you won't catch me at dinner....

some less trad. (and sometimes free!) things to do on valentines....

see a movie here

the tunnel of love

dress up and dance

scare yourself

this is a touch (ok very, and you wont catch me at it, but i like you to know all the possibilities) alternative

be an urban nerd

party for a good cause

play with some beasts

or if all else fails stay at home, build a fort (look at the rockstar diaries for a bit of inspiration) and watch this or this...

p.s if you must go to dinner check out this list

a little more imaginative than flowers....

print - urban outfitters

cushion - urban outfitters

picnic hamper - heals

bag - chip chop!

i'm not really a valentines girl, yeah i like a card, but any big fuss seems forced and makes me squirm! however, my biggest gripe about the whole thing is how generic everything 'valentiney' seems to be, its so boring and impersonal! but i do like a bit of love so i thought i would bring you a 'love' themed selection that is available all year round...perfect for valentines day, an anniversairy, a friend who really like hearts or just something to cheer up your day!

today...

today is wednesday, the middle of the week, i don't find this too troublesome as i dont have to go to school tomorrow, which is always nice.

today i have my last ever insolvency workshop and the sad prospect that i only have 1 more workshop with my lovely class.

today i am wearing my aubin and wills dress, it reminds me of a dress a child would wear and i love that fact. plus it reminds me of a painter's smock, which i also love.

today i am wearing mary janes that really make me want to skip.

today i will see my boy.

today i have promised to make a stew, although we need a casserole pot first.

today i will try not to spend all my money in the coffee shop at school.

today i have already watched law and order:uk and completed my homework...kinda.

today i will endeavor not to fall asleep mid afternoon.

today i will be listening to paloalto, especially this song...

feeling lucky....

last week i got a lovely surprise courtasy of laura at the lovely blog baby, picture this...i'd won my first ever giveaway! how exciting i thought as i claimed my beautiful archie grand notebook...but this was not as lovely as as the fact that the notebook was then carefully wrapped and hand delivered with a little note, it made everything seem so special! it really really made my day, thankyou so much laura!

song of the day, which i haven't been able to shift from my head since i saw him perform on (ahem) xfactor!
