February Wish List

Here are all the cute things I'm wishing for this month.

1. Peter Pan Collar Top in Thyme from Boden, $78

I absolutely love the telephones on this top, as well as the hint of mint in the print. Rhyming! ;) Plus, can you ever really go wrong with a peter pan collar? I think not.

2. Platinum Plate Dinosaur Necklace from The Alchemy Shop, $27.99

You had me at "dinosaur." The second-grader in me is running around the playground screaming with excitement!

3. Just As Imagined Necklace in Mushroom from ModCloth, $22.99
Don't know why, but I really like things with mushrooms printed on them. And that isn't some weird drug reference.

4. Vintage Cutout Shoulder Bag in Mint Green from Oasap, $38.94 (on sale)
I don't like the taste of mint, but I sure do love the color. And the cutouts and closure? Sound the alarm--we're reaching high levels of cuteness!

5. You're in Luck Dress from ModCloth, $89.99
I've been eyeing this dress with ladybugs and four-leaf clovers printed on it for months. It would be great to wear on St. Patty's Day. If only it would go on sale!

6. Yvette Cream Flats from B.A.I.T. Footwear, $58
B.A.I.T. has come out with 60s-inspired lace-up jogger flats, and I don't think they could be any cuter. All of the floral prints are adorable, but I'm really digging this white pair.

If anyone wants to send me any of these things, my mailbox is open. ;)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Thanks so much for helping me decide which outfit to wear for Valentine's Day!

The Alchemy Shop Mint Cardi with the bow details and red polka dot dress got the most love, so that's what I'm wearing today. It was actually my favorite, too! :) Here were all the contenders in case you missed them: Help Me Dress for Valentine's Day.

Always the sweetheart, Matt got me a dozen ombre roses that transition from yellow to pink. So gorgeous! <3

He also gave me Valentine's Day M&Ms with cute images and messages on them. Sweets from my sweetie.

And I baked him chocolate cupcakes. They were originally supposed to be red Funfetti cupcakes, and I had mixed the batter and popped them in the oven. But then I noticed a peculiar smell wafting through my kitchen. The culprit? Vegetable oil with a "Best Used By" date of May 4, 2010! Oops.

Everything went in the trash, and I went back to the grocery store for fresh oil and new cake mix. There was no Funfetti mix left, so chocolate was the next choice. I don't think Matt minded--he took some of the cupcakes to work and just texted that I should open my own bakery! I'll make sure to check expiration dates on all the ingredients before I sell any treats to the public! :)

Cleo is joining the Valentine's Day fun with her striped "L<3VE" T-shirt. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Cutest. Dog. Ever!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day! Thanks so much for all your love and support of this blog. I appreciate each and every view, follow and comment. <3

Possible Valentine's Day Outfit: Corset Back Dress

Sometimes the details make the dress, and that's the case with this one from Simply Be.

The cute corset back and the matching ribbon along the front piping and pockets set this dress apart from others in my wardrobe. I also like the wide neckline.

I've added punches of red to this outfit to make it stand out for Valentine's Day. It's a contender for what I'll wear on Feb. 14. How do you think it compares to my other possible Valentine's Day outfits? Tell me in the comments!

Possible Valentine's Day Outfit: Red Rose Cardi and Black

I really miss Fred Flare.

The online store was a haven where all things cute, fun and quirky were sold to people like me to give as gifts to friends and family. In November, the shop closed after 15 years because it was no longer profitable.

The Fred Flare blog has continued, but even that looks like it's about to be shut down. In a short message Sunday, Fred Flare founders said the post would be their last. What a sad day indeed.

In addition to novelty gifts, Fred Flare offered cute clothing and accessories. It's where I found this rose cardigan and the black-and-white purse.

I put them together in an outfit that just might be perfect for Valentine's Day. Compare it to my other V-Day options and tell me what you think!
