thought on tuesday:
tonight we are going out to dinner then to scavenge a second hand store to see what treasures we can find. we have driven past it a few times and it looks so cute from the window fronts, but we have not yet ventured in. my heart is set on a coffee table for our living room so i am definitely hoping to find that – we will see. i’m not sure where we are going to dinner but i do hope we get to have a creme brulee’ for dessert {i have been craving one for the past bit}. we’ll probably turn in early for a quiet night at home. possibly a movie or something low-key, but thats how i like it. what are your valentines plans? 
happy valentines everyone!

{jewelry}
i myself don’t care to much for traditional valentine’s day jewelry but something sweet and understated sits just perfect in my book.

{out for breakfast}
breakfast is my favorite meal to eat out especially if it includes a cup of hot coco

{capture the memory}
capture the moments of your life with this polaroid camera for that special v-day gift
{sara’s pick- polaroid 1000}
{date night}
i know dinner and a movie is the typical valentine’s date night out but sometimes it can be the perfect treat for two and it’s budget friendly!

what better way to say happy valentines than with that must have item they have been wishing for

how do you feel about buns a top your head? i for one, love them! i can be having a completely bad hair day and pull it together by throwing all my hair into a bun. i usually go for a messier style but occasionally i do a sleeker more polished look when i’m going somewhere i need to look a bit more fancy. i even sleep with my hair like this to keep it from tangling and rubbing all over my face. buns are in a word chicly amazing {ok, two words} so try one out, i promise you’ll be in a sprightly way all day.   

have a great bun picture? then don’t forget to link up to this post!
