These are the types of pressing issues that I concern myself over.
I had an awesome Valentine's Day yesterday, reading over some hilariously corny jokes from my giveaway submissions and coming home to flowers and chocolate-covered strawberries from Boyfriend. He's a keeper!
As part of my gift to Boyfriend, I made one of his favorites: lettuce wraps.

These are a modified version of this turkey lettuce wrap recipe from Steamy Kitchen. I substituted apples with water chestnuts and made 3x the amount of sauce. I highly recommend it!

Thanks again to the commenter who recommended this half-slip from Anthropologie! I completely forgot what it was called, but it is perfect for adding some much-needed length to my way-too-short-seriously-who-can-wear-this items from Modcloth and F21.
I wanted to brag about all the sweet treats I got from my Valentine's Day swap partner (organized by Tippy) and from Lisa, but apparently I forgot to upload the photos onto Photobucket last night. This is my expression right now:

ReplyDeleteAwww ^^ That's muy sweet. I got some fantastic v-day treats to satisfy my sweet tooth too, nom! Best v day ever!
ReplyDeleteOmg! Lol, do you know that I never used to want anyone going through my ipod list because I had an insanely ridiculous number of disney songs. I have been obsessed with "Be Prepared" for as long as I can remember, and still am...lol..ok onto your OOTD. Love it! Looks fabulous on you! I may also try the lettuce wrap you made. Looks delicious! :)
ReplyDelete<3 this. And you are totally right about the Disney Songs. Evil anthems get me pumped!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit! I am so loving stripes lately, anything striped!! You look really pretty.
ReplyDeleteGah! Those shoes are so wonderful! I love (almost) anything sparkly and those are bombtastic! :) Your ring is also really pretty.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about adding a half slip to a dress if it was too short, but that's a great idea! My aunt also likes to add lace to the end of her dresses if they turn out to be too short, and they look great as well.
I am going to have to try those lettuce wraps. They look so yummy!

You look so cute! And my favorite villain song is "Friends on the Other Side". :D
ReplyDeleteI agree, Disney villians have great songs! I am loving your stripes, and so happy you had a great Valentine's Day :)
