This weekend we had a party for my birthday. Turns out 29 isn’t so bad after all. Plus I’ve finally reached the age where I can make the joke of it being my 29th birthday for the next 5 years.  At 16 you get a driver’s license, 18 you get to vote, 21 you can drink and 29 I get to make a joke about being young. What a milestone.

Bloom saved this pretty dress for me, in my size. It’s been the last one for a few weeks but it stuck around for my birthday. That was nice of her, right?

  1. This dress is GORGEOUS and the colour suits you so well! Love the bright red lipstick and how you paired it with the statement necklace. Sad that it was the last dress in the shop, but you wear it so perfectly.

    Happy (belated) birthday! xo

  2. What a beautiful outfit! Love the color of the dress and lipstick – just perfect. 🙂 Pretty pumped to see you wearing that gorgeous necklace, as I just received my mystery box from Bauble Bar and am wearing the same necklace today! Love the mystery baubles as well – so much fun! Hope you had a great birthday!

  3. Happy Birthday, Kendi! I turned 29 on Thursday and I complained that everyone will think I'm lying this year, and that I'm really 35 or something. I hope you had a wonderful weekend celebrating!

  4. You look gorgeous! The over-the-shoulder trend is really pretty. I keep meaning to try it, but then I forget!

  5. Aww, happy birthday! Here in South Africa we get to drive, drink and vote on our 18th birthdays. So I'm glad I have something to look forward to 😛

  6. I have a similar red dress that I wear every chance I get! Love the necklace paired with it and happy birthday!

  8. Happy belated birthday!

    P.S. The color of this dress looks gorgeous with your dark hair and fair skin tone.

    P.P.S. I recently turned 29, and initially, I was upset about it. Then, I realized that turning 30 is the perfect excuse to take the trip to Greece that I've been dreaming of. So, I'm going to spend the next year planning, rather than sulking. Embrace it 🙂

  9. I hope you had the best birthday! I've only been 29 for about 6 weeks now, but it ain't too bad. 🙂

    That red is so beautiful! And I've admired those heels of yours for a while now. Lovely, Kendi!

  10. I will be turning 28 this year, so I am glad I have denial to look forward to at 29. Can I start a year early? You look lovely in that dress though, it was obviously made for you.
