February Fav Raves

Did you enjoy my first favs post? I hope so! What are you loving in February? Here are some things that I'm into this month.

First of all the Giants won the Superbowl! I'm excited about that for sure! I'm even more excited that they won against the Patriots and stupid Tom Brady didn't win. Ha ha ha! But seriously, this year's Super Bowl was a really exciting and close game. Steve, Steven and I just hung out at home and watched together. We had a great time. So congrats to them! Can't wait for football season again next year..

Another favorite this month is a show I've been loving all season, New Girl. This is a really entertaining show. Its so sweet and funny. I'm loving Zooey Deschanel in it. And the other characters in the show are pretty hilarious too. I even recruited Steve to watch New Girl and he likes it too!

Another thing that I really love, may sound stupid but its great...new sheets! Our other ones were gross, we had them since we got married and we definitely needed new ones. We picked up some grey ones that are similar to these at Target. They feel so crisp and clean! I love them :)

Another fav this month has been hanging out with my girlfriends! Since Steve has had so much homework in his class, he has been mostly doing that after Steven goes to bed on the weekends. That has given me an opportunity to hang out with my girls! Its been so nice spending time with them lately. Yay!

So what are you loving this February? Valentine's day is coming up and we are opting out this year. We both aren't super into it anyway, but maybe you are and you are loving something red or pink? :)

I'm going to feature a "favorite things" post every month on my blog. I wish I could be like Oprah and give all my favorite things out free to my blog readers...but unfortunately I'm not that cool. I'm going to try to do 5 each month but who knows, it may be more or may be less. So here's what I'm loving this month:

Skinny jeans and boots! I am in love with this look! I have been wearing them a lot this winter and just love how they look. Its a look I didn't think I would be able to pull off but I tried it on a few times and loved it! I have 2 pairs of boots I wear this winter and 3 pairs of skinny jeans! Woot!

Steve and I had a date night a few weekends ago and this is what I wore. He said I looked hot. Thanks, hubby. Don't mind the weird eyes, its a phone picture.

I am looooooving my new Coach purse this month! Steve got me a gift card to coach for my birthday, back in August. At first I was a little confused because even though I am a total fashonista, I have never really asked for a Coach purse and never really carried a designer handbag (knockoffs of designers, yes, but never the real thing!) So when he got me a big gift card to the Coach store, I was very surprised and also a little perplexed. I could tell he was trying to be thoughtful but I was more than a little worried about spending that much money on a purse!

So we went to the mall to pick one out but I really couldn't find anything that I LOVED (and for that money you better believe I'm not getting something that is eh). So I've been holding onto the gift card forever! Last weekend I was at the mall with my mom and found my new love. Isn't she beautiful? That purse was meant for me. Its sparkly, shiny and in purple! Thanks again, hubby.

I'm loving all these new babies being born and all my prego friends! I have a ton of friends who are prego right now and one that just had a baby last week! I'm so excited for all of them. Of course, every time I talk to one of them or hear about their life it makes me think back to when I was prego with Steven or when I just had him. That's one of the best times in my life! So special. Good luck all you ladies having babies...you'll need it! ;)

Since Steve and I don't have cable anymore I am having to be creative in the shows that I watch. We have Hulu Plus now which has a ton of shows on it, just not necessarily the ones that I'm used to watching. Well I found a gem on there that I am really loving....Mercy. Has anyone else seen this show? Its really great. Its like ER with lots of love and sex so I guess that makes it like Grey's Anatomy? Its about a Veteran too which makes me happy. Totally recommend it.

The last thing I've been loving this month is my mom's hand-me-down Kindle 2. She actually gave it to Steve for Christmas but I stole it (he never uses it!). Its great! I really wasn't sold on the whole E Reader thing but I really am enjoying the Kindle. Its an older model so no touch screen or apps or anything cool like that but I really enjoy reading books on it. It keeps your place, which is really useful and also fits neatly in my purse.  Also, it came with all 3 of the books on the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series loaded on it and I was already reading those, so its been great. Thanks again hubby!

I guess I should put Steve as one of my favs this month since he's gotten a mention in almost all of them! ha ha!! What are you guys loving this month? I guess January's almost over so I'll try to be more punctual with my February Fav Rave.
