song of the day: by fleetwood mac
so i hope you all are in your comfy chairs because i gots a lot of photos to share!
i found this dress on etsy and immediately fell in love with it. it was maybe a touch more than i wanted to spend on such a dress, but as soon as it came in the mail, i realized it was worth the price. it fits perfectly and is very comfortable. and the peter pan collar??? seriously, the cutest.
earlier in the day i took outdoor photos. then i went to pick up my son from school and by the time i got around to loading the pictures on the computer, finding i hated them, i was too worn out to lug the camera and tripod out again. instead, i decided to take them in my room. i actually really love how they came out.
our valentine's was so much fun. i hid away little notes for matt so he'd get them throughout the day. i decorated the fridge with construction paper hearts and sweet sayings. put fresh sheets on the bed ;) and made sure the kiddo went to bed early.
i saw these adorable beer glasses on etsy a few weeks back and knew i had to buy them. matt is currently sporting a stache so these were only fitting. and i poured him a glass of beer when he got home from work.
i have a thing for eating with my hands. there's just something about it, ya know? so for dinner, i put together a cheese spread. we had baked brie, gouda, and asiago with a baguette, fruit, almonds, olives, and dark chocolate. and of course, champagne. we sat around the coffee table and lounged on pillows while we ate. it was such a relaxing time to talk and enjoy a slow and easy meal together.
and to top off the evening, there were some pretty things from the loved one. ;)

Your Valentines stuff is so damn cute! And I love the indoor photos; they look perfect with that adorable new dress!
i've been wanting something from the loved one, just haven't had the chance to splurge on it yet. and that dress - SO cute. it reminds me of the one that is very similar from zara that was making it's way around the blogosphere in the fall. truth be told, i like yours better.
You in that dress + the dresser and suitcase remind me of an anthropologie ad, ya know? Everything works!
And it looks like you guys had a perfecto Valentine's day! :)
sooo cute, what a great find!!
I love the indoor pictures, and your dress is so nice! This is definitely my favourite post of yours to date, I just love it!

That dress is perfect! I've been wishing for a dress just like that, but haven't found one yet.
I saw that lingerie on Calivintage and thought about buying it, but I'm so afraid of buying stuff like that without seeing it first. Were you happy with it?
what a wonderful dress and these photos are quite lovely indeed. I'm sorry your other ones didn't turn out the way you had hoped at all though. Looks like such a creative and lovely Valentine's Day!!!! yey! love the lingerie too! I have a weakness for nice underwear because I own a lot!
love your dress. I need it! x

sounds like you had an amazing valentine's day!! i also love eating with my hands--your spread actually made me really crave cheesy fondue! might have to make some...
ps that dress is absolute perfection.
Sounds like you guys had such a super-sweet Valentine's Day :)
I absolutely love this dress too, especially with those navy tights. Short dresses with long sleeves always make me feel like an ice skater, and the effect is even better with that adorable collar. Sometimes an etsy splurge can really pay off!

I want your house and I want to be your valentine. Too much?
wow! that dress really is the cutest! and i got a TLO piece too! "the bed and how to make it" was my choice.
Oh my god, are these outfit pictures or are you secretly a model and you scanned these from a magazine?
I don't know what vibe I'm getting here... almost anthropology(ie?)
I donno but it all fits so well together.
And this dress IS pretty damn amazing. you are too freaking cute. This really makes me want to go dress hunting in thrift stores ASAP.
Oh man. a couple more days.
great post. love that you showed us pics of your underthings! You are the greatest Amanda!
I found your blog via The Upside of Wonder, and I'm so glad I did! That dress is adorable!!!
