No fancy dress for going out to dinner, no sequined clutch nor super high heels. No dinner date to look forward to, no gifts in small velvet boxes to be received.
But maybe 2012 will be my year. Maybe next Valentines Day I'll have something to blog about.
Here is hoping.
The Rundown
Red Pencil Skirt Express Similar - Blouse Tucker for Target - Booties Madden Girl Virtual - Clutch Zara - Bracelets The Cavernous Jewelry Box, Coco's, Macy's Similar - Antler Ring House of Harlow - Ring TJ Maxx - Necklace & Belt Banana Republic - Nail Color Essie Super Bossa Nova
To prove to you that I can still be good natured about v-day, I made these absurdly adorable peanut butter blossoms, doused in red food dye, complete with truffle hearts and hugs.
Don't worry we might not have all the "Valentine" stuff but we have style:)

Awwww Lydia, you're so sweet. You look great and I love this work outfit.
ReplyDeleteThat clutch is AH-MAY-ZINGGGGG and I love love love that chunky chain link bracelet. Killer!
I think you look beautiful. Why didn't you tell me that you didn't have a valentine. I would have sent you a little something to make your day sweet.
ReplyDeleteIn the mean time, can you please send me one of those peanut butter cookies? I am drooling over here!
Well guess what??? You are fabulous and so are your cookies ;). Happy V-day Lydia!

Eh, V Day is overrated and an exaggerated consumer driven "holiday" anyway. I don't get into it. I do enjoy your pink and red look!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful. Happy Valentine's Day to you. :)

Cute cookies! They look yummy!
ReplyDeleteHallmark holidays are overrated, in my opinion. Looking fabulous never is :) oxox

I adore the outfit - it's the perfect amount of red and pink. And those cookies.....yummmmmmm
ReplyDeleteWe actually don't really celebrate Valentine's so I am really looking forward to a lady's date the gym tonight and then some TV viewing...no heels and fancy dinners for this gal either!
ReplyDeleteCourtney ~ http://sartorialsidelines.com
Do people actually do any of that stuff? This year I went out for a nice dinner with 3 girlfriends for Valentine's Day - it's typically more fun that way :)
ReplyDeleteCute cookies! I never thought to add food coloring, but wow, such a fun idea!
Really pretty blouse and lovethe pink belt!
ReplyDeleteThe doll on fashion
Your day sounds pretty much like mine - i certainly hope that next year is a LOT better.
ReplyDeleteI love this color combo and I totally want your hair.
I have never celebrated V day Lyddie - always single or dating someone allergic to Valentine's :) So no sequins for me tonight either. I will be in dirty jeans painting cupboards!
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look AMAZING. Love the clutch. I think the v-day outfit is really sweet. I'm sure the next year will make sure you are lucky in love.
ReplyDeletewell you look amazing. I have my fingers crossed that next year this time we will be hearing all about you and your new boy :)
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look awesome!
ReplyDeleteDang, those cookies look good! Love your red and pink outfit combo :)
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm not doing anything interesting or romantic on Valentine's Day, either!
Umm.... you are GORGEOUS! And those cookies look delicious :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines!

You look beautiful! I love those booties, and that church in the BG of your first photo is such a great place to take phots of your outfit! What a fabulous eye you have...
ReplyDeletehttp://theefface.blogspot.com
Total cutie. I'm especially fond of the mustard clutch--makes the floral print really pop! (PS...I'm totally wearing the dress version of your shirt today!)
ReplyDeleteFound you through EBEW--stop by and say hi if you have a second. Always love meeting new people. Happy Valentines to you, chickadee.

Those cookies are getting Pinned right now. So I really did intend to do EBEW this time, and I'm even wearing pink and red today, but... my broken lens would not cooperate. I love this blouse with red and yellow! It's different than the many ways I've seen it styled before.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about V day. It's a lot of hype I feel. And when you look this good there's nothing to fret about at all!
ReplyDeletehappy valentine's day! don't fret, you still can love yourself and that's just as good!
ReplyDeletePssshh, v-day is overrated. And at least you made amazing cookies AND dressed up super cute for it! That's far more blog worthy than anything I'm up to today. :)

Love the color blocking in this outfit. I just got a new red dress, and I've been toying with the idea of mixing it with pink, so I love having something to look at!
ReplyDeleteKatie- Hems For Her
the cookies look and sound delicious. Romance often hits us when we least expect it.
ReplyDeleteAww you look so very beautiful:) I love the whole outfit and your skirt is so stunning. Muah, darling
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness your V-Day cookies are adorable! And so is your outfit- very festive, who needs a velvet box when you are so stylin'!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies are delightfully perfect! I love how you arranged them on the cake platter, too.
ReplyDeleteHope your work day was fun, even if it wasn't full of super-high-heels and fancy dinner dates!
You look fantastic!! Happy Valentines Day!
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely and perfectly festive. If it makes you feel better, we went out for a quick dinner, then returned home to put on pjs and watch TV. We're an exciting couple.
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!!! You look amazing!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
