Even though I have shared my disdain for Valentine’s Day I still managed to have a pretty good 14th February. MM and I met up for lunch with an old friend who was in Atlanta for business. We hadn’t seen him for probably 5 years so it was lovely to catch up over some good food at one of my favorite places to dine, Canoe. I could have sat there all afternoon but of course had to go and collect my sugar fueled daughter from school ready for ballet. I was quite relieved that she was going to dance off some of the Valentine’s Day sugar buzz. It was freezing here so wore my AllSaints Char cashmere jumper to keep me snug, along with my Hudson Collin jeans and Tory Burch flannel Revas.
I’m feeling a bit nerdy again today as I’ve been doing some Facebook development for our business page. Years ago I did some coding as an IT consultant and I still love to get my hands dirty occasionally. I’ve discovered a fantastic application called ShortStack that allows you to develop custom forms and tabs on a Facebook page. I’ve even managed to put a tab on Poppy’s Style Facebook page where you can see new blog posts and the RSS feed! I LOVE it and I feel like I’ve had a very productive day customizing some tabs, so let’s hope both pages get an uptick in fans thanks to my inner geek.
My daughter is having a play date this afternoon with a ballet buddy and I love her Mom so I’m looking forward to having a natter. Her Mom is a runner too so I’m hoping I can convince her to run a couple of half marathons over the next year or so. Unfortunately I have been a bit lazy over the past few days and have been lacking motivation due to the weather here. I’m so ready for spring to return so I can get back outside once again, pounding the pavements.
The sun is shining today so I chose a bit of color with my Boden aqua wrap jumper. I was pretty uninspired this morning so went for the easy button again with my jeans and flannel Revas, all topped off with JCrew‘s boyfriend blazer from a couple of years ago.
My nail polish at the moment is Chanel’s Madness but I think I’m going for a change tonight with something a little lighter – decisions, decisions….

There is a nice half marathon here in St. Tropez in october…. 🙂
I seriously might do that – I can’t think of a more fabulous place to run 13 miles!!!
That first outfit looks perfect for dance class…very ballerina chic. LOVE!
My daughter and son needed to come down from their sugar high, too, so I made them go to their “science” class after preschool. I didn’t realize their teacher would give them little hershey’s kisses, too. Oh well!
