We celebrated Bob's birthday last Friday! Per his request, we went to our favorite restaurant in town (the same place we went for my birthday) and had a truly mind-blowing meal. We also had more than our share of wine (note the empty bottles and glasses in the last picture), making us grateful for a Saturday of nothing that allowed us to recuperate. (And boy, did we need it.)

| Dress - Anthropologie / Shrug - LOFT / Nude patent pumps - Guess (via Piperlime) / Purple patent clutch - MAXX New York (gifted) |
For the event, I wore this Anthropologie sale score (it has pockets!!) that I had intended to wear for Valentine's Day, but since we didn't go anywhere, it continued to languish in my closet. I must admit that it doesn't fit as well as it could in my bust/back area (gimme a few more weeks on Weight Watchers, though...) but fortunately its full a-line skirt is very forgiving. (And thank goodness for shrugs and Spanx.) Besides, Bob insisted that I wear it because he simply loved me in it, so the decision was made for me. =)

| Necklace - LOFT / Earrings - LOFT |
The print is pretty spectacular - blue and purple and orange and lime green brush strokes - which makes accessorizing fun, and I sure took advantage of it! I even got a manicure in a bright violet shade just for the occasion.

| Bob's Outfit: Faux-linen blazer - Lauren Ralph Lauren (Kohl's) / Shirt - Robert Graham / Pocket Square - Banana Republic / Jeans - Polo Ralph Lauren / Shoes - Donald Pliner |
The man of the night was looking mighty fine himself, I might add. But he always does.... =)
And the food!! The food!! Here's just a "taste" of some of the amazing dishes we enjoyed.
Fried sweetbreads with black summer truffles and garlic scapes; Copper River Sockeye Salmon with smoked fingerling potatoes, greens and a mustard sauce
Happy Birthday, my dear Bobby!
You are SO cute! What a fabulous dress, it looks great on you! I think it would look awesome with a button-down shirt layered underneath it in one of the colors in the dress, and you could wear it to work that way! Well...I think so, but that's just me. :)
