      I haven't posted a Must-Haves list in months. Why bother purchasing clothes and accessories if you're stuck at home?! Seems like other countries are getting back to normal, travel has resumed and my favorite bloggers are posting new fashion. I'm a little jealous and eager to purchase something extravagant. I am obsessed with these Louis Vuitton Archlight sneakers (available at LV). I've seen them on Instagram and they photograph nicely. The curvy shape and oversized, bouncy sole give these unique sneakers a modern, feminine vibe. I'd prefer all white, but would be happy with the patent monogram canvas style pictured here. I've been lusting over Dior bags for months. I'm trying to decide which style I would purchase for Fall - It's a late 40th birthday gift from the husbano. I had my heart set on the white, camouflage saddle bag, but as new styles drop, I'm leaning towards a small book tote. This blue, multicolor Dior Around the World book tote (available at Dior) is perfect for Fall. I don't have a blue handbag, so this would be a nice addition to my mostly pink collection. I'm not a fan of Tory Burch - It just doesn't occur to me to shop the label. BUT, I just have-to-have this Tory Burch printed shirt dress (available at MyTheresa). The green batik-inspired print is perfect for Fall. A must-have! I would pair the Tory Burch shirt dress with these Stella McCartney Elyse Derby platforms (available at MyTheresa). This signature shoe is made of faux leather, has a multi-layer platform and dons the brand name along the midsole. I love these shades of beige - This seasons hue and my go-to colors. I know it seems a bit early to be shopping for cold weather, but when I saw this Jacquemus puffer jacket on the runway - I had-to-have it. I'm just waiting for it to become available for purchase. I LOVE the hue and the puffer style is perfect for casual wear. Jacquemus is one of my favorite designer brands. I want everything Jacquemus. This La Maille Cavou wool-blend sweater (available at MyTheresa) would pair nicely with high-waisted pants. The chunky sweater has an in-side out construction and cropped silhouette. LOVE! 
I celebrated my 40th birthday yesterday. It seems like forever to some, but time has gone by so fast - especially the good moments. I don't feel old and thanks to botox, I don't look old either! Yesterday was the perfect 40th birthday celebration. Thank you Teddy for enduring another photo shoot. You're a super star poodle model.
I was not aware of most of these 1980 facts, but in all fairness, I was a baby! I'm a little disapointed in the "famous people born". Was hoping for someone with more depth. I suppose Ryan Gosling is ok - Who doesn't love The Notebook?! I can't believe Post-It Notes were invented in 1980 - I love them! I'm one of those old people that refuses to keep notes on my iPhone and sticks pastel-shades of Post-It Notes everywhere.
My little dog model went to doggy daycare for the first time yesterday. I spent my birthday lunch watching him on the daycare webcam. He sat in the corner and closely observed the regulars. I'm sure he was overwhelmed and hope he gets comfortable at daycare in the near future.. By the time we did this birthday photo shoot, he was exhausted.
Thank you Shai for the lovely flowers and Limerick poem. It reads..
This Urban Stem bouquet is called the Limerick - hence the humorous poem!
I purchased my Forty AF t-shirt and Hello 40 socks from Etsy. I frequent this site for celebratory products. The apparel is good quality and inexpensive. There's also a wide variety of items for every occasion.
Urban Stems is my go-to online flower delivery company. Thank you husbano for the Metropolitan bouquet and your kind words. Oh and thank you Teddy - I love that you singed the card by yourself!
My favorite - a Dior box. I LOVE my new kicks. They're a step down from the oversized "dad shoe", but still sporty. These Dior sneakers are super light and super white (wish me luck keeping them that way).
My birthday celebration ended with famous Georgetown Cupcakes - delicious! I could barely eat one, cause they're so sweet. It was great day - Bindass for lunch and cupcakes for dinner.
Here we are dancing to The Git Up. Thank you husbano for the perfect birthday. I plan on celebrating all week and can't wait to see what else you have planned..
