Love Day

Valentines Day has such a bad rep and I'm not really sure why. It's a day for loving EVERYONE, not just a significant other. I received one of those cards we get in grade school, those little pieces of thin cardboard with a cute dogs saying something silly like, "I wuff you." The one I got was of the toy story cast, really cute, from my friend Rachel. She gave them out to so many people because that's what this day is about! Spreading the love! What's your opinion of Valentines Day? Leave a comment telling!:)
But, I do have to brag a little. My boyfriend did get me a stuffed owl he said took him five to get out of a claw machine. He also made little sculptures out of clay. So adorable! And, of course, my favorite... chocolate. Please realize I'm a food addict and I can admit I have a problem.
I can honestly say I was disappointed in the amount of people who dressed up for Valentine's day. I woke up early (mostly thinking I would have to ride the bus since yesterday was a snow day) but also to make sure I was Valentines day ready! I chose this red lace dress I wore a few posts back, since red is what I think of when I think of this day. Plus it's lace... I stuck on this jacket and tights, added a pearl necklace and headed out to see people in sweatshirts and shorts. So sad.

Yes that's snow, yes I'm sitting in it and yes, it's very cold

So. Much. Hair.

The Amazing Bouchique

A few weeks ago I entered a FaceBook contest to win an amazing dress by Bouchique. To my utter amazement, I won! As soon as I saw the package in my mailbox, I couldn't wait to get it open! I drove up in my driveway and sat in my car opening before I even went inside. I tore open the package, and inside was one of the most lovely dresses I've ever had the amazing chance of owning.

The dress features a unique lace pattern on a gossamer-like pattern, with beautiful pearl-like beads following the neckline. When I put on this amazing dress, I instantly felt like I could strut into any New Years party and be the center of attention.

I decided to pair the dress with shoulder duster earrings and a white watch. I also used my heels from dances I go to. Hope you enjoy this dress as much as I did! :D

Statement

People have been trying to make statements lately: chunky jewelry, crazy heels, and so much more. My statement, I decided, be purple lipstick. I was going to go with the normal red but with so many people makeing statements with red, is it really a statement anymore?
