I’m all about trying new things, in fashion that is, otherwise trying anything new is more like a bad scene from the national budget debate. That’s the fantastic thing about fashion though, it’s not too serious that you have to worry about making an incorrect decision every now and again when putting yourself out there to try something new. I’ve loved these crossover denim pants for a while now, but only recently decided to give them a go. I’ve received a ton of comments and it’s approximately a 50/50 split on the love/hate register. Good thing my vote is the only one that currently counts, and I’m 110% into them.
With the vast amount of Seahawks football that I took in during the month of January, I somehow managed to neglect my book club hosting duties. For February I amped up the sweetness factor in an effort to win over the lovely ladies of the club, and with Valentine’s Day taking place a couple of days prior, it had a decidedly ‘pink and red’ flavour to it. All of our sweet treats were titled after key messages from our January read, The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown. Fabulous conversation, tasty treats, and loads of laughs, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my Sunday.

For the most part I tend to think that Valentine’s Day gets more hype than it necessarily deserves. But at the same time, every now and again it’s nice to let down your guard and partake in some downright cheesy romance. Whatever you’re doing, whether it’s spending an afternoon with you closest girlfriends, dinner out with your man, or time by yourself with a delicious bottle glass of wine, I wish you all an amazing day. May it be filled with stylish accents of pink and red (red wine counts).
I used to love Valentine’s Day as a child. I loved the act of picking out the perfect little Valentine’s cards for my friends, and heading off to school with a thick bundle of sweet nothings to deliver to my classmates and crushes. I still love sending my friends cards, letters and packages on special occasions, and I love being able to send visitors away with a little something. This Valentine’s Day I have the perfect sweet treat to deliver to your own Valentine(s). It takes no time at all to melt down some chocolate, dip your pretzels, and get as creative as you can with decorating. Sorry long distance friends, I want to say that some of this deliciousness is headed your way, but I kept having to eat pretzels that just weren’t up to par.

Lately I’ve been seeing all sorts of gorgeous tea length skirts, and when I laid my eyes on this beauty, I just knew it was meant to be. I initially held out in fear of being too short vertically challenged to pull the tea length off, but it’s all about balance. Tucking in my blouse and pairing it with a cropped jacket and sky high heels offset the longer length of the skirt. Prancing around in this outfit made me feel worthy of a Mad Men audition, a dinner party hostess, Betty Draper type, obviously.
