How do you guys feel about Valentine's Day?
I'm pretty ambivalent. We don't go all out for it around here. I much prefer just-because flowers. We usually cook a nice dinner at home...something a little more luxe than our everyday meals, like lobster and eat our weight in dessert.
But if I can use a holiday to treat myself to a new candle or a little Tibi, why not? I love this little arrow bracelet too, for wearing daily well after the holiday.

That heart top is so pretty! I love heart-themed things year round, but V-day makes it acceptable for me to wear them~
ReplyDeleteLove that arrow bangle...I always forget about the "cupid" element of Valentine's day!
ReplyDeleteI love those shoes!! That color is so great!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I have that lip gloss and love it! I need to pull that back out. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeletei've never really been a fan... which makes matt very happy. growing up, ohio had sweetest day and i liked that more! but i do love those garnet rings!
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of indifferent to Valentine's Day. I'm not indifferent to that gilded arrow bangle, though. I've been wearing mine non-stop! ;)

We don't really go all out either- our six month wedding anniversary was on the 13th last year, and it was so sleepy at the restaurant that I think we're going to make going out to dinner on the day before our new tradition (and yeah- we're one of those dorky couples who likes to do more than just the one year anniversary, haha) I don't remember what we did on the actual day last year, but I like your idea of cooking something a little special!
ReplyDeleteEh, I don't know what to think about Valentine's day. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. It's whatever.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we're going to do anything super major for it...but I am sending out Valentine's cards to my friends, and I love little heart-related things, so this time of year is always kind of fun!
ReplyDeletea girl after my own heart! it's not that i don't like vday, i just prefer not to celebrate it with a ton of awkward "couples'..but i don't discriminate against desserts and presents :-)

Hi! I found your blog on the alt summit class blog roll and I'm so happy I did.
ReplyDeleteThis round up is amazing! Easy Lover is one of my favorites!
Have a lovely week!
Thank you! Easy Lover always brightens my day. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThat's basically why we don't! How is a rushed prix fixe menu romantic?!
ReplyDeleteLoved your Valentine's cards, Brookelyn!
ReplyDeleteIt's so much more fun to spend time together cooking a special meal than crammed in a restaurant eating a forced prix fixe that's rushed! I think your tradition is really cute :)
ReplyDeleteI have several of those rings in different colors. They're so fun to stack!
ReplyDeleteThat's the best part!
ReplyDeleteI love the black & white version, too. I think you could wear that all year long!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of Valentine's, but we don't usually do much special celebrating. I think this year we are going to go to a hockey game and eat our weight in nacho cheese covered corn dogs! I wouldn't mind finding that heart tank at the end of the night thought!

LOVE those pink flats, and that heart tank is the cutest! I'm kind of ambivalent about it too...and love the idea of staying in, cooking something delish and sharing a bottle of wine :)

Sososo many pretty picks! I adore those garnet rings and have a weakness for Tibi camis - the hearts are perfection!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any special plans but I do love a holiday and any excuse to indulge a little! :)
