H&M blazer, dress & jeans, Bamboo boots, Mexx necklace & Bay bangle
The lobby of the hotel we stayed at during our weekend away was so beautiful I asked my mom to snap these shots so I could take advantage. We stopped at H&M on our way into town and despite packing my 'party' outfit, I ended up rocking an entirely new outfit instead. Enter my new H&M finds. Jeans. Dress (worn as a top). Blazer. Yipee!
Today is the day my match-making efforts come into play. I have set up a good friend of mine with someone I work with. I'm pretty excited they are going out this evening, totally cute. Who knows what will stem from this, but either way, a fun night for both I'm sure. I personally have never been set up, have you?
Lastly, I know someone anonymously asked me what these boots looked like IRL on my Christmas Goodies post. While I've worn them quite a bit, I never snapped any shots of them (oops!). Next time maybe I'll just twit-pic the request. Do you follow me on Twitter?

My great friend Shannon brought my attention to this hilarious comic strip to my attention. Hope it brightens your day as it has mine.

Happy Valentines' Day! I am always excited to use any holiday to dress up as an excuse and Valentines' Day is no exception. I love the idea of pinks and reds and going either sexy or sweet, however, more often than not as the day arrives I cannot for the life of me put together an outfit I'm satisfied with. And what do I end up with? An entire black outfit with a sole red belt. WTF? I couldn't get more creative than this?! Ugh. I initially started out wearing these pants with this outfit but wasn't feeling it at all. Ultimately, time was running short so I swapped in my new H&M pants from my weekend away and called it an outfit.
Sidenote: totally rockin' the red lip (resolution alert!), I mean, what better excuse than Valentines' Day, right? Well, not so great for kissing, but whatevs... regardless, it's so-so and husband agreed he prefers no lipstick.
Husband calls the middle shot, 'The waxer' - yeah, you can probably
get an idea of what he's talking about - totally classy, just like my pose.
I love pancakes but after reading that they are the 'black hole of breakfast food' once in a magazine, I was slightly turned off. Not that I can't indulge every now and again (I have been known to indulge far too often to begin with!) but that phrase (sadly) really stuck with me.
I found a healthier way to make pancakes and have been pretty obsessed with them ever since. I tweaked the recipe which also called for some sugar and salt, by completely removing them, and it's fine (and healthier). Whenever I have fresh fruit, I love to throw that in too.
Happy weekend!
You will need:
1 Cup Whole wheat flour
1 Cup Milk
1 Egg
1 tbsp. Baking Powder
Strawberries (as many as you'd like, I used half a pint)
How to:
1. Mix the first four ingredients
2. Once blended, add the strawberries
3. Heat frying pan and throw in some butter so the 'cakes won't stick
4. Pour pancake mix into pan (I like making 3 at a time)
5. Flip when the bottom is browned or the top starts to bubble a bit
6. When both sides are browned, they are ready
7. Serve with real maple syrup
