Today is my birthday!!! I received some really unique and extremely awesome gifts and I decided to share them with you…

• Rust Designs Personalized Mug – Of course I received the dachshund mug! Mine says “Winnie is Katy’s third child”. How cute is that! It is a really cute porcelain mug – they have other dog breeds too. A set of 4 mugs is $45. I love it!!!

• Heather Hansen Designs Birthday Necklace – Heather sent me the most adorable “birthday” necklace with 3 cute little charms on it. It had a cupcake charm, a “K” charm, and a “Make a Wish” charm. This is the perfect necklace to wear on my birthday! I love it. This is going to be one of my “go to” gifts for my girlfriends.

• Sara Langley Handbag - You can always find your way into my heart with a new handbag! I love how Sara Langley bags are cute & unique. I get so many compliments on my Boca Bag. I have the navy & lime green reversible bag. Guess what? She is having a summer sale!! Enter the code summerend at checkout and get 25% off. Sweet!

• Aster & Sage Annie Organizer – This little cutie has a place for everything! The perfect alternative for toting your entire purse. The strap can attach to anything. I’m going to use mine for soccer games, festivals, even out to eat!

• Bhati Beads Earrings - I love the silk knot earrings! They come in so many different colors that you can have a pair for every outfit. They are great for dressing up or with any casual outfit. You can even match them to your school colors. They are super lightweight and durable. For only $28 a pair you will have to get more than one!

• Rotor Caps – Jen makes the most amazing jewelry using discarded items! They are sterling silver with little tiny rivets holding the art piece in. What a way to turn trash into a true treasure! She sent me two awesome necklaces – the first one was made from a Japanese coffee beverage can. The second one (Ladies necklace) is made from a soda can sandwiched between sterling silver. Both charms are on a hip silver sterling ball chain. She also makes rings, cuff links and earrings. This is one original gift!

I am really loving belts right now! I was so happy to receive 3 awesome belts for my birthday today.

• Lucy’s Sister – Marissa Spade has designed the most amazing collection of buckles and interchangeable belt straps that are extremely modern, yet have a total rock and roll feel to them! She sent me the “Kate” buckle (love the name by the way) with my name engraved on it. It is awesome! She sent it on a distressed cowhide strap that looks so vintage – I love it! You can choose your buckle and your strap from a HUGE selection.

• Monogrammed Belt from Invite Cottage – You know how much I love a monogram! How super cute is this little number? For $36 you can have a silver initial belt buckle with your choice of colored belt strap (black, brown, pink, green, or blue). Can’t decide on a color? You can buy extra colors for $12! I can’t wait to wear this!

• Jules “Obi” Belt – I found this beautiful 100% silk striped obi belt at she complete and fell in love. It is actually an updated version of a traditional Japanese obi. Not only is it super cute and comfortable…it actually enhances your waist. It is so versatile – you decide where you want it and tie it on! The hardest part was choosing from the beautiful selections of silk stripes. Here’s a shocker…I decided on the fuchsia and green!

I love my birthday presents…I hope you do too! I’m going to go out and celebrate!
