Going Postal

My local post office has an abysmal record when it comes to get­ting my mail, so of course my online shop­ping habit has been a bit quelled…so anyway, I ordered some items from Kaarme and my mail car­rier took his sweet time get­ting them to me. They arrived just in time for my hot Valentine’s Day date with Sean!

My “hot date” outfit…isn’t.

We don’t make a huge deal out of the day, but it is a nice excuse to get schmoopy and go out for some fun. We saw “The Woman In Black,” which wasn’t great on its own, but was def­i­nitely improved by the ter­ri­fied teenagers screaming all around us (while we laughed like the jaded horror fans we are).

I got a couple of shirts from Kaarme and a tote bag — all from the pre­vious season’s line, as again, the mail is ter­rible around here. Worth the wait — big com­fort­able soft paper-​thin shirts are my favorites. The tote was big enough to sneak this heart-​shaped box of choco­lates into the movie, which is all I can ask for when the­ater pop­corn is $8 a bag.

Catraisers

If you haven’t jumped on the Hellraisers band­wagon yet, I encourage you to do so. I was trying to hold back and save money, until of course I found a crazy deal (coupon codes are my best friends), at which point I fell apart and ordered them anyway. They look like deadly weapons, but they feel soft and com­fort­able like slip­pers — I’ve been wearing them every­where. My not-​quite-​two-​year-​old cousin was fas­ci­nated with them over the hol­i­days; hope­fully she grows up to be another little brutal fash­ion­ista. (Lillehammer is also intrigued, as you can see.)

What kind of retail therapy has been car­rying you through the winter? I can’t wait to get back into shorts and sandals…
