WIW 9/13 Birthday Party Edition

It's my birthday! I'm hosting a small party at my place. The theme is "It's my birthday and I'm cheesed off". Well not really but I'm serving two different cheeses. My first degree came from Washington State University and the have an on campus dairy that they produce cheese and ice cream made by students. The Cougar Gold is very famous and hard to get.

In Seattle we have Beecher's cheese. Some speculate their flagship is an attempt at Cougar Gold.

Wearing Vince cashmere halter, Eileen Fisher silk track pants, Miu Miu rhinestone heeled boots and the cherry on top, literally, a Piers Atkinson headpiece.

    Stunning. This makes me think of daphne guiness. I especially love the shoes. (Of course.)

    Happy Birthday! Seeing you in a halter gives me hope that it won't be too cold when I get there at the end of the month. Lovely all black outfit. And I'm glad those are cherries. I would sure hate to have someone trying to shoot the apple off your head. ;)  Have a blast at your party!

  • Deborah replied 9 years ago

  • JAileen replied 9 years ago

    Happy Birthday! Your headpiece is too cute!

    I was in grad school at Texas A&M and there was an on campus creamery that served wonderful ice cream.

    First off - those boots are a work of art themselves!  The headpiece?  Takes it to another level.  Happy Birthday Anna - all the best..

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 9 years ago

    You look gorgeous! The headdress brings an ironic touch to your sexy outfit. Thanks for the detail photos!
    I'm a big fan of Cougar Gold cheese, btw. Yummm.

  • Diana replied 9 years ago

    Oh yay!!!! I'm glad you kept the cherries after all. Love them with the all black and all that drape. The boots are awesome.

    And yum, the cheese sounds delicious. Happy birthday!

  • Karie replied 9 years ago

    Happy Birthday! Sounds like a great party - I'll just hop on I90 and be right over - oops, wrong end of I90 :(

    Happy Birthday, O' Stylish One!!! :)

    And you did get the cherries! (Or am I just confused and there was never any question?)

    Party out!

  • Mo replied 9 years ago

    The cherry on top is pure awesomeness!  THIS is the perfect time for that headband.  Perfect.  Love the idea of throwing your own party and the theme is great fun.  Hope you had a blast.  Looking fab as can be in your party wear!

  • columbine(erin) replied 9 years ago

    I remember the headpiece from another thread and am tickled that you found an occasion to wear them. Hope the party was/is as fab as you are.

    Best. Birthday. Outfit. Ever.

  • Suz replied 9 years ago

    Happy birthday!! That cherry on top headpiece is just amazing. Talk about a conversation starter. How does it stay on? 

  • annagybe replied 9 years ago

    Thanks everyone. It was big hit. It has a headband with a comb. Held on pretty well through out the night.
    I forgot to ask my friends though which cheese was better.

  • Windchime replied 9 years ago

    You've outdone yourself, Anna! The black outfit is awesome on you, and then you add the cherries and...wow! Fab sense of humor and fab outfit.

  • Aubergine replied 9 years ago

    Love the cherries so much! And the rest of the outfit too.

    The cheese sounds completely delicious. I wish I'd gone to a college with its own signature cheese.

  • Marley replied 9 years ago

    Best. Birthday. Suit (with your clothes on.)  Ever.

  • Cerinda replied 9 years ago

    Deeeelicious.  Your inimitable style. Boots?  Gasp!

    Want. Cougar. Gold.  Even more than oysters.

  • Alana in Canada replied 9 years ago

    Look at you in all your drapey fabness. Those boots are killer fab. Look at the heels!

    And yay! You wore the cherries! 

    (I think I fainted inside, a little, when I saw the "bite" matched your heels.)

  • Ornella replied 9 years ago

    Out of this world, even though I've learnt to expect the unexpected from you! Happy birthday once again.

  • lyn67 replied 9 years ago

    Love the cherry on top!  I'm very familiar with Cougar Cheese but will have to try the other when I'm in Seattle.  Happy Birthday!!

  • Eliza replied 9 years ago

    Wow, Anna! Amazing look! Love it all and cherries on top, well, what could be better? Very nice way to celebrate.

  • K. Period. replied 9 years ago

    You look lovely! I love the drapey fluid top and bottoms.  And the cherries (which could only be better if they were apples!).

    I hope your party was a huge hit! 

    (BTW, Cougar Gold is my fave.  I always order it for the holidays.  Nothing compares!)
