My favorite birthday gift was my Red Satchel from The Cambridge Satchel Company in London. This Satchel has been on my wish list for the last 2 years and I was thrilled when Richard went out of his way to order it all the way from the UK! So I patiently await for my new Summer purse with my initials “TLC” embossed in gold to arrive in the mail! – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.

Lunch at Border Grill, Although I have to say their food truck is much better!

My Birthday was hands down the happiest birthday I’ve ever had. I spent the day with my family and dear family friends in Santa Monica. We started off with lunch at Border Grill followed by Mani/Pedi’s at Bellacure, a screening of “Hangover 2” (Which was laugh out loud hilarious!) and dinner at Giorgio Baldi. Above photographed with my wonderful Mother.

Sunday was spent with my 10 best friends at a “French Rivera/Nautical” themed Birthday lunch at Gjelina in Venice. Afterwards we were meant to go bike riding on the boardwalk followed by drinks on the rooftop bar at the Erwin Hotel. However our plans got derailed by a very windy and cold day… Hopefully to only be postponed till later in the Summer. Above I’m modeling my “French Rivera” Outfit.

Even in 1987 I was such a ham for the camera with my yellow heart shaped glasses and my little stuffed raccoon. I was only 4 years old and thought I had my posing down pat…. Haha! Well some things never change and This Saturday I’ll be celebrating My Golden Birthday… 28 on May 28th! Enjoy the Holiday weekend and see you on Tuesday! – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE
