At work, I’m constantly in heels and my feet ache and even start to twitch from discomfort So lately whenever I have to wear high heels out of work, I’ve been sporting something with a platform. That extra inch of platform makes such a big difference! There are some great platform options everywhere from Christian Louboutin to Topshop.

Jumper- Gap

Scarf- Dries Van Noten

Jeans- Cheap Monday

Shoes- Marni

Friday June 12 was my birthday, so for a night out on the town I decided to dress up and look a little extra special! I think every girl should stand out and be the center of attention for her birthday…for at least one day of the year! Whether you wear something a little more glitzy with shine and sparkle or something slightly more provocative, it’s always nice to break away from your usual attire and try something new. But remember, a little bit can go a long way, so don’t go overboard with one single trend or idea. Create a balance. For example, wear a bright red lipstick, like Nars Jungle Red (that’s a personal favorite of mine) with fresh and simple makeup. Or wear a one-of-a-kind dress with a classic pair of high heels. If jewelry is your thing, wear a bold statement piece, accompanied by a beautiful, but simple dress.

For my birthday I wore:
Dress: Alexander wang nude and black corset dress (available at shopjumelle.com)
Shoes: Christian Louboutin black zipper heels
Necklace: Diamond pendant from my mother

My puppy decided to wear a special blue ribbon!
