My Birthday Wishlist
My 25th birthday is coming up on August 2nd and while I'm not exactly looking forward to becoming a quarter of a century old, I must admit that I'm happy to be out of the "Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman" stage. I absolutely love being a mama and soon to be wife and I honestly enjoy being an adult, as silly as that may sound. My tastes have changed over the years, leaning more towards classic than trendy, so in that spirit here is my grown up birthday wishlist:

American Eagle Clearance
I received a payout from expotv today (a website I do reviews for) and was cruising around paypal.com to find out which retailers I could spend my hard earned dough at. American Eagle was on their list of popular webstores, so I wandered over to their site to see if anything caught my eye. To my surprise, they're having a huge clearance sale right now, full of super cute summer clothes, sandals and accessories!
Here's what I ordered:
Here's what I'll order next week:

Summer Getaway: Chanel Style
This summer Jason and I are planning a little getaway to the Ritz Carlton in Naples. It has a world famous spa, 2 champion golf courses and is close to fantastic shopping! While there, we'd like to play some tennis, get massages, work on our tans and order room service in our pjs! Jason will be playing a round of golf a day so I'll have to amuse myself with the nearby Waterside Shops (Juicy Couture, Tiffany's, Anthropologie, Louis Vuitton, Chanel)...I can't wait! I've been thinking, why not vacation in high style??
*All from Chanel's 2009 Sports Accessories on Chanel.com.
