Happy Valentine's Day!

Today was red, pink, and white day at school to celebrate Valetine's Day. Here's my ensemble:

I also painted my nails red, accented with a pink heart! 

I had a wonderful day, got a few Valentine's and a couple of sweets. But best of all, I got to chaperone a dance- oh, it brings back the memories!!

Gimme all your lovin', all your hugs and kisses too

Soon the day of love will be upon us. I'm not a fan of this holiday (single girl syndrome?) but really, what girl can deny herself chocolate, candles, lovely stationary, a darling red dress and some fabulous accessories? 

Live Love pillow $68/ First Crush candle $34.95

Twin Link bracelet $50/ Sweet Surprise Gift Pack by Mor $25/ Ruffled Oska dress $168

Free Valentine's Printable!

Valentine's is not my favourite holiday. In fact, I think it's kind of overrated. However, tonight while the winds were a-blowing, I created these printable gift tags just for you. 

Simply right click the image, save it to your computer, and print it off on some heavy cardstock. Cut them out, punch a hole in the tag, and use some pretty ribbon to secure it. Voila, instant gift tags for your Valentine!

V-Day!

First, my alarm did not go off and I woke up too late to make it to class on time. 

Then, I looked out my window and saw this:

Great start to the day. It's like the Gods know how much I dislike this day to begin with! 

However, I did have a great weekend! It consisted of:

Chocolate covered strawberries

and 

The Bourne Trilogy

and

The Fast and the Furious. 

I chose to reward myself with my two three loves: Paul Walker, Matt Damon and chocolate.

Happy Valentine's Day loves!! xo

Chocolate Porn

Martha Stewart is a goddess/genius/idol. She never fails to impress me with her ingenuity and creativity. These chocolate desserts for Valentine's Day are almost too much to bear. They all look so delicious!

Who cares if you're taken or single this Valentine's Day, I say indulge in one of these simply delicious and decadent desserts! xo

Gleeful!

Did anyone else catch the episode of Glee last night? I KNOW that I said I was not fond of Valentine's Day, but the Valentine's Day episode of Glee had me smiling from ear to ear for the entire hour. It was so funny and sweet, I couldn't help but grin. I also loved the song choices, but my favourite by far was "Fat Bottomed Girls" by Puck. I know it was insulting to Lauren, but I'm rooting for them to get together anyways!

On another Glee note, have you heard of the Sephora by O.P.I Glee set of mini nail colours? With names like "Slushied, Gleek Out, and Sue vs. Shue" these colours are a must-have for any die hard Gleek. And at $24 for the entire set, I'd say that's a pretty reasonable price to pay for a lifetime (okay, maybe not, but I'm sure the polish lasts awhile) of happiness!

I'll leave you with a final Glee-related find that is completely darling. The blog What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear? is completely genius and I must admit, fosters my unhealthy relationship with cardigans, pencil skirts, and anything feminine. Let's be serious, Emma is a fashion icon and you can go here to find out how to get her look for less, and just to revel in her style. *Sigh* Make sure to check it out!

Until then, xo

February Love

Valentine's Day is just around the corner! I'm not into the cheesy aspect of Valentine's, and because I'm single, there's a certain disdain I hold for this day, just because I have to watch other people engage in overtly affectionate behaviour. *Insert gag here.* However, I hold true to the fact that Valentine's Day is a day to pamper your loved ones, and it's a good excuse to pamper the person I love the most-ME! Wait, did that sound narcissistic? I'm really not, but let's be honest- if you don't love yourself, then no one else will appreciate you for who you are. So single ladies (and taken ladies), take this day to pamper yourself with a little something special! I found my four top picks from a new-to-me store called Ruche. They have a section entitled "Shop L'Amour" which I think is darling.

Mug/Ring/Pin/Necklace

I would love to have that mug to drink my morning coffee out of, and I adore accessories! I can never get enough! What about you, do you practice a little self-love on Valentine's Day, single or not? Or am I the only one? 

Until tomorrow, my lovelies xo
