Closet Dreams - Simple pieces in BRIGHT colors

I am loving winter however those dreams of adding to my spring wardrobe are starting! I am inspired these days by adding a bright coloured piece to a simple outfit.  
Think white or black with green, bright red or cobalt blue (drool!)
See my inspirations below..






I'm thinking a cobalt blue blazer.....

Day of Love

Yes yesterday was Valentines Day aka. Lovers Day as I like to call it.  Kevin and I however do not celebrate Lovers Day on the 14th we celebrate it on the 13th as that is the day that he proposed to me (last year).  I quite like this new tradition of spending February 13th just the two of us at home (much like other nights just with a little extra effort put into telling each other how special the other one is and putting on a little extra makeup :) ) I love an excuse to dress up!


I spent the day in the kitchen making these delicious Black Forest Cupcakes - they were a lot of work as there are many steps however they were worth every second!  I sent them to work with Kev for the boys the next day so I didn't have to eat them for the next week

How did everyone else celebrate Lovers Day? I would love to hear about it!

Words of Wisdom - Week 5

Oh boy another week has passed and I have been slacking on the bog posts.  I will try to be better this week


Might as well start the week off right with a a quote/photo about love.  One year ago today the man of my dreams got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to get to spend my life with my best friend and my true love.  Today I have the day off from work so I am making us a wonderful dinner and dessert to celebrate our day of LOVE! 




Love to you all! xo
