It happened. I made it through my 20s and today I’ve reached 30 years old. I’m not one to worry about growing older; in fact, I welcome it as with age comes experience and knowledge, or so I hope. My 20s were such an exciting time. I started PurseBlog and PurseForum when I was 21, graduated college, got married, moved to New York and experienced a lot. Growing up never ends, and neither does experiencing life, so I’m excited to welcome my 30s and whatever they bring.
Ok. Uplifting thoughts aside, yikes, I’m 30.
To celebrate, here are 30 items with which I’d love to kick off this new decade of life, from new bags to shoes to beauty items, let’s get the party started for the next 10 years.
