Valentine's Day is almost upon us and I've been remiss not to share my wishlist. With a little help from Shopbop's Valentine's Day gift guide, I put together quite the list of things that make my heart skip a beat. The romantic holiday has always been a favorite of mine and this year I'm obsessing over all things ladylike (okay, not ALL things... that "I love the sh*t out of you" glass is hardly demure) and lacy. Aside from Saturday being our official "moving day", I've got plans to dress up in something pretty and Mr. Jackson has already made dinner reservations.

Here's to a happy love day! What's on your wishlist?

p.s. I am participating in an ongoing partnership with Shopbop, however, all opinions and words are my own. It is my policy to only select goods and companies that I truly believe in and wish to share with you. Thank you for supporting the brands that make Chelsea & The City possible.

Happy whickety-whickety-weekend my lovelies! This week was another doozy ladies and gentlemen (are there gentlemen reading? I'm sorry for all of the shoes...). Mr. Jackson's momma left early on Tuesday morning and I quickly crashed due in part to the worst. cold. ever. Nyquil replaced my main man and little girl as BFF number one but I'm feeling so much better now that the weekend (and Valentine's Day) is finally here. We've got big romantic plans to stay in our PJs, pop open some popcorn and watch a few favorite films just as soon as the mister returns from a long day at the office... perfection (especially since we're snowed in)! Another eventful thing this week: my first official bully happened by this happy little corner of the internet. I let her (I'm pretty sure I know who sent the nasty message... WordPress tracks IP addresses, dontcha know) bother me for a few seconds a good, long while and then realized: this blog is so much fun and I'm so thankful for all of the positive feedback and sweet tweets you send me throughout the week. A great big thank you from the bottom of my heart for making Chelsea & The City part of your daily/weekly routine!

Here's what I've been loving this week:

Valentine's Day is tomorrow, can you believe it? 2014 is definitely flying by and this particular holiday (no matter how many times I penciled it in on various calendars) kind of sneaked up on me. Since Mr. Jackson grabbed his keys and whizzed past in a mad dash to make it to a few shops yesterday, it's probably safe to assume that there a few of you (or a few of your hunnies) who have yet to find the perfect trinket for Friday. Fear not, a browser strategically left open to this little wishlist will calm all of your qualms... you're welcome!
