2012 young generation always finds the best, worst, and sometimes random reasons to go out with your loved ones and friends and have an awesome time! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, sport games, sit-ins, clubbing, bowling, you name it, we have all probably done it all!!!!!! In a generation so filled with life and passion, turning the most boring nights into memories is as easy as the blink of an eye! Therefore we do it, because we can! The most common reason to do anything and go anywhere these days is to celebrate a birthday. Naturally, birthdays are important and have been for many years now, but the evolution of HOW it is celebrated I find most fascinating! Sure the traditional family gathering, with cakes and presents still exists, but the new trend to celebrate your birthday with friends is simply this: Fashion, Company and a shot of Rum! But this routine does not suffice for THE birthday of all birthdays, no, not sweet sixteen (where you prove that there is really nothing SWEET about you), nor the lovely eighteen (where things you have been doing illegally are done out in the open to prove a point!), but the coming of age, and adulthood: the 21st Birthday.
It is a night where the young declare themselves mature! It is when the “young adult” is given the Key to Adulthood. Sometimes, by certain tradition, they are given an actual Key that signifies their independence. Why would one NOT want to go all out for this day, or night, or even the entire weekend?!
You are probably wondering why I would bring up this topic and you are probably assuming that I just recently had my 21st party. Well, you are wrong; my time will come next year! This year, however, was the year where 99% of my friends dreamed, planned, and partied up a storm with class, elegance and 6-inch heels!

I might have not attended all of these beautiful ladies’ events, but I made it my mission to show the world how it is done! Tables booked, formality a must, cocktails all around, champagne for the classy touch and a box of Cartier jewellery to sweeten the deal!
Let’s not forget to mention the absolute fashionable sense that was put into these Birthday looks! With those outfits, hair, make-up, and nails, anyone who was there would have spotted from a mile away who the Birthday Lady was!
TAKE NOTE: Selloane demonstrates the absolute beauty of colour blocking perfectly below:
Stay tuned for other 21st bashes that will leave you with some bright ideas! If you think this was it, it’s just the beginning! These Gorgeous Friends of mine sure know how to CELEBRATE!
Maybe you might get and idea or two on how to celebrate your big day;-)!
