I was really excited at the news that emerald was the pantone colour of 2013... Although, I wish it had been the shade of 2011, when I was rocking my emerald, handknitted snood. I'm either ahead or behind....

Print trousers...
Wish my luck folks... This weekend (or, realistically, when the weather improves a little) - I intend to embark on the printed trousers trend... I got these on sale from Long Tall Sally for £15 (you can't even get a good bottle of vino for that in London town!)
And with the contents of my wardrobe, I hope to look super-cool, like this:

Excited.

A fool for Valentines cool...
Chaps,
It's that time of year again, where lingerie companies are bringing out the garish red knickers in the hope that it will boost sales, as the romantic in us wants to impress our loved ones with gestures gleened from watching too many American sitcoms.
BUT
Don't be fooled by those who say "it's just another day. Doesn't matter to me..." They are liars... (For those of you who are now thinking "I am not a liar", you really need to examine this fervent denial...)
Doing something on Feb the 14th, is important; simply, so that you have an answer when people ask "What are you doing for Valentines' day?" or "What did you do for Valentines' day".... the nosy bastards.
Don't feel disheartened, it is also the time of year, when you non-single folk get to bask in one of the main benefits of being in a relationship; mainly, having someone to do sh*t with while us singletons scramble around trying desperately to find someone to go to a pub with us.
Valentines day is like the reward to you relationshippers for enduring all the family-related duties of the festive season. It's like a bonus after a hard year of work.
So, make an effort. Lord it over us singlesies. I don't want to hear any of this "it doesn't really matter, as every day is V-day to us" bullsh*t. I want gloating facebook posts about thoughtful dinners, masses of flowers and in 9 months time, I want you to name your child February or something, in honour of the blessed day of conception.
For those of you at a loss for ideas, here are a couple I gained from the internet:
1. Re-enact your first date
2. Rent a hotel room and pretend you're tourists
3. Go for a burger with your ex while your partner is away on business <-- I threw that in there to see if you're paying attention. Don't do this. This is a rubbish idea...
4. Make him/her a home made card (sounds budget, but they'll love the effort - esp chicks)
Or, one for the boys, do what any man who hopes to win my heart would do - buy pretty, sparkly things...
As for me... I will probably retire early to bed with a good book and some chucklit. I am just rock'n'roll like that...
But fear not, ladies and gentlemen, I am sure I will be part of the gloating masses soon. There is a lid for every pot*
*oooooh another idea. Send them a pot lid. And a note saying something to the effect of my above statement... "You're my lid, mofo" or summink like that... sigh... and they say romance is dead!
