Birthday season is in full force in the Greenwood residence. With all four of our birthdays all within the first three months of the year, we become quite accustomed to balloons, streamers and belting out "happy birthday" on a regular basis. The giving season extends right from Christmas on into the new year and is the perfect chance to pick out another fabulous present for my much-deserving family members. They surely did the same for me--I was beyond 'wow-ed' with my incredible array of hand-picked presents! From the Oscar de la Renta for Neiman Marcus/Target bag used as a jewelry tote, to my Kate Spade business card holder, to my new collection of style icon DVDs... it was quite the fashionable fiesta. Here's a peek into my birthday week:
Birthday dinner ensemble, complete with emerald, my permanent nametag and polka dots.
My picture-perfect and fashionable fam!
My sneaky fam surprised me with a serenade and our waiter surprised me with ice cream. Now that's my idea of a birthday dinner!
Becca drove all the way to Jacksonville for one night just to celebrate with me in person!
It made my whole birthday complete - I was beyond grateful!
(We ended up convincing her to stay for two nights instead... success!)
Our traditional "Birthday Tulips" in a vibrant shade of fuchsia.
Hand-stamped polka dotted wrapping paper complete with lilac glitter tulle. Caitlin outdid herself!
Obsessed with Kate Spade's new 20th anniversary book! I have already poured through it countless times--the graphics are unbelievable!
DIY Anthropologie bracelet kit from Caitlin. I wear this piece almost every day!
My first ever set of macaroons! Again, Caitlin... you outdid yourself! THANK YOU!
Surprise birthday balloons and streamers outside my bedroom door. So sneaky!
So thankful for my wonderful friends who attended my birthday brunch at Bella Bella!
(I'm wearing my all-time favorite statement top from Tria!)
The gang all together after a deliciously filling italian meal.
The infamous Bella Bella salad. So tasty.
A touching note and an overflowing plate full of homemade confetti cookies from Katie!
I'm not ashamed to say they were eaten for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner that day...
Can't wait to finally watch this! My thoughtful uncle sent me this, the Valentino Documentary and Coco Before Chanel! So grateful.
Festive coffee, citron and mint balloons and coordinating wrapping. My parents know me oh-so-well.
My new silver staple necklace from Becca! Love this!
Pantone laptop sleeve. I treasure this!
Speaking of sleeves, this new gold Starbucks sleeve now accessorizes my lattes!
What a fab way to drink coffee, thanks to Becca!
This will forever go down in history as my favorite cake. Ever.
My mom combined mint, Nate Berkus studs and a gold monogram all ontop of a red velvet double layer cake.
If this isn't perfection, I don't know what is!
Needless to say, I am beyond appreciative and grateful for all the extremely thoughtful gestures made by my family and friends. You all warmed my heart, filled my closet and made this birthday the best one yet!
Come tomorrow, I'll be having a belated b-day bash for my dad and early b-day extravaganza for my sister! More photos to follow. Want instant updates of the party? Follow me on Instagram @kellyreneg to see how we celebrate!
Ciau,
