loving...

Ahh, February, the month of loving all things. One of my daily reads is a blog of a dear friend, fificheek. She has recently started a composite of all things she loves. This, I must say, inspired me to dig and discover a few things I love. Its always healthy to admire and desire new things, Lagerfield once said, "items to be vintage are ok, but people not so much," and I couldnt agree more. Once you quit dreaming and aspiring for more, then well you have just quit. Within my search I found three things, at this particular moment that I am truely in love with....

 since early October I have wanted a watch, but to me I could never quite find the one I was looking for, but guess what people, I have found a true love. The Kingsington by Nixon, in seafoam. Its finished with a chromocoat finish, meaning it has a top layer of paint that will chip creating an antiqued look, the more you wear it the more it becomes you! Oh how I love it, and its in my price range!!

next, a framed world map. Another item I have wanted for quite awhile. The map isnt hard to find, its the funky laced wood stained frame in bright purple that has been another story. I love this map, is it the one I will settle for, maybe. I think it will be debonair hung low on the wall behind my sewing machine in the guest room.

lastly, sweet decadent cupcakes. I have a small obsession with cupcakes, and although a little tidious to make, delicate and delicious to serve and eat. I thought for Valentines what better treat then lovely cupcakes, and nobody does cupcakes more chic than Giada on Everyday Italian,
