Date Night








dress, bracelet, belt c/o Marc Cain | bracelets, earrings c/o poshlocket (here+here) | sunglasses: H&M shoes: Zara

Stephen and I are always pretty intentional about having date nights,
We turn off our phones...
Well Stephen turns off his, the most advanced thing my phone does is text...
and it takes me like 20 minutes to send a two sentence text, so I don't even bother...
it belongs in a 90's museum.

I do my hair and put on makeup,
and we go have a nice meal somewhere.

Saturday morning it rained
(per usual)
but then a miracle happened and the sun came out.
I put on a dress without a jacket
and Stephen and I went out.

It had been a rough week for us,
especially S,
so it was nice to get back to us and do something normal.

Thank you all SO much for your sweet comments on my post about Granny P.
Stephen and I read through them all and cried.
We felt your love and prayers.

  4. I'm glad the sun finally came out for you...literally and figuratively!

    The concept of a 90s museum makes me happy. I can donate the Gameboy + Kirby's Dream Land that we keep in our bathroom, and my Talkboy. You're going to make millions with this idea!!

  13. Love the dress - it looks absolutely incredible on you! Jurg and I also try and be intentional in switching off our phones when we go out for dinner, although we do sometimes slip!

    Condolences regarding S's Gran, I read your last post and she sounds like a phenomenal woman with lots and lots of spunk. Will be thinking of you guys :)

  15. Love this red on you!! I've always wanted to buy a red dress but to scared of being noticed. Lame, I know.

    So glad you guys had a night out w/the sun shining away. I'm a little surprised with it being so shiny and beautiful, that NO ONE is on the streets...per the pictures of course. I'd think the streets would be filled with people dancing and screaming 'hallelujah'!!

  28. You look great, I love that dress. Date nights are my favorite night of the week! Granny Penny sounds so sweet, I'm sorry for your loss. -Heidi http://fabricandfrosting.blogspot.no/

  29. Megan I didn't see your post about Stephen's grandma until now but wow. Wow. I'm just kind of speechless. The kind of speechless though, where if I work really hard I can think of what to say, so I'll try ....

    I can't think of anyone writing anything more beautiful than what you wrote about her. It shoots straight to my heart because Stephen's grandma sounds a lot like my Nan who I also loved fiercely who I lost five years ago this month.

    She was right, none of us can live forever but I think she got more than she could've hoped for in a partner for him. You are an amazing woman & as long as you remember how she would want you to treat Stephen & do it, I think you'll always be doing a great job.

    He's a lucky man & I know his granny is thankful for you too :)

  36. Such a beautiful outfit. I love that you and Stephen put work into your date nights, in my opinion being intentional about putting effort into your relationship is what makes it last (but what do I know!). I'm so glad you could feel the love and prayers!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Stephen must have had the most beautiful date in the entire city! You look great. I am hoping the exact opposite will happen over here. I hop the sun might go into hiding for a little while!!! Hope everybody is doing well!

  42. What a lovely dress that is! Your choice of accessories and shoes are great, as they perfectly complement your dress. It's great that you didn't go overboard with the accessorizing. Your pair of black and pink heels that is coupled with a black lace is a stunner. It's perfect for a classy date.
