So it’s official – I’m 28! Like most years my big day really snuck up on me {see my 24th, 25th, 26th & 27th posts} This summer has gone by so fast! It feels a bit strange to realize I’m really really in my late twenties, no doubt about it. I basically considered 25, 26 & 27 just ‘mid-twenties’ but here I am just 2 years until the big 3-0! 27 was a fabulous year. I traveled all over the world; Copenhagen, Paris (twice!), Disney World, Atlanta, Lexington, Richmond, Los Angeles (twice), Finland, Dublin, Jamaica, Washington D.C, Amsterdam, Iceland, Chicago, Atlantic City and back to Atlanta to celebrate my birthday with my favorite people. Last year I spoke at the Blog Societies Conference and this year they asked me back. I proposed the idea of doing a photography workshop with Noelle and they loved the idea. Noelle, Gerry, Danny and I spent the weekend frolicking around Atlanta mostly eating and drinking and shopping our way through the ATL (more on that to come!) I just want to say a huge thank you for all the incredible birthday wishes on Instagram, Twitter and my YouTube channels. I feel so blessed to be able to lead a life I absotieyl LOVE thanks to your constant love and support! THANK YOU! As for this incredible photo shoot I want to thank my lovely boyfriend, Gerhard who agreed to wake up at 6:30am so we could take photos on the Brooklyn Bridge before our 10am flight! I’m so obsessed with how they came out. Also thank you to everyone who voted for which birthday dress to wear on my Instagram stories and YouTube videos {ENG / FRE}. I love this dress from Hello Molly {click to shop – it’s only $67 – perfect for a night out or special occasion}
