Big revelation…
So today I thought I’d share with you that next year I’ll be celebrating a big birthday…the dreaded 4-0 (gasp!). AND it will be our 10-year wedding anniversary! I’m thinking a big trip is in order. Since we did Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan for our honeymoon in 2003, it’s only natural that we should do the Amalfi Coast this time around. This spread is how I imagine it (and I admit I have a good imagination)….envisioning being sunkissed, feeling romantic and pretty darn good…
I deserve this, right?
(Can you tell my husband that?)

This looks like an absolutely perfect way to spend your birthday and anniversary! And PS 40? You look like you’re 25!
Jordan - Queen of LA says
i completely agree! im shocked! you really do look 25! :)
Naomi@Design Manifest says
you obviously deserve it. I hope when you go, you look more happy than this lady, though ;)
It’s a fabulous idea!
viv says
Ooooh all this white fashion – gorgeous! The Amalfi Coast is one of my dream destinations!
Sharon@house58blog.com says
I echo the “you look 25” sentiment. I am shocked you are almost 40! I just hit it a couple of years back and life gets better every year. Something about turning 40 is calming. And yes, you deserve a trip to the Amalfi Coast!

Oh I hope you get your wish! How amazing would a trip like that be? By the way, is it just good genes or some magical cream you’re using to look so young????

I’m half Japanese, I think it’s the Asian thing!
Tobe | Because It's Awesome says
Okay, first, I don’t know how that is even possible. You’ll wear 40 well, my friend!
And, yes, such an event DEFINITELY calls for travel. We’ll have to remind my husband when the time comes, too :)
Neda says
Wow, that would be one amazing trip! Perfect for a 40th birthday!! Just tell him you need to go for creative inspiration. :) xx

My jaw is on the floor, I don’t believe your almost 40. I kept rereading that part thinking I missed something. I want some of whatever your taking.
The Amalfi coast sounds like the perfect way to celebrate! I am crazy jealous!
Cat says
O.M.G I literally was JUST talking about the Amalfi coast with a friend the other day and how that is my first stop vaca after I win the lottery (oh, it’s going to happen) seriously, the most beautiful architecture, food, people, food, fashion, nature… and did I mention food?? happy early birthday and anniv!

You most 100% certainly do deserve it!!! So fabulous… I have dreamed of going there for a long time… some friends of ours got married there years ago and the photos are beyond gorgeous!
Happy almost birthday AND anniversary to you – so exciting!
Miya @ Design Indulgences says
Shut the front door. You are not almost 40? You don’t even look 30. I turn 30 this year and I’m starting to brainstorm for a good vacay myself cuz I refuse to be in this city.
Tamra {ever swoon} says
Absolutely!! No doubt about that you most certainly deserve it and I have LOTS of fabulous fierce recommendations for you, from hotels, activities, to restos!
Samantha Penner says
A huge milestone indeed! I think you and your hubby deserve to go wherever you like. :)

That is such a great idea! My fiance and I are going to Italy as well for our honeymoon! I can’t wait!

You have two amazing reasons to take this trip! Italy is one of my favorite places in the world.
Rachel {little bits of lovely} says
Oh what a perfect plan for celebrating such an important birthday! Italy is incredibly beautiful and so romantic. You look amazing for almost 40 by the way! xx

Darling you SO deserve this! Don’t think twice DO IT!!!!!! These pictures are insanely gorgeous.
Gaby [The Vault Files] says
40! You don’t look an inch of 40! What’s the secret?! ;)
AnnOnandOn says
(First time here) Yes, you deserve it…. 40 is great. Make the plans as if you’re going and that will make it easier on the husband. He doesn’t have to lift a finger, just a wallet. LOL!
Bettina says
What an amazing year for you! And, I’m sorry, did I read correctly, are you really turning 40? This whole time I have thought you were in your very early thirties!
designstiles says
No way you’re almost 40. I don’t believe. A big trip for a big birthday and ten year wedding anniversary sounds like the perfect way to celebrate. I like how all these outfits are white, kinda goes with the wedding anniversary theme. Dress number six is hot!
elizabeth says
Holy moly those lace dresses are a dream! I will be 36 this year and every year that creeps up to the 40 is killing me! But if I looked as young and good as you I would not be so worried!

There is no fear in turning 40 years of age as you may have heard of the proverbial saying that life begins at forty. Consider this as a time for new experiences
Drew {Coral Cafe} says
You don’t look a day past 25! Gorgeous genes are definitely in your blood! What an amazing trip to be planning!
Erin says
I’ll tell him for sure. I think I deserve it too :) I’ll go in the suitcase.
kari says
My husband and 6 year old daughter took our first ever trip to Europe in 2007….went to the Amalfi coast and & Capri; absolutely the best time of my life; especially Capri!! Hotel Punta Tragara, The beach club at la Fontalina, pizza at De Gemma; the beach at Marina Piccolo, fresh waffle cones in , lemon gelato; life just does not get any better! Do it now you will never regret it! We took the trip just before the crash and I am so grateful that we did; I don’t regret a single penny! Worth every cent. The experience is priceless!!! Ciao!!
Albertina says
Yes!!! I think you deserve it!! COngratulations!! in Positano must have dinner at Hotel San Pietro….and La Sirenuse….I hope it works out!
