Birthday Girl

custom illustration by Birdy & Me


So today's my birthday. And what an amazing 25th birthday it's been so far...
The beyond beautiful custom drawing above is one super special present
from my incredible brother! Love him to the stars!
You may be able to tell who the artist is but if you don't let me fill you in...
She is Kelly Smith portrait and fashion illustrator behind Birdy & Me.
I'm OBSESSED with her work and my sneaky brother surprised me and had
 Kelly create my very own Birdy & Me piece. 
I died when I opened it framed and all, literally had me speechless along with my other gorg gifts!
Thank you to everyone in my life, I love you all
and can't wait to par-tay this weekend!

ps. Huge thank you and hello to all my new followers! <3

  24. W O W! I wish my brothers knew me that well, to buy me a present like that, without me having to give them hints for months before they get it.. It is such a beautiful piece as well - can´t say I´m not a tiny bit jealous.. Kelly Smith is so talented!

    And happy birthday to you! Hope your day have been great, and I will definitely have an amazing trip. Can´t wait to get to sunshine, and get some new influences ;)

  32. I didn't have any time for blog commenting today but for you of course I need to make an exception. Especially on such a special day ;) HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIANCA!!!

    And seriously, this is one good present. I mean your brother should get an award for this one. It's so thoughtful and then it's Kelly Smith. Kelly Smith!!! And a custom one at that- of you!!! I'm pretty sure I would have just rolled right out of my seat to the floor from the shock at something so awesome. And then I'd just stare at it in a daze.

    Happy 25th Birthday to the best girl in all of blogland!!
