{Valentine's Day} LOVE

For a romantic or fun evening out!

Happy Valentine's Day! 

I hope that you are enjoying this day with people you love - a significant other, friends or family - and enjoy your Friday and the three-day-weekend ahead! Above is a photo of a dress I found that I would absolutely love to be wearing this Valentine's Day - it's so cute and festive, (buy it here: Poppy In for a Visit Dress from ModCloth) and would be perfect again in the summer -  but I already bought the cutest shirt!

Here's the shirt: 

It's from Target! So cute, right?

I'm a bit owl-obsessed so this shirt was perfect!

I had a wonderful day at work, and I was more spoiled today than I was at Christmas! It left me feeling very loved (and sugar-filled, but in a really good way). I even received a red rose from one of my students! Cutest thing ever.

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody!

{Valentine's Day} Blind Date with a Book

Blind Date with a Book

It's one of the cheesiest holidays of the year, but of all of the date ideas I've stumbled upon, this is my favorite!

I was in a bookshop downtown when I saw a small table filled with books covered in kraft paper and a short description of the book inside - it's essentially a blind date with a book! Such a cute idea! My roommate and I bought two books, and while we hadn't heard of either, I'm hoping that we will love them!

Would you go on a blind date with a book?

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and if you are celebrating, it's often best to give a token of affection on one of the most romantic days of the year! I picked these things mostly because they were cute and/or pink, red, white, or purple. Or all of the above. 

What are you hoping for this Valentine's Day?

Quote of the Week: {February 10, 2014}

"Wherever you go, whatever you do, be in love!" 

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Valentine's Day is this week (what? When did that happen?) and love is in the air. Also, bitterness, but I hope that those of you unhappy with this holiday remember that Valentine's Day is just another day. 

Personally, I think Valentine's Day can be used to show the love you have for anyone in your life, and this year I plan on spending it with my best friends, some silly movies, and Chinese takeout. Or a heart-shaped pizza. We haven't decided yet. 

I love my friends, my students, and my family, so those are the people that I am celebrating this year. I celebrate my love for them in all sorts of ways throughout the year, but Valentine's Day is my excuse to be extra cheesy. 

Also, I love wearing red, pink, white, and anything sparkly, so get excited! 

What are your plans for this Friday evening?

xoxo
