Last night I went to Angela Chamberlin’s 1920′s themed birthday party!  Angela wanted to have the 1920′s theme to celebrate the last year of her 20′s.  It was such a fun idea!  Many people dressed up!

      I bought two dresses from ebay, one for my daughter, Alexandra, who had to work and couldn’t come, and one for me.  Mine was a beige chiffon drop waisted dress with a lace V down the front.  Not the most flattering dress on me, kind of matronly, but oh well, I’m trying to be on theme!  I had some long pearls that i knotted.  I fingerwaved my hair with a curling iron and then pinned it into a faux bob from instructions on youtube.com.  Alexandra, my makeup artist daughter, told me to wear dark burgundy lipstick, so I did! 

     Angela looked incredible!  She was a star!  Her dress was a black 1920′s style with silver beading.  Her short bob and dark lipstick completed her look to perfection!

     Angela had her apartment sparkling, and even a cute little table and chair set on her balcony with candles.  She has these really cool light quilts on her wall in her living room and bedroom and decals, both from Ikea.

     The food consisted of croissant sandwiches, sushi, a beautiful fruit plate, a vegetable dip plate and of course the incredible birthday cake which had crushed pistachio’s around the side! 

     To drink you had your choice of absinthe, (but of course since Angela’s blog is http://absintheangel.wordpress.com and her twitter name is @absintheangel).  We also had champagne, beer, capri sun, and ice water.  Angela had created a drink as well, absinthe and champagne!  She called it the Hemmingway!    I started with a Hemmingway, whoa was it strong!  Then I switched to a glass of champagne and that was it, I did have to drive myself home after all!

     I had a great time seeing my friends Holly, Alix and Sharon.  It was also nice seeing Jesse’s parents and Angela’s cousin Will.  Then there were ton’s of Angela’s friends from U.C. Berkeley!  It was a great group and everyone had a wonderful time, including all the kids playing in Elijah’s room! 

     It was an awesome night, and a great way to celebrate turning 29!  Happy Birthday Angela!
