Lace Romance

Comments (5)

Even though I start embracing the day early into the month, sending out hand signed valentine’s to my girlfriends, treating myself to a bright red box of assorted chocolates, and filling the house with heart shaped balloons, I look forward to keeping February 14th low-key.  This year the bf and I decided to avoid the date-night crowds, opting instead for matinee movie and a nice lunch at one of our favorite restaurants.  It still felt romantic and indulgent without all the overpriced prefix menus and long ticket lines.

Be Mine

Happy Valentine’s Day!  When it comes to this heart filled holiday, I just love all the love.   Whether you’re single, attached, or “it’s complicated,” I urge you to throw on a pretty dress, some bright red lipstick, and grab a family member, friend or significant other and spend today with someone you love.

Sunday Respite

Comments (3)

Between New York City outings and surprise party festivities, making new friends and spending quality time with old ones, this weekend was a whirlwind.  By Sunday all I wanted to do was lay around in comfortable clothes and give my aching feet a rest, so the bf and I happily did just that, stepping out only when necessary to grab a new movie from Redbox or pick up some snacks.  It was the perfect way to recoup from a fast-paced and fun few days.

Chambray Way

Comments (3)

I absolutely love the simplicity of a chambray top and skirt.  Somehow it always seems to be simultaneously feminine, casual, relaxed and snappy.  Even when paired with the most neutral bottom (a cream pleated midi), a couple stand-out accessories manage to accomplish all that and then some.  What’s your favorite way to wear chambray?

IFBCon

The bf and I headed up to New York City yesterday to attend the Independent Fashion Blogger Conference.  While the content (and goodie bags) you’re able to take away from any blogger conference is great, what truly makes these events worthwhile are the opportunities they allow for connecting face-to-face with fellow bloggers and peers.  The day was well spent meeting several new-to-me bloggers, like Kristin and Mary, catching up with friends made at conferences past, like Kiley, and even chatting with a blogger who’s style I’ve long admired and respected, Karen of WDUGT.  All-in-all it was a good day spent amongst great company.
