colorful to celebrate! I topped off the look with my new rose gold Sophie Blake necklace (an early birthday gift from the honey!)

Be sure to check out Howie’s music if you’re not familiar with him - I garuntee you’ll find yourself binge-listening to his new tunes.
