Happy Valentine's Day! 

I hope everyone spends the day celebrating love-- whether it's with a significant other, friends, family or a pet. Be sure to tell those around you how much you love them today!

I am couting down the hours until my dinner date tonight. I am excited to make a new V-day recipe (but I can't give out the details just yet)!

Boston Bound

Top: Mossimo  Vest/ Belt: Custom-made by Anya Egoshina Similar Style  Jeans: JOE'S  Boots: Alfani

As I head to Boston today for a long weekend of fun, I decided to pull out my fur vest in preparation of the cold weather up North. I have been looking forward to this trip for weeks, but the cold weather is definitely something I am not prepared for. As cold as it has been here for the past few days, I am still not sure I am ready to battle the cold in Boston.

Sunday Stripes

This past Sunday was the first day our weather was warmer than freezing in about a week. Some friends and I took this opportunity to celebrate by having brunch and getting our nails done. Sometimes you just need a fun girls day. We met for brunch at Arlington Rooftop and then walked down the road to get our nails done. It was a perfect Sunday that ended with mint oreo lattes on the way home.

Six Degrees

Confession: the wind chill was six degrees outside when I took these pictures. Yesterday was SO cold here in DC but I thought I could brave the weather and try and take some outfit photos. My fingers nearly froze but I'm happy to say I did it! Perhaps I will consider wearing my coat in future pictures. 

Do you have any secrets for taking photos in the cold? 

Boots and Buns

With the cold, crummy weather officially here, I have decided I prefer wearing my hair up when the weather gets worse. It really should be the opposite, as my hair keeps me warmer, but I have really fallen in love with wearing my hair up (as seen here and here). I feel like I used to be so creative with my hair and lately it is either all up or all down. 

Do you have a go-to hair style?

Surviving Sandy

I am spending today at home as the entire city seems to be shutting down with the hurricane outside. I hope everyone stays safe and doesn't lose power during this storm!

Day off at the National Aquarium

Yesterday was Columbus Day, and to celebrate, we spent the day at the Baltimore National Aquarium. I have been wanting to visit for years and with the colder weather, yesterday was a perfect day to walk around and look at beautiful fish and other animals all day. We bundled up, got in the car, and drove about an hour to see all this:

This bird loved biting people's feet!

Hope you had a great long weekend!
