Of course I'll do a post on what I received and after the big Birthday/ Jesus Resurrection celebration on Sunday (note who comes first...), I already tucked a few things away. My mom got me a dress way back when, along with this rose ring by Vera Meat I posted about a while back:
That's still not my hand, but it actually looks remarkably similar to the pictures I tried to take, except here the ring is actually in focus. Go figure.The fam gives money, which I'll never turn down, and with that money I bought:
Benefit lipstick in Ruby Vibes (aka best lipstick ever), $17 at Sephora, as well as some powder, but I can't remember the brand and am far too lazy to go check right now... 
(pic from ebay)This dress from seller jjbean on ebay
(Awkwardly posed picture that the BF took; "artsy" self-portrait)This dress from Century 21 in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn (weekend jaunt). Also! I love this dress for all the obvious reasons--pretty colors and print, fits well, etc., but I mostly love it because when I put it on my boyfriend started called me "Chesty LaRue" (see: several pop culture references including, but not limited to, The Simpsons and Seinfeld).
...And this lovely top from Banana Republic (thee of the awesome sales)Tomorrow (the actual big day), I was supposed to hang out with my mom in the city and maybe hit up a little Tea and Sympathy downtown (clotted cream 4-eva!), but she has been taken with a stomach virus, so now my day is sort of play it by ear.
Have a lovely night, bloggers! Back with jewelry (and make-up, Fashion Tidbits, I promise) on Thursday.

First of all, I'm delighted to be the first of your blogger pals to wish you a very, very happy 26th tomorrow! Other things: I love that Banana top, bought something very similar from H&M the other day -- I love the new ultra-femme thing going on. Also, you look fab in the dress, and that's not an awkward pose -- you look equal parts cute and sophistication. Last but not least, I am literally gaping at the web site for Tea & Sympathy. I can't believe nobody ever told me about it before. I NEED TO GO! Like, immediately! If not sooner. Oh my wow.
Have a great day!
Oh no almost forgot... in your forthcoming makeup post pleeease say what color nail polish you're wearing in the last photo, it's awesome!
I love that dress on you!
Happy birthday! When will you let me buy you a drink? Also I'm intrigued by that lipstick. Do you think it's worth my trying?
Wonderful buys with the birthday booty! And happy birthday!
As for the sandals, I was really pushing it...it was fine all day, but I had to switch to tights and flats towards the evening.
Happy Birthday!
And—Wow, you're beautiful!
I think I already said that before.
I wish you a very happy 26th Birthday!! The dress on ebay is really cool, I like it a lot! and as I already told you in your other post, the ring is amazing, and so beautiful!
