To ring in a new decade I chopped off my hair to discover myself with a fresh new look, I put on the classic Mendoza red lipstick, and I slipped my big earrings on to top off an outfit that I had already had in my closet, minus my long jacket, recently purchased at Zara, for the occasion.
I kicked off my birthday weekend with a party at my house,
followed by dessert at at a French cafe in the Meat packing district.
I wanted to have a house party in order to spend one-on-one time with my friends (two of which flew in from other states-- I felt so special!). I only invited a select few people, the ones that have consistently been in my life and I've spent time with. I didn't make it a big affair. We had an open taco bar and frozen margaritas before we packed into various cars and headed to one of my favorite neighborhoods for night-life in NYC! The Meat Packing District! I love this area because there are classy people (intellectuals, well traveled that engage in good conversation), the people are international, and everyone is dressed to impress. I like to immerse myself in this kind of environment once in a while.
I felt comfortable and safe, and thats how I spent my last Friday night in my 20's.
Everything about the night was perfect.
Everyone was happy,
we danced into the wee hours of the morning
and closed out the night by telling jokes
and singing during the car ride home.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience with my friends.
And that was just the beginning of four days of celebrations!
More "turning 30" blogs to come.
