Happy day after chips and queso binging! Or Super Bowl, whichever it is for you. I think I ate my body weight in chips and dips, so I’m seeing things through puffy eyes today…but that fancy halftime show (and Gaga’s version of the National Anthem!) made it all worth it!
Mr. SP and I aren’t fancy people, and our dates are rarely fancy either (except this one and this one…they were pretty fancy!). Even Valentine’s Day is a fairly casual affair, and usually celebrated early to avoid crowds and fixed-price menus.
This year is no different…we’ve already snuck out for a brunch and shopping date, and since we were considering it our Valentine’s Day, I put together a more festive look to celebrate. Still comfy and casual in jeans, but acknowledging the holiday with a more passionate color combo of pink and red.
This pom-pom clutch has been a favorite of mine for awhile…it always adds so much personality and pizzazz to an outfit. And you’re in luck, it’s finally restocked, and with code HSPCLUTCH, it’s 20% off! That means you can own this delicious mix of pom-poms and embroidery for only $28!! It’s honestly darling with everything from jeans to dresses.

Fit Tip: This sweater has been a favorite this season (see another color styled 3 Ways here)…so soft and easy to wear. It’s cut more like a tunic, so I sized down to XXS for this post, but have my usual XS in the ivory one I wear with leggings. Update: Sweater just marked down!!
// The Grape //
Since 1972, The Grape has been a Dallas institution for it’s superb classic American fare and excellent wine pairings. It’s a completely unassuming spot from the outside, but inside is dark, cozy and romantic (and in true Dallas form, pretty much any style goes).
{What’s Good}
In a word…the burger! It’s only available during Sunday brunch, and since being voted Texas’ best burger, and Top 10 Burger in the nation, the few tables book fast and early. Everything we tried was delicious, but the burger is something to behold!
And excuse me, but when did our photographer get so big!!?? All of a sudden, he’s a young man…and I couldn’t be more proud, or love him more.
He’s been teaching himself how to shoot in manual setting, and I love watching his affinity for photography grow, and seeing what he captures. I discovered this shot he snuck after we thought he was done…I love it not just for the tenderness, but because our son liked seeing his parents genuine affection so much he wanted to photograph it. #gulp
What are your Valentine plans? Do you go all out, or keep it casual? And don’t forget to use HSPCLUTCH for 20% off the pom-pom clutch…code ends Thursday!
