There are many simple and inexpensive ways to show your love for that someone special to you. One fantastic way? Food. Instead of buying a cliche chocolate heart box, make something that will make their hearts (and stomachs) happy.

Happy Friday, friends! I hope everyone has had a lovely week so far. I’ve been up to my neck in schoolwork, but alas, it’s the last semester! The last semester is always the worst it seems.
PS. Isn’t the print above absolutely adorable?! It’s by artist Emma Block. Pink cakes, parisian, and a dachshund?! Pretty perfect if you ask me!
- Be happy, make others happy.
- Umbrellas.
- I just want a hug.
- I wish I saw this pretty locket keychain before I created my birthday wish-list.
- Distance doesn’t matter when you love someone.
- Pretty in pink and polka dots (via Ruche).

I thought, since Valentine’s Day is next week, it’d be fun to do a couple of outfits revolving around love and hearts, and not an obnoxious shade of pinkish-red.
This would be a nice, casual day time outfit to wear at work or running errands. I saw the sweater while browsing Pinterest and I immediately fell in love with it. The flats (from Anthropologie) have little Eiffel Towers on them!
A little black dress would come in handy if you were to find yourself going on a date with your someone special. Pair with a smaller red clutch and some heels, you’re set to go! Also, for some corniness - a key pendant from Tiffany’s (there are less expensive silver ones, too).
Happy Monday! The Super Bowl was yesterday, and sadly the Patriots did not win. But, alas! I shall not be a poor sport. They are still a brilliant team, and I shall love them forever.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

It’s February 1st, which means it’s almost my birthday (the 19th). I’ll be 27 this year (yikes)! I’m mostly excited because when February rolls around, it means spring isn’t too far around the corner. Ah, warmer weather!
I’ve made a small list of birthday wishes:
Calligraphy Monogram Stamp (a ‘K’) | Blossom iPhone Case (pink or white) | Delfonics Roll Pen Case
I couldn’t resist this Owl Pocket Watch Necklace, how adorable is it?!
I’m not sure about you all, but I’m definitely ready for my spring wardrobe. Brighter colors, less layers, more skirts/dresses. The bright plaid shirt and bucket bag lend for some color, while the thicker/longer skirt and tights allow for warmth.

Happy Monday, Readers! As I mentioned last week, I am back in chilly Massachusetts. I miss sunny California quite a bit, but I shall make my return in four months, and then I’ll be happily living there! I’m sure until then, time will progress speedily. For now, I hold all the warm thoughts that Southern California filled me with for the wonderful month I was there.
It was decided that Elly would join me to the east coast as she has never been. So far, she isn’t a huge fan of the cold. Of course, I missed my darling puppies immensely while I was away and I’m over the moon delighted to be reunited with them.
Also, I shall like to express my gratitude to my very patient chauffeur, er, boyfriend, Aubrey. It was awfully super of him to put up with me for a whole month… and drive me around everywhere on our multiple adventures.

Sorry lovely readers, it’s been a busy week and I’ve grudgingly returned to the cold east coast. I’m in the process of organizing my life from being absent for a whole month, so I shall return to regular posting next Monday. Have a lovely weekend.
Happy Friday, friends! It’s my last weekend in sunny Los Angeles/Santa Monica so I must make the best of it before returning to frigid temperatures and snow in chilly New England. I shall be happy to see my darling pups, but I’ll miss it here dearly for the next four months until I move back in June. I also begin my final semester of grad school next Monday! I can’t believe I’m almost DONE!
- These pink suede loafers are fantastic.
- The Bark Side of the Moon. Just watch it. It’s awesome.
- This will be my birthday cake. Yup.
- Zucchini fries! Nom.
- I would very much like to have these pretty vintage-like spice tins on my kitchen counter.
- He’s Cary fucking Grant = one of the greatest gif’s, ever.
- I really really love this flowery iPhone case.
