A week ago today I turned 27. Whaaa? you may be thinking, why haven’t we heard about this yet? Well, it’s because the day after my birthday I pretty much hit a life wall and came down with strep throat that kept me in bed with zero brain function until yesterday morning. But here I am, back from the dead. Another year older to all of you. Turning 27 is funny. I think I say that about all of the ages I have hit recently, and will probably say that for a while, because never in my life did I picture myself at 27. I imagined myself at 22, 25, maybe 26 but things get weird around 27. It’s that year when you jump into you late 20s and you start to feel like maybe shit’s getting real, and who likes to imagine that when you’re younger? So yes, I had some anxiety about turning this age and about what I’ve accomplished so far, you know the drill. But then I woke up the morning after I turned 27 and as I laid in bed thinking about how much fun I had the night before with my best girlfriends I realized I felt 27, I felt another year older and I was okay with it. So there. 27 here I am.
And here is some of the (mostly epicurean) fun I had on my big day. Basically, I ate and drank my way through my birthday, and it was awesome.
I hope you all out there are doing well! xx, me
Aw, happy belated bday, lady! It looks like it was fabulous. Gorgeous photos as always!
I completely agree with you about the feeling of turning 27! It definitely feels like you are in the next step and you are that much closer to 30… Hope you have a great 27th year!

Happy Birthday. I just turned 28 in January and had a mild panic attack. But hey, you can’t stop aging, right? Love that shirt, too!

Happy Belated 27th Birthday! Loved the pics! Sad to hear about the strep
throat. Here’s to a wonderful year.
I had a lot more anxiety about turning 27 than I did about turning 25. Now I am on the downhill slope and will turning 28 in a few months and that makes me just as anxious. Why are birthdays so much more stressful with each passing year?
