tagged together in 55 photos birthday + ellen On Monday afternoon we got together to celebrate Meredith's birthday! Love all these ladies. Lizzy was there and brought over my copy of her book so she could sign it for me! Thanks, Lizzy! Congrats on the book! <3 This camera sort of sucked in low light. Cell phones were eating away at the camera market and they started putting in cheaper light-sensing chips! Anyway, still sort of love the pics! We love you, Ellen! <3 Make a wish! ...sing Happy Birthday to Ellen! ...Ellen's birthday (a few days early). On Saturday evening, Ellen and I went up to Meredith's to celebrate her birthday!

Happy Brithday, Ellen! Walking back to our apartment; arms laden with presents. (PS - Babes!) Happy birthday, Meredith! We all met up at an all-raw vegetarian place called Quinntessence.

The birthday girl blowing out her birthday cupcake! ...Ellen's birthday! Yaaaaaay! Gurj and Ellen rolling around on the floor playing with the inflatable tree. Ellen getting herself a nice long drink of monkey-milk! Ellen, Gurj and Brandon. Ellen decided to go avant-garde and challenge our perceptions of "functional clothing" with this stunning piece entitled "Crotch Bow." Tres chic! Paris awaits, mon petit génie! Ellen modeled the new "cone collar" piece from her forthcoming spring collection. Then Ellen decided to make Leigh a shirt (and Leigh decided to dance while she made it). After cake, Vinay said goodbye and left me with the three loveliest ladies I know! Thanks again for coming out last minute, you guys! The next night we went out for Ellen's birthday! Happy birthday, Ellen!
