The best way to get through the next two months of below freezing temperatures is to plan ahead.  Plan vacations, plan summer shares, plan spring wardrobes… One of Spring 2013′s trends was the minimalistic and graphic use of black and white shown by everyone from Marc Jacobs to Balmain to Michael Kors.  A long time fan of bold black and white, I am happy to report that this really is one of those trends that would be hard to get wrong… (though I’m sure someone is capable of screwing it up).  You can opt for an actual black and white print or simply pair black and white separates to achieve the look that is clean, crisp, and classic.  Throw em for a loop by accessorizing the look with a red lip or bright bag.

I love birthdays.  I love them the way most normal people love Christmas or Thanksgiving.  Not only do I love celebrating mine, but I also love celebrating those of others.  Perhaps it’s because it is one special day that is all yours (except that you share it with 19,178,082 on average…) or perhaps it is one great excuse to corral all of your nearest and dearest into one room to have a good time and catch up.  Who can say “no” to a birthday invite?

When I look back on birthdays past (minus last year), they are some of my most treasured moments.  Even though some of the people in the pictures have changed year after year and some have remained consistent, I smile when I think about those fun filled days and nights and am so thankful to have another day on this planet.  Plus, I really like cake.  And presents.  Speaking of which, have you picked out mine yet?  Three day shipping should get it here by Friday, FYI.  (Let me know if you need my shipping address).

Ippolita Disc 18 karat Gold Diamond Drop Earrings, $5,000, Jimmy Choo Rob Pruitt Cayla Embellished Patent Leather Clutch, $1,350, Sophia Webster Lana Embellished PVC and Suede Sandals, $535, Kiki De Montparnasse Chantilly Lace Bra, $350 and Chantilly Lace Thong, $225

So, what does every girl need to make her feel special on her birthday other than friends and cake?  In my expert opinion, once you’ve secured your birthday frock, a little bling, some killer shoes, shiny clutch, and perfect underpinnings are precisely what you need to get the party started and keep it going.

And a pony wouldn’t hurt.
