A simple dinner at home for two was how we spent our Valentine's. Perfect for me. I hate going out to a restaurant on "romantic" holidays with a set menu that's jacked up its prices for the evening. The husb made a scrumptious dinner and surprised me with cupcakes from our go-to cupcake shop, Gigi's. The abundance of sugar in these desserts is out of this world.

Next, I received my Harper's Bazaar in the mail on Tuesday and am pretty much done. This is my favorite fashion magazine hands down. I know that Vogue is the bible in fashion and InStyle is probably most popular, because it's more mainstream, but Bazaar? It hits all the right spots for me. I wasn't sure what the new look was going to be when they announced a redesigned package would be coming out. It is sooooo fabulous! The set-up of the articles is fantastic...loving how all the sections are differentiated throughout the magazine. The Style and The Extras are definitely favorites as they focus on current trends. The List is a fun read featuring Tom Ford this month. Did anyone else read this yet???

| The husb said I looked cute when he came out to say hello getting home from work yesterday and snapped a quick pic. |
He takes four, yep four, hot baths a day. Who has time for this??? Maybe a housewife. And I mean a real housewife; someone who stays home all day with no work or children duties. But the owner and creative force behind a multi-million dollar business?? Seems absurd. Anyway, love the guy and hope I can see the husb in one of his suits someday.

Next, I wanted to give a shout out to Danielle Moss for redesigning my blog. I wanted a clean, modern, chic look with some bright colors thrown in for fun and she achieved just that for me. When brainstorming on what I wanted I just made a list of my favorites brands and designers and found what all had in common: color. Diane von Furstenburg, Missoni, Alice + Olivia, Matthew Williamson, Kate Spade, J. Crew - all of them loads of color. I like black, white, and gray, but other than that I'm not much of a neutral person. Beige is blah to me. Thanks to Danielle for achieving a bright, fun, and modern makeover for Shemmy Shemmy Shake Shake!
Danielle's blog, Breakfast At Toast, is one I check regularly as we generally have common interests in style, travel, and fashion. I suggest you check it out too.

Lastly, I think Beagles are one of the cutest breeds of dogs and the husb sent me this picture yesterday at work knowing it would bring a smile to my face. Look at all those little cuties lined up at Westminster. :)
I would really like this to be our next dog purchase.
