I really enjoyed taking the time to read all of the comments for what made your Valentine’s Day special to you. Whether it was flowers for your mom, surprise chocolate at your door, or a devoted night to spend time with your best girlfriends filled with chick flicks and indulging in Nutella, you all have really proved how just a little love can go a long way to make just an ordinary day, a day to cherish.

I wanted to share a few of my favorites that brightened my day…and hopefully they will brighten yours as well…

Check them out!

“My plan for this wonderful holiday is to first take my mother flowers at work, and take my dad and brother chocolate covered strawberries. My boyfriend said he is going to take me to olive garden (my favorite) and to see the new Katherine Heigl movie! I do love this holiday!!” – Shannon

“My boyfriend asked me to go to dinner with him. I arrived before him and got a table, and he showed up with a dozen red roses, a box of chocolates, and a Tiffany’s blue box!” – Jade

“@GlamandGraffiti @Aerie I drove six hours to spend the weekend with my boyfriend J #GGMaddieXO” – @MeghanDepew

 “I’m in a long-distance relationship with my high school sweetheart, so unfortunately we couldn’t have plans ON valentine’s day, but he did make sure I had a box of my favorite chocolates delivered on time to my door, and I’m going to see him this weekend in Philadelphia and he’s taking me to a belated Valentine’s Day dinner ”- Heather

“This year for valentines day for my friends I hand wrote a bunch of little cards and surprised them in their homerooms with them along with a pink sucker. I also bought small boxes of chocolates for my parents and two brothers. I personally had a wonderful Valentines day this year. <3” – Julie

“#GGMaddieXO I came home to a candle lit dinner and a package to the spa after I had been at school and work all day. He totally surprised me!” – @Leslie_Walter90

“Girls night in with chick flicks and wine!” – Tracy

 “I spent Valentine’s Day watching Doctor Who with a jar of Nutella and a large mug of raspberry tea. It was the best night in I’ve had in a while.” – Abby

“I had the most romantic Valentine’s Day! My sweetheart and I stayed in this year. We watched Valentine’s Day and had an assortment of cheeses, Italian meats, and a glass of white wine. Happy Valentine’s Day! Xoxo” – Alise

 “I found chocolate covered strawberries at my front door this morning!” – Michelle

“My boyfriend and I are on opposite ends of the States– I’m in New York and he’s in California. However, we plan to Skype and watch a movie together at the same time to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Even if we can’t be together we can still spend time together ” – Michelle

“@Aerie @GlamandGraffiti Quiet dinner at home with the people I love most #GGMaddieXO” -@Thequadrizzle

Love truly is all around.

Till next time.

XOXO,

Aerie ‘Maddie’ Bra Giveaway!

February 14, 2012 in Glam: Style & Trends, Graffiti: Arts & Culture

{Heart this! Valentine’s Day Giveaway from Aerie!} 

It’s just another Tuesday.

A normal Tuesday where stores decided that over-sized, red hearts are considered sophisticated and trendy for their windows. A day where the mere hum of Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’ can start you on a passionate rant on your current relationship status. And, just another day where you have been hounded by the media to seek out and then give, that perfect gift.

Whether today’s the day you have been dreading because of ex-boyfriend angst or eagerly awaiting to surprise your sweetie, Valentine’s Day certainly causes you to think about one simple word.Love.

It’s simple. It doesn’t matter if you are single, dating, or married…today is really all about recognizing the people in your life that support, care, treasure, and love you.

So there’s no need in sending that letter to Congress arguing that today should not be an official celebrated Holiday…

No need to worry… for you can bet that your homemade card for your sweetie will be his favorite gift thus far…

Tell your family, your most cherished friends, and while you are at it, why not that cutie down the block ;)

Happy Valentine’s Day!
