I Heart You!

There's a crazy blizzard* outside so what better thing to do than to stare at pretty pictures for Valentine's Day?  I don't know about you but I totally want a chocolate panini and some champagne right about now.

My husband is actually on his way home right now since the blizzard is in full effect and things are getting nuts out there.  Chicago is actually starting to shut down...unbelievable.  Here's hoping the schools close down so our seriously pregnant Hadley doesn't have to travel to the opposite side of town to sit in an empty classroom tomorrow.  My fingers are crossed!

Stay warm, everyone!

* Just for the record, I prefer the Dairy Queen kind over the mother nature kind.

Dreaming in color :: Peach

It's so dreary outside, not to mention cold.  So I've taken to turning to lusting after colors that provoke warmth and happiness.  After spotting the dress earlier, I decided to check out more peach-colored things that would lift my winter blues right into spring peaches...or something like that.

1.  Mod Cloth Yoke of the Day Dress in Giggle
2.  Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner (sparkly champagne)
3.  Anthropologie Scattered Chevrons Curtain
4.  Essie Nail Polish in Tart Deco
