We all know that I love being obnoxious on holidays, but the best part of Valentine's Day 2010 is that it fell right in the middle of NYFW. I showed up to Spice Market looking like a walking valentine. Regardless, the outfit got a lot of smiles and we had a great time. It was so nice to catch up with some of my favorite blogger ladies (Erin of Cali Vintage, Rebecca of The Clothes Horse, Kelly of The Glamourai) and the amazing gals behind Modcloth and Chictopia. Our personal table was a lot of fun, with Krystal of What Is Reality Anyway?, Kelly, Carolina Engman of Fashion Squad, Mattias (cofounder of Bloglovin) and Turi of Modcloth. Wow, that was a lot of links. Anyway, we had a delicious and leisurely lunch, stuffed ourselves silly and then went on our way.
Basically, my Valentine's day was filled with a ridiculous amount of food. I ate a huge lunch and a comparably gluttonous dinner and finished it off with cheesecake. It's important not to forget what holidays are really all about: eating treats without feeling quite as guilty about it.

Hello love. This outfit is quite lovely. I was thinking about purchasing those Seychelles shoes you have on and was wondering how they run. I have been getting mixed reviews on how they run. I'm a 6.5/7 and people are either saying they run really small or they are true to size. Please let me know. Cheers!
ReplyDeletethis is the best valentine's look ever!! too darling!
ReplyDeleteIt was so good to finally get to meet you in person! I had almost forgotten it was Valentine's Day until I saw your festive (and adorable) outfit! :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing outfit!! I have to design a dress for class today with a collar and sleeve. I really like the collar and sleeves on your dress so might do something similiar...thanks for the inspiration. I was stuck!
