it's my party and i'll cry if i want to.

It's my birthday in a few weeks, and I am fully on the "treat yo'self" train nowadays. 

I don't think there's anything wrong with getting yourself something shiny and new on your big day, so here's what's in the running for a good old gift to myself:

1. New Printstagram Prints from Social Print Studio: These guys & gals are just the best. I have prints, a calendar, heck- even stickers from SPS. I haven't ordered anything in a while, and I think some new prints with new Instagram shots I've taken recently might just be what the doctor ordered.

2. The First Snow has the most gorgeous prints. I have one in my bedroom and this beautiful quote about The Compass would make a great addition!

3. Michael is pretty spot on when it comes to buying me jewelry, but that doesn't mean I can't still grab something for myself- like this ladylike bracelet!

4. I'm a bowl hoarder, I've turned into my mother. But I mean, these West Elm bowls are pretty fantastic, right?

5. DUDES. Have you seen Gap's new line of shoes? Just yes yes yes and yes all over again. I think these would be some pretty nice birthday kicks.

6. When I lived in Peru I read Pablo Neruda's Love Poems over and over in Spanish. They are poetic perfection and I don't own the full book...so this is currently the front runner in my "treat yo'self" birthday gift. I love (hah. punny) how Anthropologie made the cover of this book- just as romantic as what is inside!

7. I love the Pine Sophia studs I got for Christmas, and the Coral version are just as lovely. Loren Hope-you do good work, lady! 

If you feel like sending me something off this list, you just let me know and I'll send ya my new address. Kidding. But seriously.

So tell me: if you were to treat yo'self on your birthday- what would you get yourself?
I expect some fabulous answers here, friends!

Speaking of attention, let's talk about all of you that went crazy over this necklace when I posted it on Instagram!! I'm VERY happy to say that this week one of you lucky, lucky people will get a chance to win a gorgeous gold or silver necklace... so be sure to come back later this week!

The weather has been super confused lately- with it getting down to freezing last night...but being 80 a few days before. Here's hoping this week is another gorgeous one! Last week a couple coworkers and I went over to a local A&W for lunch...few things are more refreshing than a rootbeer float on a hot sunny day!

To anyone who celebrated Mother's Day yesterday- hope you took the chance to do something special for your mothers- or your kids did something special for you! I didn't get to see my momma this year as we didn't make it back to MN, but I made sure to get a good chat with her in! Flowers always make me think of her, so I grabbed a few bunches the other day and have them all over the apartment in her honor :)
