"We turn not older with years, but newer every day." - Emily Dickinson

My birthday is less than a month away, thus the planning of celebrations shall commence.

I am not one to have an excessively long birthday list, but this year seems to be different. Perhaps it is the massive amount of time I spent surfing the web over the past two months, but I can name about 50 million things I am dying to have. So in case you're dying to get me something, here are a few ideas...

Lillly Pulitzer Take Note Mouse Pad in Cabanarama

It's a giant sticky pad that serves as a mouse pad... I can't think of anything better. My current one is getting low and rather dingy, a replacement is in order.

The Hip Hostess Demi Apron in Pink Sorbet

As if I really needed another apron but I just couldn't resist this little gem. (Even if you don't buy one for me, you have to check out her stuff. The owner/designer is ridiculously talented and the aprons would make great bridal or girlfriend gifts!)

Tory Burch Classic Cat Eye Sunglasses

I have needed a new pair of shares for months, it's about time I break down and replace my old and practically broken Dior ones.

The Junior League of Denver 2010 Cookbook Colorado Classique

As a happy and hardcore Junior Leaguer, I think it is a necessity to own as many JL cookbooks as possible. While I am just getting started here in Denver, I know that the Washington, D.C. one was always amazing and I have heard rave reviews of Colorado Classique!

Lilly Pulitzer A Day in the Life Journal in Lillywood

Part of my "30 before 30" list is to keep a journal every day for at least a year. I hope to start on my birthday this year and this adorable journal will keep me writing all year long.

Sonicare FlexCare Rechargeable Toothbrush

Is it lame that I am asking for a toothbrush for my birthday? Probably... Who cares, I want it!!

"You’re in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort there."

"I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love."
