Celebrating in Style – 26 & the City!
I celebrated my birthday a couple of weeks ago, July 3rd, and was thrilled to have so many friends in the same place; mainly because my time with them is limited given I AM MOVING TO NEW YORK CITY in a little over a month (more deets coming soon)!
I spent over a month looking for the perfect outfit, but nothing really caught my eye, that is, until Seattle indie designer, Jesica Milton, gave me a generous offer I couldn’t refuse. She loaned me an amazing sample that fit like a glove and was exactly the type of look I was going for. Exposed zipper trim…um, perfection!
To “top” things off, the shirt I’m wearing (a gift from Sara) also has an exposed zipper. Check out the back!
Wearing:
- Top: Matty M (thx Sara!)
- Skirt: Jessica Milton (love love love)
- Sandals: Calvin Klein via DSW
- Belt: Express
- Cuff: Gift from Jess E. (she didn’t even know it would match the outfit!)
During the day, one of my best friends, Lindsay, took me shopping all over Seattle, which led to purchases at H&M, Anthropologie, Target and DSW (the shoes I ended up wearing with my bday outfit and shockingly, my first DSW pair).
For dinner, we went to my favorite Spanish inspired tapas place in Ballard, Ocho. If you ever come to Seattle, you have to try it. Here’s a shot of all the girls at dinner:

After dinner, we headed to 9 Million Unmarked Bills in Fremont, formerly known as the Triangle Tavern, where Lauren from PR Matters kindly offered me a private area in the back. The bartender also let me customize a “Clutch22″ drink my guests could order for a special price all night.
Overall, it was one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had. While I had lots of reasons to celebrate, it was the company that made the night. More pics below!

Hey Jordana, it’s Amanda, Sara’s photographer friend. I’m happy I found your blog, but sad to hear you’ll be moving soon since we never got the chance to work together.

I would steal your skirt but I guess that would leave you kind of naked. So I won’t.

You’re super cute! But I think your color is washing you out! Since you are embarking on a new journey in the city I think you should make a new change! I think you would look cute as a strawberry blonde, or dark dark brunette. Anyway, wonderful blog. Just thought I’d give me two cents!
