Hi Sea of Blooming Dreams readers! This is Sara from Build Castles in Air!

I’m a Creative Writing graduate student in New York and I’m attempting to write my

very first novel. I also sell bookmarks and bracelets in my Etsy shop.

Anyway, I thought I’d give you all a little peek into my blog and what it’s all about.

I write about all sorts of fun things, like…

Fashion…

Entertainment…

DIYs…

Inspired By…

Gift Guides…

Questioning the World…

& lots of inspiration!

I hope you’ll come by and say hello!

Life Lately: Birthday Edition

About 3 years ago Chris made up what he calls his "birthday week" in which he celebrates and gets whatever he wants for a full seven days starting on the day of his birthday. Last year I adopted his idea and didn't have to think twice if I wanted to do it again this year. My "birthday week" is officially over and it was great while it lasted...I partied more nights than I'm used to, ate way too many sweets, and got back massages whenever I wanted...so far 26 has been treating me good.

Getting a little dressed up to have dinner with the 

family...even if it was just at home

Later during the weekend there were margaritas mixed with lots of dancing.

Had this while enjoying some delicious sweets...raspberry tiramisu. My sister's birthday

is 3 days after mine, this was her "birthday cake".

With too many late nights and early mornings the past few days

 you know I'll be catching up on sleep this week.

A few gifts, how cute are the peas in a pod earrings!?!

Mom makes my birthday cake every year.

Sitting under glowing lights while relaxing before going out.

birthday cake + twinkie topping = amazing

Polka Dot Happiness

Tank: Thrifted, Skirt: Delia's, Heels: Steve Madden, Belt: Target, Clutch: The Limited

I'm a stripes kind of girl but I'll have to admit, when I found this polka dot skirt, it was something like love at first sight. I've never owned anything with polka dots and have seen everyone else looking adorable in theirs and I guess I felt the need to add some to my closet. Well you can only imagine how excited I was to snag up this skirt and make it all mine...besides how amazing is the color combo?! Shopping with birthday money is the best :)

What was the last thing you bought that you were happy to find?
