Look of The Day: Two drifters off to see the world. There's such a lot of world to see.

I got an early Valentines day treat today!! My Mother in Law is pretty much the coolest! She stopped by tonight with some Valentines Day treats for me (well and my Nieces but they have to wait for theirs) and I have to say she was looking pretty amazing and hip this evening. I hope my MIL, who never had any daughters, now thinks as my Sister In Law Rebecca and I both as daughters because she sure spoils us like we were her own. Not only does she take take time to read my blog regularly(and share the link with her friends) and she also always looks out for me. And ever since my "On the Hunt" post about champagne coupes she too has been on the hunt for them. I now how a collection that even Marie Antoinette or Holly Golighty would envy. And what makes them even better is that they are the real thing, fabulous and vintage! No longer shall I use regular drinking glasses, Champange coupes is all it is! Thank you so much Shelia for my Valentines Day Treats. I love you!
My outfit today, after a week of pouting about the prolonging of winter, I decided not to wallow in my spring wishes and instead relish in the items I can only wear a few weeks longer. Like my favorite Joie Twiggy Over the Knee boots. LOVE! I will miss these all spring and summer! I did not wear them enough.
And my favorite Joie Tunic {similar here}which spurred my favorite blog comment of all time made by the ever fabulous Chloe! Who Knew she was poet?
Dear Vanessa Hudgons,
There once was a girl with no pants,
She starred in a movie where she would sing and dance,
Then a blogger came along,
And wore it so well- that same tunic of chiffon,
And looked much more styleish that you didn't EVEN have a chance.

Bravo! *claps*

And my Valentine's day Surprise!!! Coupes!!
And our special personalized glasses that Shelia made for us! She is SO crafty and made us each personailzed beaded glasses. You know, so we know who's glass to fill up higher ;)
And of course these coupes influenced me to watch Breakfast at Tiffany one last time before it no longer available On Demand! And you better bet that tomorrow morning I will be drinking my orange juice or {almond} milk, or maybe green monster out of one of these a'la Holly. And I can only imagine my morning toast will involve a tribute to late and great Alexander McQueen. A legend was lost today... His presence and influence will be forever missed.
