Things I Love: Stars & Stripes

Today is June first, which means it's the first day of my favorite month of the year! Why you ask? Because it's my birthday month, obvi! So today I start counting down to my favorite day of the year: FLAG DAY June 14th, {which also happens to be the launch date of the Glitter Guide} and it's my Birthday! While I still hope to throw a roaring twenties party, I decided this year on my actual birthday I want to rock some flag inspired gear to. What a better way to show my love of Flag Day, right? And I'll need some sparkle, glitter is a must on Birthday's and even more so for the GG launch.
Here are some of the flag inspired pieces I am eying...

Fingers crossed I will be back with my own pictures soon!

Things I love: June 14th, Flag Day

This birthday won't be nearly as epic as last years. But eating Birthday cake with chop sticks and having two official birthdays (due to the time zones) is hard to top. I think the celebrating I did last year could last me a lifetime. Happy Flag Day!!

June 14th 2009 Beijing Time
weirdest birthday cake ever
For june 14th on Beijing time We were invited over to our friend's grandparents house for a tradition Chinese feast. They made us a huge feast of dumplings, shrimp, sliced beef and all sorts of other goodies. after eating a colossal amount of dumplings (my friend johnny ate 22!!) they force fed us a banana and cake!! I have never been so full in my life.
Our hosts for my feast, an experience I will never forget.
We then hit up the Beijing Zoo, another experience (for different reasons) I will never forget.
On June 14th PST we had a jam packed day!
We started in the Tienanmen square.
Explored the Forbidden City.
Took a tour of a Hutong.
Then we hit up Jingshan park and the White Pagoda.
Mind you we walked all this way.
We stopped by an area full of rickshaws. I paid the driver to let me drive it, just like my Dad did when visited Beijing. It was hard!!
Casey rode one too.We then hit up some roof top bars.
But not before ending the celebration with an unforgettable night of karaoke.

Yay for travels, memories, and birthdays!!
