Successful Saturday

It was a blur of red everywhere I went this Saturday.

I'm not the biggest fan of Valentine's Day, but any holiday that embraces love, chocolate, and flowers can't be that bad.

Time Out New York will help you plan your special night.



While walking down the Valentines isle at CVS I couldn't help but get lost in the memory of Valentines past.



I almost didn't do it. But, totally in love with this OPI green nail polish - Don't Mess With OPI.

How to Throw a Proper Pity Party

I love this.

______________________________________________________



Provisions:

1. Alcohol. Whatever floats your boat.
2. Lounging gear. Opt for cozy knits and a warm water bottle to hug.
3. Food. Sometimes only ice cream will do the trick.
4. Music, Movies & Journaling. I’ve watched Casablanca since high school and it still does the trick. I also posted my weepiest tunes on 8tracks and Spotify. Totally subjective and personal, but yeah, Radiohead makes me bawl.

You only get a day of pity, why not make the most of it;)

Successful Saturday

How is it possible the weather is so gorgeous? And how is it possible January is almost over?

This Versailles Domed Burlap chair from Restoration Hardware is cozy and perfect.



It arrived! I ordered this decal for my bathtub. Loves.



Every time I wander, I end up on Canal Street.



Cheers to another start of the week!
