This is a totally different silhouette for me. I have to admit I am uncomfortable today walking around it in but I really like it from looking at the photos! I wanted to be a little Valentiney without wearing a red dress. The belt was a gift for Valentine's day from Dave. (He shoved it in the cart after I put it down!)
I did a pink eyemakeup and pinky peach blush to lend to the pink and red holiday. There will be more detailed photos of makeup in my next post! (If you like Wonder Woman you might want to check back!)
I painted my nails red too.
This is a total accident but my entire outfit matches my Valentine's present from Dave.
He had M&Ms made with Waffle and Daisyboo on it and 2 references to my favorite movies. (4 eva from the movie Fear and Eat me from Alice in Wonderland! Dave made me an Alice costume before!)
When I do finally open one of the bags I will take better photos. I just couldn't bear to do it this morning! I am going to get a little glass jar to keep some forever. He is a clever and thoughtful guy and I feel bad I made him pick out his own present. :p The rest of my presents will be in the next post. (well not really Valentine's presents but Makeup we had planned on purchasing for months it just happened to come out this weekend. But it's all pink so call it all Valentine's!!)
He ordered them from mymms.com He says you can pick out the colors, 2 images and 2 with text. I just noticed that not only do they match my outfit they match my favorite wallet.
How was your weekend? Are you doing anything for Valentine's Day?
I know many people hate Valentine's day and call it commercial. I don't care I love it. I love an excuse to tell people I love them and them not be able to talk back! (my family isn't mushy and because of that I am so bad at the mushy stuff.) Also this week is the anniversary of us shacking up. (Or Dave moving cross country to save me from a horrible situation) and Dave's mom and sisters birthdays are this week! Plus, RED HEARTS! <3 <3
We are going to have a super special dinner tonight, we decided to make it at home because everywhere will be crowded tonight and we are going out tomorrow night for steak! Tonight Chicken parm with polenta cakes and white chocolate cashew brownies! YUMMMMMMMMM Our weekend was low key. Dave was sick until Sunday. Sunday we went out to grocery and household shop. We hadn't moved the car in weeks we needed to stock up on everything! It was so nice not having to rush because he had to be home for homework. We took our time and used fistfulls of coupons. (It was impressive how many we used at Target! That is what happens when you go a month more in between visits)
Now I am off to eat the raspberry chocolate my friend Annie just gave me! <3

I actually made Chicken Parmesan for our Valentine's dinner as well,for the first time ever.It was quite yummy.Of course,it had to be followed by some chocolate ;)
PS.I also loved the movie 'Fear' - Marky Mark rules.
PPS.My family isn't mushy either,and because of that,I have the hardest time saying 'I love you' to anyone.But I can show it really well!
The pink is a really cute touch! It's a great silhouette for you so I hope you get used to it! It's sophisticated!
We're also not going out for supper tonight - Scott works until 9 anyway, but we've never done Valentine's day on Valentine's day because restaurants are so crazy!
PS - every time I see your photos in front of the stacks it reminds me of how much I liked my student library aide jobs.
Hubs and I had personalized M&Ms at our wedding as 'favors'. What a great gift with your kitties faces!
I unfortunately spent the weekend sick, but Hubs and I did manage to grab lunch at our fave cajun food place today.
Our weekend was great, filled with booze and steak. We celebrated VD last night because we are participating in Meatless Monday, and Valentines Day is just not the same without steak. I gave Jamie flowers on Wednesday so that they could bloom at the office and look lovely today, and last night I gave her a photo coffee table book of our motorcycle trips from last Summer. She loved it and is showing it off at work today. :)
We went out for our Valentine's Day dinner last night since I work all day and into the evening today. It kind of was a bummer night, but oh well. I made him some mint chocolate lava cake/brownie things and feel good about my efforts. This isn't really my favorite holiday anyway.

sunday we basically cleaned house and ran errands. we exchanged out v-day gifts this weekend. he went low-key with flowers + a card since he went upscale for my bday (diamond earrings, yay!). i got him a pocket watch and had it engraved.
usually i prefer NOT to go out on v-day itself, since everywhere is crowded, but we managed to get a reservation at this new gastropub nearby. it took the place of a restaurant we really liked, which had closed down, but i have heard good things about this new place, so we are excited to try it out. *fingers crossed!*
