Top Valentine's Style Picks!

Love is in the air! At least that's what I assumed, until I realized that it was actually football fever. In fact, I have come to realize that as long as the quarter finals, semi finals, Pre-Super Bowl speculations, Super Bowl morning shows, Actual Super Bowl telecast, Super Bowl Highlights and post-Super Bowl festivities have all occurred and been sufficiently dissected and relived, I may as well just hold off any mention or hint of Valentine's Day, activities surrounding Valentine's Day, gifts hoped and wished for for Valentines Day and just settle for an advance purchase of a box of yummy chocolates to tide me over. But I am getting ahead of myself…

I've been keeping company (don't you just love that phrase "keeping company"? Brings to mind bouquets of daisies and boxes of candy — so positively Victorian!) Anyhoo, I've been keeping company (read: several dinner dates each week) with a nice young man (read: total hottie) for the past few months and it seems to be getting a bit serious! Serious enough that I am actually looking forward to Valentine's Day this year, in the hopes of getting something fabulous (read: sparkly!) That is, I was until Super Bowl fever hit. (Trust me to fall for a guy who is a serious football fan!) Long story short, my new beau and his band of die-hard football fanatic friends are headed to Indianapolis to experience the Super Bowl live and in person, on the 50 yard line (sans females.) Which leaves little ole' She She with the teeniest dilemma — should I spend the weekend curled up on the sofa, relaxing and catching up on chick flicks, or should I get a head start on shopping for fabulous spring fashions, and quite possibly the perfect little dress for a romantic Valentine's dinner? (He is sooooo going to owe me big time for being such a good sport!) Hmmm, relaxing or shopping…relaxing or shopping? As if!

So here's what the weekend has in store for me:Warm-Weather Fall Fashions: SHOP NOW

Shopping for Valentine's Day

  1. Find perfect Valentine's dress. Think party dress, all flirty and floaty and gorgeous, preferably something that says "dinner at a five star restaurant" not "nachos and bowling". Could be a lovely LBD or perhaps even a shimmery little number, but being a girly girl, I am loving this feminine blush and black frock. I am also thinking that headlights are a bad look in any dress, so I am also on the lookout for the Bali Concealers bra.
  2. Find perfect footwear to go with said Valentine's dress. Definitely skyscrapers. Definitely sexy. Most likely strappy. Quite possibly sparkly. So many choices! Remember, life is too short to wear sensible shoes!
  3. Next, find perfect little evening bag to accompany dress and shoes. Not too big, the ideal size will hold a lipstick, credit card, compact and cell phone. A shoulder strap bag is nice, especially if you are going dancing, but I just adore a gorgeous clutch. It makes me feel like I'm on the red carpet, plus, it gives me something to do with my hands besides pick at my manicure.
  4. Locate new signature fragrance. I'm thinking something fresh and floral, perhaps even a hint of citrus, but definitely nothing too musky. (I remember my junior high crush once told me that he loved the smell of fresh baked cookies; so I dabbed a little of my mom's vanilla extract—yes, from the spice cabinet—behind my ears. I had flies swarming around my head all afternoon. Not quite the effect I was looking for.)
  5. Fabulous necklace (love that I can wear it short or long!) and a pair of delicate earrings for very chic effect.

Shopping for Spring Styles:

Since it is still very cold and damp I am not quite ready for seersucker and eyelet. There are, however, many styles that can be worn now, while the weather is still on the brisk side, as well as later, when the sun comes out to play a bit more.

Gatsby Style. This look is one of my favorite from Spring 2012 Fashion Week! I adore the flirty floaty dresses and wide-legged trousers. This updated take on the flapper dress is perfection indeed — so very Daisy Buchanan!

Anorak Dress. One of spring's hottest looks! Very versatile, especially in iffy weather — can be worn with a chic knit scarf, tights and ankle boots while the weather is still brisk, then switch out with sandals and a floppy hat when the weather warms up!

Cropped trousers. You can wear cropped trousers now with knee high flat boots, an oxford cloth button-down shirt paired with a cozy pullover sweater and topped with a tweedy blazer or short trench coat. Very Ivy League. Carry your girly goodies in a school type satchel! Later this spring, pair your crops with a simple gorgeous blouse and chic platform sandals. Add a sassy satchel and an edgy bracelet to complete the ensemble.

Shades of tangerine — spring's hottest color — so now is a good time to snap up a gorgeous blouse or sleek dress in this hot hue.

Goodness, looks to me like I might have a spot of trouble trying to fit all this shopping into just one weekend. Thank goodness for online sites, no? There is nothing quite as satisfying as snapping up the last pair of Manolo's on sale at 2:00 in the morning! Happy Valentine's shopping girls!

Year of the Dragon Manicure by Pure Ice

Chinese New Year festivities are in full swing, with the culmination on February 6 (Lantern Festival). 2012 marks the 4710th Chinese New Year, and this time it is the Year of Dragon according to the Chinese zodiac calendar.The Dragon is the 5th sign of the Chinese zodiac and it is regarded as an auspicious symbol which stands for power, good luck, success, and happiness.

Since ancient times, the Chinese New Year was considered as the time to honor ancestors and heavenly deities. In addition, it was the time to organize family gatherings and grand feasts.

There is a legend associated with the celebration of New Year in China. There was a monster named Nian who used to harass the villagers by eating their crops, cattle and taking away their kids. The villagers had no other option but to place food at the entrance to their homes so that the monster would eat it and go away without harming them.

One day, the villagers realized that the monster was scared of red color. So, they adorned their doors and windows with red paper cutouts and spring scrolls. The villagers also burst crackers to frighten the monster. Since then, Nian never came again to the village. Hongjun Laozu, a Taoist monk, was the one who captured the beast later on. Since then, the Chinese have been celebrating the capture of Nian on their New Year's Day.

Chinese New Year is celebrated with fireworks, lion dancing, dragon dancing and cultural performances on the street. You can celebrate with Pure Ice Crackle Duo Gold & Red (ShowStopper) and ring in the Year of the Dragon in style.
