{perfection}

While I have Kate Spade on my mind...

why not take a look at this lovely room from her home.

I am in love with this space.

The wall color is so perfect with the chunky white molding around the doorway; the photo gallery, even the red and white striped chair is just darling.

(if you know me, I am not a fan of red, but it totally is just what this space needs for it to "pop"!!!)

I have stumbled upon this beautiful set of china designed by Kate Spade for Lenox.

Needless to say, I have become quite taken by them.
The platinum polka dots screaming my name!

I can imagine how great these would make a table look for a special occasion, or the not so special occasion, when you want your take-out to feel much more glam.

{loving love}

Valentine's Day was bittersweet this year.

Matt being away for school meant not being together this year, which has been hard, but also very good for both of us in a lot of ways. One thing is for sure, distance surely does makes the heart grow fonder. I can't imagine loving someone more than I love Matt, and what a lovely feeling that is to have. Valentine's Day has always been one of my favorite days; even when I was single, it is just such a beautiful, romantic holiday that reminds you how important it is to have love in your life. I spent my Valentines with two of my favorite people in this world; my amazing mother and my beautiful best friend Sydney. We spent the day shopping, getting wedding ideas, and them watching me try on gorgeous wedding dresses. Love is so much more than having a boyfriend, fiance, or husband; it is having people in your life that make your life worth living. I am so grateful that I have been blessed with such wonderful friends family, and an adoring fiance! What a lucky in love girl I am!

Wishing everyone a beautiful, hopelessly romantic week. xo

{who says...}

a beautifully wrapped package can't be just as amazing as what is inside???

{currently enjoying}

Tonight I am enjoying

a quiet night at home, complete with a warm blanket,

wonderful candles, a cup of hot chocolate, and a good book.

Chilly winter nights do have their advantages...sometimes.
