will you be my valentine?

I had a lot of lurve to share today.

First and foremost, with my family, without whom I wouldn't be able to survive. I love you guys!

Secondly my friends, the worst, the best, and those with whom I have a shaky relationship with...they have all been my friends at some point, and so I love them too.

Third, to all my readers! I lurve you all dearly! Thanks for being so kind and supporting my blog till now.

A month ago, I went to the library and checked out a book called Blushing, and it is so cute! It is basically a compilation of love notes and poems and reading through them makes you...well...blush :)

Here is my favorite from the whole book, it is a love letter:

"Francis Darling,
Have you heard that I love you? I'm not sure that I made it clear to you, and I don't want any misunderstanding. It's such a young love yet -- just nine and a half months old, born November13th 1928 at about nine o'clock in the evening. [...] But tell me something before I leave. I was told tonight on what seemed to me the best authority that you are fond of me. Con you confirm this rumor.
Then there's another problem. As long as I'm thinking about you, I can't go to sleep; and I'd rather think about you than go to sleep; how am I to sleep?
[...] Good night. I've just sent St. Joseph off to watch you on the train; he has promised that he will do his duty like an honest saint.
I do love you.
Ogden"

Happy Valentine's Day!

So tell me what you did for V-Day!
I would love to hear all your stories :)

what 58 degree weather can do to a girl

I was feeling a bit under the weather, but I still went outside to bike around with some of my little friends. The weather was amazing :) I felt so happy being outside. That was when I realized how much I hated the winter. I know that winter fashion is really cool, especially because of the tights, coats, gloves, scarves, socks, grays, blacks, and all the other wonderful things...but it still doesn't make me happy.
Tights are fun to wear but it is a pain taking them on and off for gym, and because of that pain, I risk being late to classes, another pain.We never get enough time to change, and I already make it dangerously close to the late bell when I am going to chemistry from gym, when I am not wearing tights. I sort of have a reputation for not being tardy, EVER, and I want to keep it up, so the only day I can happily wear tights is Tuesday, lab day, when I don't have gym.
But then the frigid, bone chilling cold hit, and I couldn't leave the house without wearing like 50 pairs of pants...gah.
Then my gloves got holes in them, because my fingers are freakishly long. And then my jacket's hood kept falling off.
And my ears got cold.
And my fingers.
And my toes.

So, bottom line is, I hate the cold. Everything about it.

But then again, the stylish people that are featured on The Sartorialist and Facehunter and Style Slicker make me want to reconsider.

Yet, I can't wait to hear the birds tweeting in the morning on my way to the bus stop.

I am also super excited about the fresh, sweet smell of new grass,

dancing in the rain,

wearing flouncy skirts (with tights on cool days, sans on warm ones),



looking for bunnies in my backyard,
playing in the fog with my best of friends,

having picnics,


and spring break!

I am watching the Grammys as I write this, and Chris Martin's (Coldplay) shirt was WAY too short. But I still love him. Who doesn't?

Anyways, I cannot wait till the spring/summer :)
