I’m not sure how many Husband’s or Boyfriend’s read my blog. I think it is safe to say that we are a pretty homogeneous group when it come to gender. However, here are some fabulous ideas for Valentine’s Day gifts. You COULD always forward this to your Valentine with a “hint hint” subject line!!
During the snow storm last week, I watched an old favorite…St. Elmo’s Fire. It brought back so many memories!

I loved everything about that movie, the characters, the clothes, the friendships, Georgetown. I watched it over and over in High School. Seeing it again made me think of the actors, I loved soooo much. I really would like to read Rob Lowes book “Stories I Only Tell My Friends”. Everyone I know, who read it. highly recommends this book. I wonder if there are any great St. Elmo’s Stories buried in there. You can buy it on Amazon HERE

The week’s fashionable friend is a mom of two of my good friends!! As my friendship with these lovely sisters grew, my friendship with their mom also grew! Mrs. M always has great recipes. She is wonderful at a lot of things, not only cooking, gardening, decorating, collecting and much more. She is famous for her meatballs, which she told me she makes in a CROCK POT!!!!!!!! I found a crock pot meatball recipe for you. I know it is not “Nanny’s” but I think you will like it!!! Give it a try!

Since I received so much positive feedback on the first Target Love post, I thought I would do another one, just in time for the weekend. I love all these home decor items (I threw in some jewels for good measure!). Doesn’t this set look like it came out of a high end home decor store? Well every single item is available at Target. I am so impressed with the high style that is available behind Target’s red doors. If you have some time this upcoming weekend, stop by and pick up a stylish Target treasure of your own.
This weeks Wish List Wednesday item is a Slim Aarons print. Slim Aarons was an American photographer who was know for photographing celebrities, socialites and jet-setters. I love the tranquilly and simplistic opulence of them. Each print makes me wish I was there, basking in the sunlight, with these beautiful backgrounds and people. I have the perfect space for one of these gorgeous photos. Any one will do!!!!!
