Valentine Coupon Booklet – Love Trumps All

January 22, 2014 by suzanne carillo

Husband don't read this. 

I put together a little love coupon booklet for our "when first we met" anniversary that comes up on Feb 16th. Since our anniversary is just a couple of days after Valentine's Day we wait and celebrate our special day on the 16th. This works out pretty well for booking hotels or dinner out. 

Love_trumps_all_coupon_booklet_front

The love coupon booklet comes as one down-loadable PDF file.

Your_choice_date_coupon

Simply print onto matte heavyweight card-stock, trim and staple into booklet. 

Valentine_love_coupons_inside_pages

 Easy peezy.

Love_coupon_book_inside_pages

Coupons read as:

Your choice, Dinner – eat out or home cooked
You Win, I'm wrong
Your choice, Movie Night – with added bonus: Enthusiasm
1 Day No Chores – go ahead and take a nap
Extra Hot Sexytime – your choice
Your Choice, Date – whatever, whenever
1 Boys Night Out – no curfew

I just know that little "you win I'm wrong" is going to be used quickly.

Man how I'd love one for myself!

Front_love_coupon_booklet

Available now through my Etsy shop.

Do you ever make your own Valentine's Day gifts?

Styling Vintage to Modern Look #2

January 22, 2014 by suzanne carillo

So you saw the orginal look…

Vintage_look

Then the vintage blazer styled modern and edgy

Vintage_blazer_styled_modern

And now my third look, modern classic.

Vintage plaid blazer with boots

This is probably the most "me" out of the three looks.

How to make vintage modern

It is practicle with the boots, sweater and hat for this time of year.

Lucky brown leather cross body handbag

1950s plaid blazer

And I manage to incorporate one of my handmade necklaces. 

This has a bit of a equestrian vibe to it which is what the jacket reminded me of when I first saw it. 

What I think is important to point out is that in no way does this 1950's blazer look like it is "old". It is simply a well made classic piece. If you are able to find quality pieces such as this when you are shopping vintage they will never be out of style and you will never look like you are wearing a costume. 

What do you think? Which is your favourite look?

Do you wear vintage or have you ever considered wearing vintage? Has this little demonstration changed your mind about vintage?
