It’s My Birthday!

It’s my birthday today and no, I am not telling you how old I am! LOL! Let’s just say I am 32. Again.

I thought it would be fun to post some of my dream items that if money or size or possibility were no object, I would love to receive for my birthday. So here are my top five birthday wishes:

I have wanted to own this Christian Dior ball gown circa 1953 ever since I saw it in a book. To me this dress is the ultimate in glamour.

A ticket to Paris to see the Spring/Summer fashion shows.

To be Anna Wintour for a month. (This is her office)

Just one night but he has to be in character of Noah from The Notebook. He can even call me Allie.

I’ve always wanted a vintage car. As a matter of fact I seriously considered purchasing one of Dita Von Teese’s cars that she was selling on eBay, but it isn’t very practical, especially with kids. So maybe after the kids are grown I will get one.

And there you have it. Five dream gifts for my birthday.

So if you could have anything for your birthday, with money being no object, what would you get?

    Happy Birthday, lovely! I adore the gown. I hope your day is wonderful!!! :)

    I think I would have a shopping spree at BCBG for my birthday. I could do a ton of damange in a short time! Also, I would love to go back in time to see my house (which was built in 1960) and how it originally looked when it was built (weird, right). The bathrooms have been redone, and I am convinced that there was gold wallpaper at some point, although it’s very plain and neutral now. I would be happy to stay in 1960, too!!!

    Your blog brightens my days…I hope you have a fabulous birthday and a fabulous year! ;)

    Happy birthday! I adore you and I agree with all your extravagant wishes. I think I would love to spend six months traveling all over Europe in the summertime.

    Always dream big! xo

    Love all the dream gifts especially the gown! Tip….Ryan Golsing likes Jamaica and stays at Round Hill Hotel alot:-) hee hee.

    My dream gifts would be….a private jet, so no more lines and Immigration etc….and a few homes scattered around the world…Miami, Cape Cod, LA, Bermuda, Paris….that’s all, really!

    Have a good and blessed birthday.

    Happy Birthday! I think your birthday wishes are perfect!

    Happy Birthday! That Dior dress is stunning and so is the vintage car. I would love to get something classy and sexy but out here a big old heavy car wouldn’t do good in the snow.

  8. Happy Birthday!!! Great dream wishlist there. For me if money/size was no object then a a vintage Givenchy little black dress would be the ultimate. I have wanted one since I was a little girl watching Audrey Hepburn movies with my gran.

  9. Harlow says:

    Happy Birthday darling! I hope your family spoils you with gifts that are equally fabulous, you deserve it! Have a wonderful day :)

    I dag er det Bethany’s fodselsdag -hurra, hurra, hurra!
    This is a danish birthday song translating to “today it is Bethany’s birthday, hoorray, hoorray, hoorray”. I would want one more vintage car. I already have one, my dream car – and my own personal mechanic. ;) I wish you a lovely day. :)

  11. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, dearest Bethany, happy birthday to you!

    Awww, my sweet friend, I truly hope that your day was just as amazing and beautiful as you are, and that every wish your heart desires comes true in the year ahead.

    ♥ Jessica

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

    For my birthday I would LOVE a circle dress from Vivien of Holloway. FABULOUS!
    It is my birthday in 2 weeks – I doubt I will be getting my dream dress, it will more than likely be something homemade or even better Breakfast in Bed!

  16. Happy Belated Birthday! I guess if money were no object I would want either a cottage (with 6 bedrooms, I know, not exactly a cottage, but I have 5 kids) in France, or one in England.

  17. Happy Birthday! Belated wishes for a wonderful year ahead full of happiness, health and more fabulous, fun blog posts. I have REALLY enjoyed the Glamorous Housewife!

    If I had to choose a gift for my birthday …… a store filled with clothes and shoes … 50 years remained closed to this day …

    Happy Birthday! What I want for my birthday is a pretty apron. I’ve been looking everywhere for one but with no success.

  21. Claudette says:

    I’m not blogging lately, but came across your sweet blog. Happy Birthday yesterday and BTW Ryan was born in my home town and moved to TO as a teen. I went out with his uncle Perry. Ryan was just a baby…. just thought I’d let you know ; )
    My BD is in March… looking forward to it and I’m proud to say I’ll be 57.
    Love from Canada.

    Assuming this would also mean breaking the space-time continuum, I would love to meet Katherine and Oscar Fabrique, the couple who built my home in 1904. What was their lifestyle? How did they live? What were their aspirations? What would think of my life here?

    And, on a rational note, have fabulous birthday; hopefully, your hubby will take you somewhere equally fabulous!

  23. Penny says:

    Happy Birthday! Hope you had an amazing day! That ballgown is fantastic!

    Mine would be…
    A lifetime’s supply of truffles (both sorts)
    Lauren Bacall’s style
    A vintage wooden speedboat
