I’m usually not a huge birthday boy, but when life gives you one of those milestone birthdays… you have to deliver.
So I decided to throw a Kaftan Party.
A CAFTAIL celebration 🎉
At first, I was honestly a little nervous making such a big ask of my friends. A full kaftan dress code? That could’ve gone very wrong. But I wanted to create a moment… a fantasy… an evening where everyone stepped out of their everyday life and came to play.
And WOW… Asheville absolutely delivered.
The colors, the fabrics, the drama, the glamour, the laughter — everybody showed up ready to celebrate life, friendship, fashion, and joy. It was one of those evenings that reminded me why I love this community so much.
A huge thank you to my friend for creating such beautiful food and flowers, to everyone who helped set up and bring the evening together, to Dj for keeping the energy alive with amazing beats, and to DayTrip for the delicious cocktails and making the night feel so special.
I went home with a very full heart tonight. I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such creative, loving, fabulous people.
Here’s to getting older, creating magic, and moving forward into bigger and better things.
