I DO!

Recently I have felt that a lot of people around me are getting married, are going to a wedding, or are in one. 

In the spirit of love, tradition, and marriage I give you

Brooch Bouquets.

This amazing florist has come up with an ingenious idea.

I wish I had come up with it!!!

Not only would it become a tradition for your future, but it includes elements of the past.

Using your mother's, grandmother's, sister's, (pretty much anyone who would contribute to your bouquet) brooches seems to be the perfect time honored piece that you could pass down to your daughter or granddaughter.

Here are some of my favorites.

Also, this is her newest idea: Love letter bouquets!

Love Love Love

Almost makes me want to forget about texting, chatting, and email and start getting love letters... Almost

Alexander McQueen

In memory of the amazing work that Alexander "Lee" McQueen produced while he was alive, I dedicate this post to him and all of the inspiration he has provided me and many other people around the world.

A little boost...

I have something important this afternoon after I get off work, so I thought I might as well throw on some Red Lipstick to boost the self esteem!

It seems to have worked, but didn't make the butterflies go away...

Sexy Little Things

Sexy: Excitingly appealing; Glamourous 

A lot of things come to mind when the word Sexy is said.

Here is my list of Sexy Little Things that would make any woman happy this Valentine's Day.

Of course I have to start out with something Red.

This Kiss and Tell Teddy is perfect for showing all the right curves.

These are my favorite! 

Aside from Lingerie, there are many things that I consider Sexy.

Jewelry is one of them.

Check out this amazing ring from CCSkye

And nothing says Love more like this Ring

My idea of a PERFECT Valentine's Day gift this year would be Slippers

Kind of lame, I know, but they would be the perfect way for that special someone to let me know they have been listening to my whining about cold toes!

These Uggs are on the more expensive side for slippers, but anything close to style will do!

Just look at all of that fur! Definitely would warm my toesies!

Not into Valentine's Day?? Check out this Daily Candy Article on 7 Anti-Valentine's Day Gift Ideas.

My favorite is the New York City Smells... YUCK 

Still need some more ideas??

Happy Love Day!!!

Sweet Treats

Continuing on with the Valentine's Day theme, I give you Sweet Treats.

For those of you on a budget that want to do something from the heart (no pun intended), this is a great little 8 minute recipe for Sugar Heart Sandwich Cookies.

They look too good to eat...almost!

These personalized fortune cookies are such a cute idea! (hint, hint)

When I was watching The Bachelor last Monday Jake and Tenley went to China Town in San Francisco and made each other fortune cookies (cue the aww sound here!). 

The pro: This monster (just under a pound) fortune cookie will melt any woman's heart for under $30.

The con: It takes a couple weeks for delivery so no hopes for it in time for Valentine's Day.

My favorite Sweet Treat gift of all is the gift of love! Send your love to any special person in your life with one of these fabulous Bonnie Marcus cards! There are so many to choose from and you get a box for under $40! The best part about the Bonnie Marcus cards are the Cards for a Cause!

Stay tuned for the last edition of the Valentine's Day trio: 

Sexy Little Things

Chocolate Confections

Recently at work we received a package from a company wanting us to sell their dresses. The line is one that we would not normally carry, however they included a very surprising little box of chocolates.

This was not your average box of dove chocolates though. Once I opened the box I didn't think they were real. The looked too beautiful to eat.

Norman Love Confections is the source of these art pieces that melt in your mouth.

I tried finding the exact one that I had the pleasure in tasting, but I have come to find out that they were specially made. mmm.

So ladies, this is your chance to endure a little piece of heaven. Possibly even order a box for under $25 and keep it for those days that just seem to never get better!

For those chocolate LOVERS out there, Norman Love also has a chocolate club that just sounds too good to be true. I am not going to lie it is a little pricey, but you get your choice of 4 to 12 shipments of these delectable treats.

Not a fan of chocolate?? Stay tuned!

Coming up: Other treats for Valentine's Day

And so it begins...

Welcome to the first edition of Red Lipstick!

I believe that every woman needs a little inspiration at some point in her life. With that I start with Marilyn.

I want to be a source of inspiration in the office, in the home, in the bedroom, in the closet (wardrobe, ladies, wardrobe), anywhere and everywhere we spend our daily lives.

As I sit here and think about all of the hopes I have for this blog, I am consumed by what is to come!

Doesn’t matter how dreary your day is, a dab of lipstick will always give you a little ray of sunshine.

Enjoy!
