Obsessions Valetines Style

Happy Valentine's Day!! The hubs and I are usually pretty low key on Valentine's Day. We like to cook a fabulous meal at home instead of going out. This year marks our 11year dating anniversary. Yep, we were lame and had our first real date on Valentine's Day 11 years ago in college. Now we celebrate our wedding anniversary instead of our dating anniversary. This year I plan to cook up some lobster tails and make some truffled mac and cheese to accompany it for our date night at home. We don't usually exchange gifts (I am pretty happy with champagne and flowers) but if we did here are a few things I love!

DAVID YURMAN WHEATON RING
I love all David Yurman jewelry but especially this ring! I really want this pink beauty on my hand! Maybe for our wedding anniversary:)


TIBI SLIT BACK SHIFT DRESS
If we were going on a date I would want to wear this hot number. I love the color and shift dresses are my favorite style of dresses. Tibi really knows how to rock out a killer dress!



ZERO + MARIA CORNEJO SWIM SUIT
I really love a good one piece, especially since having a baby and my stomach ain't exactly the same if you know what I mean. The hot pink makes me swoon and how gorgeous is the back? A chic one-piece for sure.





VOSAGE CHOCOLATE
I am obsessed with this candy. Best chocolate ever. I would be a happy lady to have a box of these chocolates!


MUMM NAPA VALLEY BRUT ROSE
This is my favorite champagne. I could and would like to drink an entire bottle of it tonight!


On another note I am guest posting over at Gaby's blog, The Vault Files, sharing whats in my make-up bag.

If you don't already read Gaby's blog you should. It is filled to the brim with fabulous fashion and decor. Plus Gaby makes and sells her own line of gorgeous jewelry. Check out her Etsy shop HERE Here is one necklace I have my eye on:

Pretty gorgeous, right? It comes in different colors, but you know me and how much I love hot pink! So please go check out my guest post HERE and visit Gaby's amazing Blog!

Happy first date anniversary! ;) Mine and Bryan's four year engagement anniversary is tomorrow. Your dinner sounds delish! We've got steaks and I'm making some sort of potatos and brussel sprouts to go along with them. Hope your day is sweet!

That Tibi dress is to die for! I have a bottle of Mumms rose chilling in my fridge as we speak. I just hope I can hold out until my husband gets home to open it ;)

Have a great Valentine's Day!

I love that hot pink bathing suit!! Wowza.

We are staying in and ordering fancy pizza. We NEVER order in so that's a huge treat for me!

natasha {schue love} said...

Great picks!! Love that today is your 11 year dating anniversary. We started dating on November 14th so this was our 3 month dating anniversary back in the day and since we got married on August 14th, it's officially been 2 and a half year since we've been married! :)

Now this post makes my heart sing.....the ring and champagne would make my year!! Ha.

Michaela said...

Happy Valentine's Day friend! I love everything you posted. Especially that pretty ring!!

Charleston Girl said...

You and your hubby are smart to stay in. We usually celebrate Vday on another night to avoid the crowds, but due to our week's schedule, we're going out to dinner tonight...at 8:30pm! Lol..that's the only reservation we could get. Sigh. Here's hoping I'll be sipping on a chilled glass of some champagne too! :)

Sweet Southern Prep said...

Love your obsessions. I've been to Mumm in Napa. It's amazing - and a great view too!

Aubrey {All Things Bright and Beautiful} said...

You have me really wanting to try out those amazing chocolates...speaking of, how amaze balls are those Reese's hearts??? Is it blasphemy to say that they are better than regular Reese's??? And hubbs should definitely surprise you with that ring...

Gaby [The Vault Files] said...

Oh you're so sweet!! Thanks so much Natalie!
I'm having a major obsession with Tibi, MAJOR. And that dress is so perfectly you!
Hope you have a wonderful day Nat!

Carrie said...

Seriously, how have I not stumbled upon your blog until today. Love it all!
And that DY ring, yes please!
Cheers!
