I turned 25 yesterday and got to spend the long weekend celebrating with some of my closest friends. (More on that to come!) Before I left town, I met up with Lydia for a fun little birthday shoot. I’ll take any excuse that I can get to buy balloons!
It’s funny how 25 just seems older. I’m officially in my mid-twenties. I’m five years from 30. A lot of my friends are getting married or planning their weddings, buying houses, thinking about having children, moving to the suburbs, etc. And here I am, buying big gold balloons to celebrate my birthday andย drinking the Hamptons out of rosรฉ.ย (Sounds kind of likeย one of my favorite blogs!)ย I’m having the time of my life, though, and in my opinion, that’s what your twenties are for. I feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. I’m learning a little bit more about myself every day and I believe that when the timing is right, the rest will fall together. So cheers to another year of living it up in New York City!
PS: Trying to photograph balloons that need to stay in a certain order and face a certain way may be the most challenging thing to do… I’ll be posting all of the hysterical outtakes soon! Here’s a little sneak peek to hold you over…

Isn’t that the dress you splurged on/were worried you wouldn’t get to wear very often?! I’m not sure… but either way, it looks GORGEOUS on you! Happy birthday, Jess. I hope it’s amazing!
