Love in the sun

Valentine's Day is just around the corner! What a fun holiday, right? An excuse to dress totally girly, wear heart-shaped sunglasses, eat too much chocolate and receive flowers on a random weekday. I love it. Brett and I headed out on this lazy Sunday to take a drive past the beach. The sunlight was perfect tonight. How is this winter? Plus, sunset was at 6:11 PM. Spring is just around the corner!

We started packing up some of our things today. It feels crazy! I was flinging my spring and summer clothes out of my closet and realized this dress matched my sunnies perfectly! I absolutely love this dress. It has a gorgeous open back and was named after one of my favorite bloggers and really good friend, Elizabeth of Delightfully Tacky! You can see how I remixed it here on an ice-cream date with Brett.

Brett ordered me this amazing heart ring. I love it. Since I don't typically wear my engagement ring, this went perfect with my wedding band. It's so funny too because I was putting together a Delightful Dozen '12 delightful things' post and saw Illy posted the exact same one!

Did you guys have a good weekend? Our band played a show (you can see a video here!). On Saturday, Brett and I went to see The Vow. Oh gosh, so good. I had tears the entire movie. Then today, we started packing and ordered Chinese food in! A relaxing, low-key weekend before the chaos hits next week... ahem, we start moving! Eee!

Outfit details:
Delightfully Tacky dress c/o ModCloth
Mustard cardigan c/o AGAR
Target tights
ModCloth Look of Love sunglasses
Forever 21 heart necklace
Seychelles Hawk Wedges

Love this, Tieka! Wasn't it gorgeous today?? I really want to go see The Vow, but I am always so embarrassed when I cry in movie theaters so I might have to wait ... just to save my pride. Looks SO good though!

I want your weather too, not some moody pmsing weather that brings floods and scorching heat moments after each other.

oh darling, those shoes!--and that ring! I'm in love with this love-inspired outfit! I really never ever think to get jewelry, let alone rings. I might need to look into getting a personalized something or other.

Such an adorable outfit! You look ready for the spring season. I love the heels - so cute! It's so refreshing to see sunny photos, since it's been raining non-stop here in my corner of the country. Hope you and Brett enjoy your Valentine's Day!

Now I want to run out and get heat shaped sunnies. I never even thought about wearing then on V-day. Genius!
I want to see the vow but no one will go with me. I guess I can go alone or rent it. If it's going to make me cry I'll rent it.
