Every Day is Valentine's Day

When I wore this outfit to work yesterday, someone kindly pointed out that Valentine's Day was last week. 

I kindly replied that EVERY day is Valentine's Day for me.

The red blouse was one of my favorite thrifts from Saturday. Frumpy fun-patterned grandma button-up shirts are one of my favorite things to find because even though they might have been worn by granny vacationing in a tropical retirement community, they are instantly stylish when tucked into a skirt. 

Right?

In other news, I am planning to buy something that will make taking these blogging self-portraits much easier; do any of you lovely ladies have camera remote reccomendations?

Peace out and have a lovely Thursday.

Not Quite Wine Country

On Sunday, as a pre-Valentines Day date, Ian and I ventured out to the Mount Nittany Winery for a Wine and Chocolate Pairing event. Only $3 a person to sample six different kinds of wine that were each matched with a different kind of truffle. Could you think of anything more divine?

I tried mostly white wines, with the exception of a blueberry and a raspberry dessert wine, which were both paired with a white chocolate Nittany lion. Yummmmmmmmmmm.

I'm by a no means a wine connoisseur (Hints of vanilla? Full bodied? Smooth finish?) but all I knew was that I had Ian, yummy wine, and lots of chocolate in one room...that was all I needed.

And then....we found an abandoned church!

With a bathroom...?

It was a fantastic Sunday. I thought we weren't going to be able to spend Valentine's Day together, due to our crappy opposite schedules, but because Ian is the bees knees, he surprised me with an evening of Casablanca and French 75's at the Tavern.

I think I'll keep him. :-)
