22nd Birthday Party + Outfit

Hello everyone! Yesterday was my 22nd birthday and it was simply lovely. I had a vintage themed party with tons of delicious food. In fact, I ate way too much food at my party. :p Also, I want to thank my readers that gave me birthday wishes yesterday via email, twitter, Facebook, etc....

Onto the pictures of my party! Now, I didn't plan my party at all, mostly because it didn't seem like my birthday was coming up, so everything you'll see was spur-of-the-moment. I think it came together rather well in the end.

Confetti Cupcakes with pink & fudge frosting and sprinkles.

What I'm Wearing: Pink Top H&M // Gray Voile Maxi-skirt w/ leopard waistband Made by me // Leopard Wedges Payless // Necklace Forever 21 // Earrings LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's // Cuff birthday gift from & made by my best friend, Achaia

I didn't know what I was going to make for my birthday outfit until last Tuesday, when the Longs gave me this piece of the leopard elastic to try out. Then on our shopping trip together I found this adorable pink top from H&M and my mind starting thinking, "ooh...this top would look adorable with the leopard elastic & I have some gray voile that would be perfect to be made into a maxi skirt!" and that is how my birthday outfit was decided upon.
