My Ever-changing List

Okay. Calm down, Birdy. Your birthday is on Saturday, and you still haven't made the list yet. So what? Will the world end? Yes, it will. I need to get it done! So Wednesday night at 10:08, I am making Birdy's Birthday List 2011!

1.My mom's friend's idea: red jeans, furry vest, *Tyler's shirts, boots
      
     a. red jeans

                                                                                              Hollister    

     b. Furry Vest

Tyler's

I used to be scared of vests. Now, I like them. I love some of them! This vest is alpaca. Who has a furry alpaca vest. Not many people, you say? Precisely! (Say that with a British accent!)

     c. Tyler's shirts

Tyler's

I love Tyler's shirts! They are so comfortable. I have tons of favorites, but I think the tonal variation (tonal variation- 10 points!) adds some depth and dimension.


     d. Riding boots

I'm not sure where I found these. They aren't my fave, but I want to go to Nordstrom and try on shoes until I find the best riding boots in the store. I love classic brown riding with skinny jeans! New thought: black boots with red/blue/any color jeans. Genius. I might ask for black boots.

Dear unnamed English teacher,
     Notice my outline? Proud? You should be! ;) Actually, I know outlines are I, A, 1, a, i, and so on and so forth. How about this: did you notice my effort? No? Okay then.

My list-- inspired by many things!

     1. Red jeans
     2. Subscription to Lucky Magazine
     3. Subscription to People Style Watch
     4. Subscription to InStyle Magazine
     5. New case for my phone- preferably Lilly Pulizter!
     6. Coat for Bear (mentioned here and here)
     7. North Face soft jacket
     8. Puffer or furry vest
     9. Tyler's shirts
     10. Boots
     11. Cardigans/sweatshirts/clothes in general
     12. Mongolian Lamb pillow from West Elm in White

I don't expect all these! Every year, I ask for too much (I'm also going to California so that's a highly anticipated gift- and a major one) so I'm surprised, and gifters have options.

P.S. Hopefully, I'll do my Halloween post tomorrow! So sorry for the delay!

*I need to do a post about Tyler's. It's only one of my favorite stores OF ALL TIME EVER!

Surprise!

I had my surprise party a few days ago! I turn 13 on November 5, but I just had my 12th birthday party last week! Let's just say I wasn't expecting it!

My mom told me I couldn't go to a football game because my dad told his boss we would eat dinner with him. She left earlier than me and my dad. Suddenly, my dad pulled into Starbucks, claiming that my mom needed Starbucks so we had to get her coffee. I walked toward the counter thinking about what I should order. Then, my dad told me to look at something. I looked, and then I heard some of my close friends say, "Surprise!" really loudly! I'm sure I was so awkward! So anyway, my mom told me to look out the window. There was a limo! She said that was our ride! We giggled our way into the limo, and that's when the questions started flowing. "Where are we going?" "What are we eating?" "Why are we at Starbucks?" And so on and so on. My mom told us we were going to the So You Think You Can Dance Tour! It was amazing! First, we ate at the Iron Cactus (it was so good! We all ordered quesodillas!). Then we drove to the Cedar Park Center (in the limo!) My dad's company has a box, so we got to sit there and watch the show.

It was an unforgettable night! Love ya Mom, Dad, Hannah, Gabby, Maddie, Avery, and Arianna!

The List of All Lists

My birthday is coming up! So naturally, I'm making a list and checkin it twice. Here's the first draft:

1) I want to go to Bora Bora. I love those picturesque over-water bungalows! Observe:

The St. Regis is one of my favorite hotels. They say the devil is in the details, and they definitely took that into consideration! My dad took me to New York when I turned 10, so I think I'll ask my mom to take me to Bora Bora.

2) There's a porcupine on my back! I love J.Crew for basics, but the Porcupine popover is definitely an exception!

Isn't it so chic? It would go with any pantaloons/skirt/shorts I could possibly think of!

3) Cha Cha Chocolate! I love Kate Spade. And chocolate. Of course, I love the Kate Spade Cha cha chocolate clutch!

4) A bushel of glamour! And a peck of Michael Kors! I love all his sparkly, shiny pieces. They are works of art.

That jumpsuit of TO DIE FOR! I'm in love.

So there's my wishlist! Mom, Dad, and the rest of my family: Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, hint, hint!

*I'm totally kidding! I never say chic. Or pantaloons. And I still haven't come out with my list yet. My b-day is in a week! SUCH A PROCRASTINATOR! Anyway, I'm keep ya posted!

P.S. I would love to go to Bora Bora, but that's not a sorry-it's-on-such-shirt-notice-but-will-you-plan-a-trip-to-Bora-Bora kind of way! I was thinking more 24th birthday trip. Or anytime. But not in a week!
