The hubs and I do Valentine’s…our way. This usually means something very low-key – remember the IKEA date? Or the stay-at-home foodie fest? Well, this year we decided at the very last minute to drive down to the Florida Keys and just bum around, enjoying the pure beauty of one of our favorite places. And what a perfect day! It was bright, sunny and chilly (we don’t get that trio often), and we were in heaven.
I’ve also finally gotten over my fear of colored denim and have jumped straight to blinding love. I was totally inspired by this Polyvore collage to pair animal print with my new absolutely favorite green pants – and who knew: it worked! I’ll slowly become braver and attempt color blocking in the future, but baby steps for now! I especially loved that I matched with all the local decor. 😉

Adorbs, Miss Meli!! I bought my first pair of purple cords recently, which is as close as I’ve gotten to the colored denim, and they’re seriously fantastic.
I’ve tried a couple pair of greens as well – I’ll probably get there eventually. 😉
I love your style of dates. <3

Thanks Linds! Make sure to ask Augi to tell you the story behind those pictures – it’s hilarious.

I kind of want them in every color (but they are such a headache to style – it literally takes me hours to pair them with something).
I love a good low-key date 😉
ps; I miss your face.
