My Valentine's Day, in photos...

I know I've shared this, but I adore Valentine's Day. I think, if I didn't use the USPS so much, it should be a postal holiday...not one for which people go "postal," rather one where it's so grand, even post offices are closed. Okay, maybe not. But still, it was as fabulous a day as I had hoped.

I spent the morning baking cupcakes...

In case you missed one of my January posts, the cupcake papers & further down, the toppers, were from Bake It Pretty, my fave baking supplies site. Then later in the day, drove around like a mad woman trying to get kids to kid places, and adult to adult places. Stops included, but were not limited to Costco, sports, schools, drug stores, supermarkets (ran out of icing...and cold cuts, but not sardines thank goodness!), gas stations, the post office (thankfully it was open, with no thanks to my previous hopes of a Postal Holiday), Neiman Marcus Cafe (would I be a lady who lunches without lunch w/ the ladies?), a return at Nordstrom (see Tory Burch below).... etc. I felt I almost never left the car except for brief interludes at above places....until we arrived at my very favorite restaurant, Nobu, for our Valentine's Day celebration planned exclusively by hubby. Traffic was a beast, but did yield to a remarkable 7 course tasting menu full of sushi, but also some beautiful gifts....

For those of you who don't know, I'm a humongous fan of Kacey K. jewelry. Her monograms are just amazing, and really second to NONE. These babies were on my wishlist, and I am so grateful to be wearing them. I realize that they were not intended to be worn together, but I love em both and cannot choose one of them, so I'm lookin' a bit of a fool wearing not one, but TWO monograms. I think Lily Pullitzer has some sort of rule about this. Luckily, I don't care, and I won't ask. This next photo includes the top to new PJ's, also received for Valentine's Day (Cosabella). LOVE them.

I am so grateful, and thankful to have hubby after all these years...and grateful he still makes a big deal out of one of my favorite holidays. It doesn't seem like almost two decades, but alas, I've been married for almost as long as I was alive before. Wow. I. Was. Young.

And there were more cupcakes..... some for friends, some for family. All for fun! And I realize not much about weight today, except for the fact that I did have the Nobu dessert. First dessert in like literally six months. Wait, more. I think my last dessert was July. It was WORTH IT...and even though it wasn't really sweet, it did not disappoint. Something about riccotta, shaved ice and fruit. Delicious. Now back to straight and narrow. Time to work out, LOL! Just as a side note, I had a most excellent run yesterday, in that beautiful hot weather...downright balmy. It was a total joy, and I ran in just one nike layer instead of like five. Joy. 3 miles, wish I could have gone 10, but the best physical therapist in the entire world said 3. I listened. This time.

I will leave you with my new friend, my Tory Burch sunglasses. Happy Valentine's Day to ME. I had a gift card, now I don't. That's the story and I'm stickin' to it.

I realize my shoes were in focus, and not my glasses, and I think that is the reason I decided to use the photo. It's funny. Damn blackberry camera. By the way, those nike sneakers kick ass.

Have a glorious day everyone. Please tell me about YOUR Valentine's Day. I know at least one of you got a bit of Kacey Love. xoxo

LOVE the TB Sunglasses! exquisite, can't wait to see them on you

The cupcakes looked delicious, and I'm sure wowed everyone

Unfortunately our ST V Day was spent laying to rest a dear member of my wife's family. Put a bit of a damper on our day, BUT my wife loved her new KaceyK.

Her jewelry is dainty, and will not overwhelm, but her attention to detail, craftsmanship and use of excellent material make it special. Her initial choker seems to float and sparkle and is perfect in that she can wear it anywhere, anytime. On top of that Kacey herself helped me with the design. Custom made and hands on service, KaceyK isn't a bargain, but if you want a high end custom made item, I would strongly recommend her.

I agree Scott. I think every piece is a true winner. Post some facebook pix of Laura w/ necklace on your FB. I would love to see more! :) What an awesome day, ay?
