Ronnie's Birthday

Happy Birthday, Ronnie! We celebrated at Nadine and Dylan's house with mountains of delicious eats (green salad, Ken's Lite Caesar dressing which I later wanted to buy immediately but Steve vetoed on chef's principal, pasta salad, multiple Harry's pizzas), cold bevvies, great people, and dogs. It was a wonderful, mellow night and reminded me, in the midst of a super-insane month, of how good it feels to kick back, chow, and laugh with friends. B-day accessories courtesy of Nadine, aka the Hostess with the Mostest; dangerously decadent chocolate cake by Allison.

{Uno: simple pleasures, so much fun. I won't lie, it took me some time to fully catch on.}

{Old-fashioned phone and vintage bar-service chez Gengras.}

{Allison's cousin was commissioned to do a boutique line for Urban Outfitters, Daydream L.A. Um, awesome! Love this top with its cool, relaxed fit and vibrant print, it looks super cute and pops against her auburn hair. Check it out!}

{Nadine gifted Steve, a Scotch enthusiast, with this incredibly fitting Ardbeg Scotch tray. He claimed he wouldn't use it, but we'll see how he feels tonight when Breaking Bad is on.}
