The boyfriend, Mr. Taylor, and I are keeping it really simple this year for Valentine’s Day. No 4-star restaurants, no flowers, no gifts. Just a simple meal and a few episodes of Game of Thrones, romantic eh? Here’s a peek at our menu that I wrote on our chalkboard wall. Nothing fancy, just a few of our favorite things.
Hope you all have a lovely Valentine’s Day, whether you’re celebrating with your lover, friends, or a giant bowl of ice cream. I like my V-Day to consist of all 3.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Mine was super lazy. I didn’t end up going to the Rose Bowl flea, sadly. Wanted to go so badly but instead, I decided to be a bum and lounge around all day, watching Game of Thrones and eating lots of crap food. And then on Sunday night, I worked…
Speaking of work, I never really talk about work. I can’t really. But I do wear lots and lots of black-on-black outfits. Black dresses, black blazers, black tights, black shoes, black heart (har har, just kidding…but not really). My closet is becoming primarily black because of it. When I shop for dresses, I gravitate towards the darkest colors, knowing they could be worn multiple times for events. Also, I saw Paul McCartney last night. And then I had a slight panic attack. I mean, we’re talking face-to-face. Don’t tell anyone I’m telling you. But yes, black dresses. Lots of black dresses.

So it was 80 degrees on my birthday this weekend. That happened. I’ve never experienced a warm birthday before and it was kind of amazing. We went over to Silverlake for brunch in the morning (more on that tomorrow) and then popped over to my absolute favorite place in all of LA, Griffith Observatory. It was so clear and beautiful outside – I could not have asked for a more perfect day.
Later, my fam-bam came out and we ate, ate, ate some more. All I ever want to do on my birthday is eat good food and be around loved ones. That’s all you need to make this girl happy.
*These are my new green pants – obsessed! Wearing an H&M sweater, Ann Taylor Loft shirt, J. Crew green jeans, Steve Madden boots, & J. Crew shoulder bag. Oh, and I desperately need a hair cut. PS – the below photo is the view of Griffith Observatory and Hollywood sign from Silverlake.
And this bad boy is the Observatory. Seriously takes my breath away every time. You guys!! Thanks for all of the sweet birthday wishes, by the way. I. heart. you.

Oh my gosh, my Photoshop decided to crap out last night as I was putting my instagrams together and thought it was a grand idea NOT to save any of my open projects. So these here instagrams are a screenshot from inside my Photoshop program as it was frozen. So that’s why it looks like crap – but oh well, we all can’t be winners, am I right? Here’s what’s been going on lately, according to my instagram account (@thestyleeater):

+ Is it coo de la to wear Christmas plaids still? What’s the cut off date here? Also, is “coo de la” a real phrase or did Kyle make that one up? One never knows.
+ I really need to “finish” at least one room in my apartment so I can show you. I mean, ouy vey.
+ Although this earl gray hot chocolate sounds like it would be all types of weird, it combines 2 of my favorite things so I must try it.
+ I think it’s time to chop my locks off. I could really use a new hair do.
+ That awkward moment when your friend/coworker introduces you to someone who you’ve met several times and says “Do you know Janelle?” and that person says “No! So nice to meet you” and you’re thinking oh wow, we’ve met like 3 times in 2011, cool.
+ Gosh, I really hate blogs that don’t post regularly. How rude of them. Oh wait, that’s me. Please forgive me!
