I get really, really excited about birthdays, so obviously I had to treat Brooke du jour’s 2nd birthday like an actual birthday. As I started planning, I knew I wanted to include my favorite things: dessert, pink and a fit-and-flare party dress.
I spotted Edoughble cookie dough on a friend’s Facebook page and instantly knew it would be perfect. Isn’t edible cookie dough the most BRILLIANT idea you’ve ever heard? If you’re like me, you’ve been eating regular cookie dough your whole life and haven’t died from salmonella poisoning yet, but edible cookie dough sounds safer. Plus, there are sprinkles in it.
Obviously there were a million ways I could incorporate pink into this post. As a self-proclaimed pink-aholic, the possibilities really were endless. But, the Steph Shives Studio balloon from my 22nd birthday was such a hit that I knew I needed to continue the tradition!
As for the dress, I had a very clear vision of what I was looking for. After a 4-hour marathon at the mall (I know, being a fashion blogger is really hard), I found the perfect little black dress. I can wear it so many different ways, but the subtle stripes and organza fabric give it a little something extra.
I know this all sounds a little silly, but when I started Brooke du jour two years ago, my main goal was to make this blog a happy, fun place. I hope you get a kick out of this post and many more posts to come. Thank you for helping me celebrate! xo
