a silly muse

First, it’s necessary to watch some Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn goodness. Adorable, right? Right.

I thought I’d share some non-cliche ideas for having a love filled day with your special someone. I already posted some yummy delicious food ideas. Create a little package and fill it with treats, decorate a pencil to look like an arrow and send a love letter. If your loved one is far away, send spring time flowers or a fruit bouquet and have a Skype date. Fill your day with adventure, hug a lot, and of course, make sure everything you do is filled with love.

Granted, you should be sure to tell your favorite person you love them every day (and mean it).

My Valentine:

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.

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).
