Bold Love


Photobucket

On V Day, there ain't no romantic dinner under a candle light just the two of us. But we did something a whole lot better by celebrating the day of love with an entire family - now thst is quite unusal right? I think it was great and gave a completely different Valentine's vibe. When mentioning about Valentine's day, this day is often associated with love and romance between couples. Love has no boundaries, thus Valentine's day should be the day we celebrate love of all kinds..be it mother's love..father's love...pet's love and so on.

I used to hate Valentine's day when i was young and single. It was quite depressing indeed because i didnt have a special someone to share the day with plus I didnt get any flowers (that's really disappointing!). Now that I am much older and married, i couldn't care less. A card is good enough, save money for a family dinner instead of paying for some overpriced flowers that will eventually end up in a trash. Or givea me a money bouquet, frugal much?? LOL I know I am not fun nor romantic as my husband would say.

Heck i guess age has a lot to do with a decrease in overall excitements. Anyway, my ever thoughtful husband managed to send some surprises to my work, not once but twice! First it was a Calla lillies plant and next a box of strawberries covered with chocolate from the famous Sharri's berries. Yum-O...What did i get for my husband, you ask? Nothing...now that's an awesome wife i am. No worries my love, there will be many late thank you gifts in the weeks to come. Better late than never, right..right??

Now to the outfit, i celebrated the day with some animal print, bold colored cardigan, big and cozy scarf and some tall black boots. This was my V day edition of bold love.

  3. Your post truly cracked me up! Great minds think alike! I got nothing for the hubs. Yup, zilch. He wanted to get me flowers but I'd much rather he caters to my tummy. You've also inspired me to match leopard print with violet/fuchsia color.

  11. Haha I didn't get anything for my bf and he didn't get anything for me either. We never celebrate V-days. Yes, I'm one of those annoying people who think it's commercialized hehe but really, I'd rather get surprise and random flowers/gifts/cards on random days just because.
    Glad you had a lovely time with la familia.
