Sunday Social: VDAY!

Happy Sunday night to all you sweet cheeks!

Can I just say.. holy friggin BRRRRR.

Last week it's mid-70s and this weekend we're down to the 30s?

I mean really Florida. Make up your mind.

Anywaaayyyy- doing my FIRST Sunday Social link up with 

Miss Neely at A Complete Waste of Makeup.. 

Topic?! Valentine's Day!

1. Best Valentine's Day you've ever had: 

Well, EVERY Valentine's Day over the past 8 years has been amazing but if I had to choose, and for the sake of this link up- I do, I would say V-Day 2011.

Bry bought us last minute (literally) plane tickets to New York City and

we spent Valentine's night in the cittaaayyy! Seriously. Best ever.

As if the trip alone wasn't enough, we also spent a grand total of $60 on 6

chocolate covered strawberries at the Godiva shop on Times Square. 

Did I mention we waited for over an hour ? 

Honestly, Corin, please be more of a brat...

2. Worst Valentine's Day you've ever had: 

Ouch. Ok! So in 6th grade I was a tadddd obsessed with a 7th grader

(an older man- ballsy, I know)

so I got sucked into buying one of those $2 candy grams that they deliver

to classrooms on Valentine's Day and of course, sent one to my little 7th grade crush. 

Well not only did I not receive one back, but he sent one to one of my best friends!

I mean dang. Talk about a Mean Girls moment. 

3. What did you do for Valentine's Day this year:

Grabbed a couple of our favorite brews at Taps

Caught a great movie

and finished off the evening with a few glasses of wine and some delish steaks at Ruth's Chris.  

BOOM. 

4. Best Valentine's idea if you're single:

Girlfriends. Lots of candy. Possibly tequila ? 

5. Favorite Valentine's Candy:

Dove chocolate. Ugggghhhhh I lovvveee.

I have such an unhealthy obsession with chocolate and apparently they're on to me.

6. Favorite Valentine's memory from your childhood:

Not to snag this one from our lovely hostess, Neely, but

honestly my Mom went all out for my brother and I on Valentine's Day.

Breakfast in bed, roses and always tons of sweets. 

I actually blame Mom for my expectation of waking up Valentine's Day

morning with SOME sort of a surprise. Sorry babe!

So kick back, relax, turn on some RHOA and go link up!

Valentine's Day Inspiration

Freakin' January.

Happens every year!
You've got Spring & Summer- which are filled with bikinis, beach days

and margaritas. Then there's the excitement of FALL (favorite season!)

with football, colder temperatures, Halloween.

Winter is pretty much consumed with family and the holidays.

Then. There's January.

January brings a new year, which, don't get me wrong,

YAY

but what other purpose does January serve ?

I'm totally dealing with holiday decor withdrawals, which was the 
main reason behind this post. 

Decorating for Valentine's Day immediately following Christmas??

Ridiculous? No ? 

I'm getting ready to bust out the pinks, reds and hearts 

and get to decorating!

Linkin up with Michelle for Ohhhh how Pinteresting!

I love a good printable!

I wishhhh I had a mantle!
Sigghhh
Until then my little wall shelf about the TV will have to suffice.
This banner is adorable and oh look! Another fun printable!

Again with the mantle!
Rub it in, why don't you, Pinterest.

OKAY. Last mantle pin I swweeaarr.
But, how ADORABLE is the mini wreath on the chevron pattern?!

I love these mini apothecary jars for candy use!

I'm obsessing over this pillow for multiple reasons-
the obvious being how stinkin cute it would be on my couch
for V-Day decor. I'm also on the HUNT for a cute burlap throw pillow!
I love the custom pillows on Etsy but they're all either
A. a wedding date
B. monogram
C. some catchy "married person phrase"
ie. "Happy Wife, Happy Life"
Any ottthherrrr ideas?! 

This centerpiece.
Must. Do.

Alright, lovers, don't forget to link up!

Sweetheart Cupcakes

I think that my mild obsession with Valentine's Day is due to the fact that this is the only time of year its acceptable to deck my kitchen out in pink. But YAYY for pretty sweets!
