How does a gal celebrate a monumental occasion like turning — gulp — 30? With a Doble Quiñceanera, of course!
Since saying goodbye to your 20′s can be a little bittersweet, a super special birthday party is a must. Enter: the Doble Quinceañera! Credit goes to my boyfriend for this genius idea. Take a Quiñceanera (just like 15-year-old girls from Latin America have) and times it by two. Hello 30th birthday fiesta!
And sure, today’s post it a bit silly, but hey, it’s my birthday so anything goes! : ) Here are a few pics from my awesome Doble Quiñceanera-themed party. Thanks to my amigos for making it so awesome!
A few party details:
Bandita’s sombrero: Amazon
Book: Thirty Things Every Women Should Have or Should Know By the Time She’s 30 by the Editors of Glamour (thanks, Meg!)
My sparkly dress: Delia’s (I’m pretty certain the sales girl thought I was shopping for a prom dress. I didn’t have the heart to tell her it was for my um, 30th birthday)
Nail polish: Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet

/ May 14, 2012Haha, busted! Delia’s definitely skews younger than my age group, but every once in awhile you can find a little gem, like this over-the-top sparkly dress!
