ace.


"Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn."


I'm a sentimental time bomb. I love the mushy, gushy stuff.

And I know you're saying "big deal! just like every other girl!"

So think about the normal girly and multiply that by about 1,000.

So, needless the say, I LOVE Valentine's Day. I get that it's commercialized and frivolous, but I look forward to it every year. I go online and look at all the lovely things I'd like to get for Valentine's Day and all the lovely things I'd like to wear on Valentine's Day. I make love song playlists and listen to them incessantly. It's probably a sickness but I am a girl to the nth degree so it seems natural to me.

I have Valentine's Day plans this year but I'm keeping it on the DL.
I don't want to jinx it.
Enough said.

Please enjoy my Valentine's Day selections and then go snuggle up to your hunny and tell them they mean the world to you.

(then watch romeo + juliet. the story never gets old. thanks william shakespeare.)



this is printed on vintage paper from an encyclopedia, how cool.

A few of my favorite somee cards for this month of love.





I sure do wish I had some place to wear this.


I love the glamour and glitter. olive green is one of my favorites right now.







Every girl wants to be whisked away on v-day.
This might just be my year.



add cowboy boots and done!



I'm so in love with this look. Very 80s, very sexy.





This is my Valentine's Day date selection. I might just need to invest in this little number.





I would live in this!

crush.

Here's some meep to crush on for the day/year/life.


I realize to some this would seem uber-dorky.
However, I totally dig on pop-culture ridiculousness.








strange name, yes but these are super cute. I've purchased other things from this etsy shop and was very pleased with it. The earrings are all very meep and at a very good price.





Lovely Living Room
found here.

I came across this on one of my daily blog-reading binges. I love to see that other people's closets invade the rest of the house as mine has been known to do. This girl has her own little "complete the look" project runway accessories wall. love it! want it!




I love this dress because it reminds me of this presidential look.
