Happy Monday, dear readers! Not to be completely biased (ok, maybe just a little), but today’s post is inspired by my recent blowing-of-the-candles. Up until this point I’ve blown out a total of 378 candles (you do the math) and have celebrated in many, many ways. Birthdays are so special and should be treated as so, but most importantly, should be celebrated in style. I mean, why not? It’s your special day! Here are my top ways for celebrating a birthday in style (and not just in fashion)…
1. Go for the Month. Admit it, you know you’re much too fabulous for only a day’s worth of celebration. Instead, proclaim your birthday month and celebrate from beginning to end. Now you’ll have an excuse to do everything and anything you want all month long. Party on!
2. Shop til you drop. If you’re a frugal fashionista (or even if you’re not), there’s no better time to spoil yourself with a fabulous new wardrobe than on your birthday. New shoes, accessories and clothes? Yes, please!
3. Get the royal treatment. You work so hard all year long and run around trying to accomplish the impossible. But you do it. Now, why don’t you cut yourself some slack and treat yourself to some relaxation time and pampering? Head to the spa, ask for breakfast in bed, go for a mani/pedi – do it all, your call! You’re the birthday princess, so act like it. (Really, it’s ok.)
4. Dance. Dance. Dance. Come on, you know that deep down inside your inner dancing queen is dying to come out. Even if you’re normally the quiet one who’d much rather call it a day after work and cozy up at home in front of the tube, let your hair down for once, dust off your sassy heels and let the music take over. Dancing will make you feel good. And feeling good is always in style.
5. Eat, Drink and Be Merry! What’s a birthday without food, friends and a cocktail (or two)? Even if you don’t shop til you drop, head to the spa or celebrate all month long, if you are to celebrate your birthday in one way, this is it. After all, there’s nothing more stylish than happiness and being surrounded by those who love you.
6. Do what you love. While shopping, spa-ing, dancing and toasting are all fabulous options for celebrating your special day, the best way to celebrate is by simply doing what you love. Enjoy ogling at the museum for hours? Ogle on! Love taking on the outdoors? Venture out! Are you happiest when traveling? Jet-set away! Whatever puts a smile on your face and brings happiness and satisfaction into your life, do it. It’s your birthday. You can do whatever you want.

So what does a birthday girl wear to her party??
Great question, CEpp! Whether you’re keeping things quiet with nice dinner or going all out on a night on the town, the go-to birthday girl outfit is a fun frock and sassy heels! Then, accessorize with a few shiny baubles and doll up with a bold lipstick and nails.
