Cupcakes and Cashmere

A Simple Birthday

May 3rd, 2012

J.Crew Cardigan and Belt, H&M Dress, Kelly Wearstler Clutch, Vintage Bracelets, Dries Van Noten Heels

Today’s my birthday and despite my lingering jet lag, I feel great. I’m excited to embrace my last year in my 20s with a confectionery-inspired dress and an intimate sushi dinner later tonight.

I’m also thrilled to share the first iteration of my site redesign in collaboration with SAY Media. The coming months will include some fun new features and content and I hope you enjoy the upgrades to Cupcakes and Cashmere!

    Ciao and happy birthday Emily
    Congratulations for your wedding and your blog which i believe is maybe the best around but i have to tell you that the new lay out is not “you” like the one before. Maybe now pics are bigger but it looks like all the others…think about it! C.

    happy birthday! (same age is me, 29 is definitely seeming like a good year so far!)

    i love your outfit, i think i saw that dress in h&m & knew it could either look horribly wrong, or really high fashion, & of course you’ve pulled it off fantastically! love the unusual sandals with it too.

    Have a fab day!

    Happy Birthday :) You deserve all of the best! I’m so happy I came across your blog a few months ago. You’ve taught me a lot in regards to style, decorating, making yummy food, and amazing scenery, plus so much more. You’re a great person, and a great blogger. I wish I had the chance to meet you in real life! Have a splendid birthday, xo.
