well for the past few weeks my saturday nights have been consistently filled up by 21sts. after a rush of them late last year, followed by a two-ish month lull, lately it seems like they're back with a vengeance. clearly february is a popular birth month.
though is turned the big 2-1 in july last year, due to sickness my big birthday bash was postponed indefinitely. and the longer it was put off, the less excited i was about it. but now, as i'm starting to feel better, and get out and about more, the event to celebrate my coming-of-age has returned to the forefront of my mind. it's party time!
as half my friends seem to be jetting off overseas from june onwards, and there are multiple weekends already booked for 21sts in may, it seems the big bash will take place mid april. i've decided on the theme of 'op shop chic' - where second-hand clothing is a must. while some of my friends have turned up their noses at the concept of wearing pre-loved pieces, i figure it's
the perfect antithesis to the barrage of cocktail parties which require attendees to go out and buy yet another dress (because they can't be seen wearing the same outfit on multiple occasions! shock horror!). plus, as an op-shop devotee, it is a perfect excuse to go out hunting through racks of clothing for hidden treasures :)
now i've almost definitely settled on a date, there's a lot to plan:
- food
- tab
- photography (that's what older brothers are for)
- playlist
- slideshows
- invitations
- guestlist
seeing as it's pouring down with rain, and i'm no longer required to volunteer at the LMFF office today, i'd say it's the perfect day to get stuck into the preparation.
and just because i like photos, i've attached some pics from recent 21sts below. enjoy.
kiss hug
