Date Night!

Yesterday evening after our stroll, we went to see Star Trek: Into Darkness (I highly recommend). I decided to go more casual with the dress and booties, but really bold with my makeup. I went neutral but glam on the eyes and super dramatic with a red lip. The new matte finish lipsticks by Kate Moss for Rimmel are AMAZING (and so affordable, between 4.00-6.00 at your local drugstore)! Enjoy and as always thanks for reading!

Hipster-rific!

So I was talking to my little sister last night about when wearing an oversized sweater is and is not appropriate. I convinced her that going on a dinner date with her sometimes boyfriend warranted something a little sexier than an overly large sweater lol...I think a day of studying at the library and roaming around the heights with my boyfriend was appropriate for the oversized sweater though. Come Monday, though, you can find me in short shorts and a fedora. Spring Break '13, Vegas Baby!!! As always thanks for reading :)

14 Days of Love Contd..

So I did previous post at the beginning of February on the 14 days of Love that my wonderful future hubby initiated. Instead of doing a new post on every gift, I decided to wait until after Valentine's day and do one post showing all the amazing gifts he showered me with. I truly have the most amazing partner in life. I hope you all had amazing Valentine's Day's as well :)

                                                   Day 1: Starbuck's NYC Skyline Mug

Day 2: Fleece Heated Blanket from SunBeam

Day 3: Hello Sunshine Flats from Loly in the Sky

Day 4: Michael Kors Leather Watch

Day 6: Beyonce Heat Perfume

Day 7: Fashion Bubble Umbrella

Day 8: Regent Apsley Rain/Snow Boots by Hunter

Day 9: The coolest Leopard Sunshades you ever will see, and a light for my Kindle by Verso

Day 10: Brazilian Wax at Freckle Salon & Spa (If anyone is ever in Brooklyn, I highly recommend this place  they are amazing!)

Days 11-14: All came on day 14 which was Valentine's Day. A beautiful and very thoughtful  V-day card( he even signed it "your hubby"), A lovely bottle of Rose by Moet, A gorgeous bouquet of roses with a custom vase with our picture on it, some very sexy little things from Victoria's Secret, An amazing Valentine's Night Dinner at Ciano NYC (check it out here), and A romantic stay at the Millenium Hilton Hotel ( check rates here).

Legal Files and Early Valentine's

My darling co-worker brought these too cute valentine frog cookies! Just wanted to share with you all, now I'm back to work :).  Happy Early Valentine's Day!

Cute and Easy Valentine's Gifts

Baked Goods!

I'm currently obsessed with the cake in a jar craze. I think they would make the perfect gift for Valentine's day for family members and friends.. They almost look to cute to eat :) See Recipe Here See Cake-O-Jar Idea's Here

I also love the idea of a cookie bouquet. They are inexpensive but a ton of fun to create. All you need is a good boxed or packaged cookie mix or recipe, icing, sprinkles, tissue paper, ribbon, and a small container or basket to arrange them in. For those of you less inclined to bake, I love this cookie bouquet (pictured below) from Corso's Cookies Buy Here

DIY Valentine's Day Cards
With the thousands of manufactured cards out there, what better what to show your loved one's how much you care by making your own homemade V-day cards. See Here for instructions and Here for Design Idea's.

DIY Gift Baskets

Gift baskets are always special, but they can get pretty pricey around a specific holiday and depending on where you buy them from. Why not try putting together your own this year. The best thing about doing it yourself, is that you control the price range and that you control what goes into the basket. You can choose to put in those crazy dress socks from the person's favorite designer or add those Disney princess stickers. Just as an FYI, The Dollar Store is a great place to pick up the supplies necessary for creating the basket!    See How Here See Basket Stuffer Idea's Here Buy Here

14 Days of Love

So this year my boyfriend decided to do something very unique for the days leading up to Valentine's Day. Instead of the normal humdrum of roses and going to dinner on February 14th, he decided to dedicate the 14 days prior to me. The way he explained it, was that he wanted me to feel loved and appreciated for more than just one day. I actually think this is a great idea and can be done anytime of the year, not just February. It's a great way to show your loved one's (romantic and otherwise) how much you care.. Today's gift was a beautiful mug from Starbucks that I had been eyeing for quite some time :) Can't wait to make some soothing  chamomile tea in it.

A Few of My Favorite Things

I love love loveeeee this dress from H&M! I'm semi-obsessed with stripes (see my previous post). I just feel like they make every body shape look great. This dress in particular is nice because it minimizes the waist and gives you that great hour glass silhouette! Get it here!

I'm trying to convince my boyfriend to let us get a dog. I am in love with Boo the World's Cutest Dog! He's a Pomeranian with an adorable haircut. The boyfriend  hasn't budged but I'm persistent :) Boo's Facebook Page

SHAKE SHACK!! I'm a California girl at heart so I love IN-N-OUT BURGER, but Shake Shack is keeping my appetite satisfied while I'm in NYC! Shake Shack!
