My Favorite Valentine.

My mom is amazing. She knows how to make my day. 

Any guy is going to have a hard time beating my mom's Valentine's Day care packages. 

V-Day

Hi lovelies,

How was everyone's Valentines Day? Mine was so busy that I actually forgot about it for part of the day, and couldn't even pay proper homage to it on my blog! So, here are the pretty images that I thought about posting last night before I fell asleep with my laptop on me....

I completely failed to get in the Valentines spirit this year, for good reason. I'm just happy the day is done. Perhaps next year will be one to remember. 

Valentines Day is Coming Closer...

It's almost here! That (dreaded) holiday full of love, and single people wanting to whack the mushy couples over the head with their roses (or is that just me?!). Anyway, as bitter and anti-Valentines Day as I might sound, I really do love the idea of Valentines Day, I have simply not had one yet to live up to all the hype. One thing I do love about it though is the theme. First of all, pink is my favorite color, and you can't get much girlier than hearts being plastered over everything in sight. I have a feeling one day this might rise to the top of my list of favorite holidays (nothing will ever beat my birthday though). Until then, I will just fantasize and create the perfect Valentines outfit that I will one day wear when I have someplace to go on the dreaded 14th.

Things I'm Loving at the Moment...

...and in no way can afford. A girl can dream though right?

I'm in love with nude pumps. They could be utilized with so many things in my closet right now...and with Spring approaching, I'm thinking they're a must have. 

This bag is ridiculously amazing. Unfortunately, it's about a month's rent. Sometimes I wish my priorities weren't straight...

OH! This is the latest "Nicole's-playing-on-repeat" song. I seem to keep coming back to the sad songs...hopefully soon I'll snap out of it. 

Just a few random things so far for this busy Tuesday! 
Enjoy!

30 for 30

Why hello there everyone. How is your Monday going? Hopefully it's not too harsh. (Eat some Chinese if it is, I just did, and my Monday just got infinitely better. Works like a charm). 

So I've been getting a lot of new blog traffic lately from being on Kendi's 30 for 30 remixer list. I did sign up for it, but unfortunately realized this month is not the best for me. So for all of you that have found your way here through Kendi, I'm sorry to not be participating. I hope however that you will stick around or stop by again! I absolutely LOVE having so many new viewers and comments! Also, when Kendi's spring remix comes around, I will definitely be signing up AND participating!

Sorry again for the false advertising!

Weekend Wisdom

Things I've learned this weekend:

1. Jack & Jill by James Patterson WILL suck you in and force you to read 300 pages in one weekend to see who the killers are...

2. Sometimes having no plans is ok, it leaves time to make those long phone calls to grandmas, and best friends in far-away places. 

3. I may be a month late, but I've finally started my 2011 resolutions, and damn does it feel good.

4. The best time to go to the gym is Friday night, Saturday night, and during the Superbowl. Everyone else may be out doing exciting things, but I didn't have to wait for the treadmill! So there! WIN.

5. Sex And The City is addicting. And so true. I may be late to this game, but I'm already on season 3 and can't get enough. 

6. I always thought I had a shopping problem, apparently this problem extends to grocery stores as well...hmph.

Happy Friday!

Phew, It's Friday!

Work has been ridiculously crazy the last few days so I haven't gotten a chance to think of any exciting posts. My week has basically consisted of microwaving something frozen for dinner when I get home, collapsing on the couch, and steering clear of both the phone and computer for the rest of the night. This has been the only way to preserve my sanity. That, plus a little crafting I've been working on *winkwink*.

So for this Friday afternoon I'm simply going to share some of my favorite images that I've posted on my tumblr this week. 

Hello giant-pink-bow-headband. Love.

 I need to repeat this out loud everyday apparently. 

The Fray anyone?

 I want this necklace. This picture is just beyond gorgeous. 

I want to feel like these two again. 

 Perfectly lovely work area I'm going to need to imitate. 

 One day soon I hope. 

 RINGS. 

 I should hang this on my wall. 

Loving the colors. 

So what are everyone's big weekend plans? This weekend is shaping up to be a pretty mellow, boring one I'm thinking. It will probably revolve around finishing up some crafting, fiddling around with the blog some more, organizing the apartment, and trying out this weeks purchase (I'll fill ya in next week). 

Here's to hoping your weekend is more exciting then mine!
