Why wait for Valentine's Day?  I would rock this heartalicious nail art all year long...

COMME des GARÇONS manicure amazingness...

Oh my gosh... I think I've just found my all-time favorite manicure tutorial, c/o thebeautydepartment.com

This is like the cherry on top of a Rei Kawakubo sundae dream surprise.
Or maybe the icing on a COMME des GARÇONS cupcake.
Or the sparkle on a glitter on the dewdrop on a unicorn eyelash.

Yes, I'm excited.  ♥

I ♥ SUMMER!

I like hearts.  Have you noticed?  

I'm so excited to wear this Heart Throb suit from J Crew this Summer!  The clever side smocking is PERFECT for post-baby body shaping.  Actually, I don't hate my post-baby body... this is the first time in my life that I don't feel like a 2x4 plank, and it's kind of fun!  I've discovered what it's like to actually wear a vintage dress the way they were meant to be worn...  with curves!   ♥

d.i.y-not? Show your jeans some love...

It's almost VALENTINE'S DAY! How excited are you?! It's my all time most super very favorite day of the year. Nothing could be better than a day full of love, kisses, presents, and dressing up. Do you celebrate V-day by wearing your heart on your sleeve? How about an update on that old adage... Check out this quick and fun project we did:

With Evy's assistance, this took about ten minutes (minus drying time).

1. Try on your jeans and put a little mark right at the center of each knee.

2. Draw half of a heart on a sheet of sticky stuff. We used duct tape, but contact paper would work fine too.

3. Fold in half and cut out from the center, so your heart is uniform on both sides.

4. Peel off back and stick to jeans. Place sticky heart cut-out directly over your knee markings.

5. Fill in your hearts with red fabric paint. Sponge or brush works well.

6. Let dry.

7. Peel off and admire your handy work! :)
