Turning 44 never looked so glam. This year, I went full Barbie-core—pink dresses, disco balls, champagne toasts, and all the sparkle a birthday queen deserves. From L.A. to Austin, I celebrated with my ride-or-dies, incredible food, and unforgettable moments.
Here’s how it all went down…
💕 Pink Ladies Night Out in LA
The birthday celebrations kicked off in true glam fashion with my pink ladies—aka my girl squad—in Los Angeles. Dressed in shades of blush and hot pink, we headed to ADKT, a moody, upscale spot that set the tone for the night.
The vibes? Immaculate. A live jazz singer serenaded me mid-bite, sparklers lit up our table, and the champagne didn’t stop flowing. It was the perfect mix of classy and playful—just how a birthday should be.
But the party didn’t stop there.
After dinner, we hit Sunset at Edition nightclub where the disco balls were spinning and the champagne kept flowing. Surrounded by luxe vibes and the best dance floor energy, we danced well into the night—because birthdays should always include a little sparkle a lot of music and a dance floor.
🎀 Austin: Boots, Brisket, and Barbiecore
A few days later, I traded in the LA lights for Austin’s southern charm. I flew in to celebrate with some of my favorite Texans, and the vibes stayed sky-high.
We kicked things off at Canje, where I showed up in my birthday crown and dined on bold, Caribbean-inspired flavors with friends. The meal was chef’s kiss—and the perfect way to keep the celebration rolling.
Friday was adventure day. My crew and I hopped on a donut boat on Lady Bird Lake, cruising in the sunshine, sipping drinks, and taking in the skyline. We capped off the day with Interstellar BBQ, where I had what may be the best brisket of my life. I’m still dreaming about it.
As the sun set, we gathered near the bridge downtown to watch the famous Austin bat colony emerge. It was surreal, magical, and a perfect reminder of how beautiful life is when you stop to watch nature do its thing.
💕 The Main Event: Birthday Barbie in Full Glam
Saturday—the big day—was all about sparkle, sass, and hot pink energy. I slipped into my bright pink birthday dress, topped it off with my crown and sash (obviously), and headed to the Malibu Barbie Pop-Up Café. I was officially in my birthday girl era and loving every second of it.
Later, we kept the celebrating going with dinner at Haywire, followed by drinks and dancing at Wonder Bar—a funhouse of photo ops, neon signs, and celebratory vibes. Every stop brought joy, laughter, and another glass of champagne.
💫 Wrapped in Pink, Surrounded by Love
From pink sashes and glitter to BBQ, boat rides, and spinning under disco balls, this birthday was a dream—a perfect mix of glam, giggles, and gratitude. I danced, I dined, and I celebrated with the people I love most.
Here’s to living out loud, loving big, and never saying no to a crown. 💖
xoxo
Travel. Beach. Love.
