This year my birthday was full of pleasant surprises – which by the way never happens! I never really take birthday’s that seriously just because I think after the big 21 there isn’t much to get excited about anymore lol. This year felt different however, because for the first time in a long time I was celebrating a birthday in the states! I haven’t been home for the past four years so bringing in ‘my new year’ in New York was wonderful.

After dinner with my mom at the Cheesecake Factory, we went shopping! She asked me to pick out anything I wanted from Macy’s. My eyes immediately fell in love with these gorgeous heels from Nine West! What I like most about these trendy suede strappy heels is the color. I’m a huge fan of beige because it can go with almost anything. They are so cute!

I of course, also stopped by Sephora – which is pretty much the inevitable. Since it was my birthday I received a free gift: a Marc Jacobs highliner gel eye crayon in black and the Le Marc Lip Creme in ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’ The pencil glides on so easily and smooth and its perfect for lining the upper and lower eye. The lip color is also radiant with a beautiful pink fade. Marc Jacobs has some great products for a natural makeup look. If you try any of these products out, let me know!

Thanks for all the bday wishes, I love you guys!
