For Your Valentine

Today I am taking a Valentine's Day theme and there are several options. One capitalizes on the last blog, Create Your Own Look. You could use February 14th as the beginning of the new you. Accessories, vintage clothes, or retro, you can be as bold as you like (or as shy). Another approach is to find the perfect item for your sweetheart, and it can be a little trinket or a whole outfit.

Let's start with a perfect dress for a romantic night:

This week, AKC announced the top 10 list of favorite American purebred dogs. The outstanding winner, once again, is the Labrador Retriever. I think this is the time to show off Heffy's brother, our favorite Lab.

Create Your Own Look

Every new year, there is talk of resolutions and change. This is the year I'll ----. You fill in whatever it might be. Today is the 8th, probably late enough that some of those promises have been broken or given up on. It's not too late for more though, and if you harbor hope of a new you, you can do it now. This is a promise you can pick up on any time of year. Now. Spring. Any time. And if you're like many of us, there is a bit of belt tightening going on too (not the weight loss you hoped for either). One way to economically gain a new look is by buying vintage. It's the perfect time for it too. Vintage clothes and looks have been getting a lot of press lately, and are very popular. New looks for 2009 include some retro styles like the metallic, futuristic look of the Jetsons and neo-classical Grecian. So check out some of the goods from your favorite vintage shop, thrift store, or even Heffy's Collections. One piece is enough to start. Here are a few to pique your interest:
