…who – despite having a deep and serious love for chick-flicks – has no desire to see The Vow.
…who refuses to listen to most dating/relationship “rules.”
…who still eats during NYFW.
…whose dad still asks her to be his Valentine. And says yes.

…are you with me on any of these?













I have no desire to see the vow. And I adore Rachel McAdams. Strange.
Yetti says
LOL I told the world I would never live in NYC, and now I am putting my ALL into finding a job there and moving there lol
I totally love cheap makeup…I honestly do not spend more than $10 on anything…even that seems SO expensive to me! I can never believe it when my friends get like $30 mascara at Sephora…WHAT?! haha
Molly says
I have no desire to see the Vow either. So many of my friends are freaking out about it.
I’m really not into Channing Tatum in general, but I usually love Rachel McAdams movies.
SAME. love Rachel, not a fan of Channing…*yawn*
I’m with you on The Vow. I think it looks stupid-despite the storyline being true. And…prepare yourself…I don’t actually find Channing Tatum that attractive.
me neither!
Agree on ‘The Vow’. I am 100% mystified as to the hype about it, there isn’t usually a hype to chick flicks…also with you on dating/relationship advice. I’ll do it my own way, thanks much
I saw The Vow and I was really disappointed, so trust me when I say you aren’t missing much. I agree, I don’t find Channing Tatum all that attractive. What can I say? I’m more of a Zac Efron girl. Did I mention he’ll be in a movie, based on a Nicholas Sparks book of course, called The Lucky One? I can’t wait
Oh and I love .99 cent makeup - the Elf bronzer/blush compact rules. Clearly, I don’t abide by dating rules either since I sent a “sorry, I really don’t see this going anywhere” text on Valentine’s Day - but hey, a girl has to follow her heart right?
“I sent a “sorry, I really don’t see this going anywhere” text on Valentine’s Day” <— good for you!! i feel like so many girls blame guys for leading us on but we do the same thing, so major props for the honesty!
Sher says
Aw, I love how your Dad asked you to be his Valentine! So cute! I thought I wanted to see the Vow..not so much anymore. Some of these gushy love movies are annoying…and yeah for cheap makeup! Wet ‘n Wild and ELF!
I loove me some chocolate; however, I completely agree with ALL of the other ones. every single one.
Hi Gracie! Love your blog-big fan
I am SO with you on the cheap drugstore makeup. (And I’m even a licensed Esthetician and Makeup artist and work at an upscale spa…shhhhhh!) I love the spendy stuff too, but why break the bank if you can save your mulah and still look hot?!
Hey Jess - thanks for the comment!
That is too funny - I won’t tell anyone
You didn’t miss anything, The Vow really wasn’t that great. Nothing can beat the Notebook.
…. I’m with you on every. single. one. of. these. <3
Ok, so I actually saw the Vow last night and thought it was fantastic and so much better than people are saying! I love chick flicks and Channing actually did a good job in this one- much better than his previous movies! And as for the relationship rules, hey, some rules were meant to be broken
YES! I’m not that big of a chocolate fan, at all!
I’m with you on 3, 4 and 6.
I am a huge fan of your closet! In love with that headband girl!
thanks babe!
I could not deal with some people during NYFW. People get crazy! Girls’ gotta eat!
I don’t really have an interest in seeing “The Vow” either. But I CANNOT agree with you on the chocolate thing!
Conni says
The Vow seriously looks like one of the most uninteresting movies I could ever watch. I’ll save my $10 thanks.
I do want to see The Vow, but sometimes I swear I’m the only girl who’s not obsessed with Channing Tatum… I just don’t see the appeal. Ryan Gosling is much more my type.
I am the only girl who did not cry during the vow. I honestly only wanted to see it because of Channing
I get the cheap makeup too. It’s just as good in my book, I don’t know the difference! hah
L says
Dating rules are for seventh grade! Heck yes to breaking them
Is that a real fur scarf (maybe not the right word for it?) that you’re wearing in your picture?
nope - faux!
Shalini says
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT COAT FROM?!? LOVE lol
Macy’s!
i’m with you on about all of them! NEVER want to see the vow.. really not a chocolate fan… i hate following “dating rules,” and am most definitely eating during NYFW! oh and of course i rock the 99 cent drug store makeup— imma poor college student.
Katie says
The Vow was actually REALLY good. Um I am the absolute worst at following dating rules! I give the whole truth up front and go crazy when girls are demanding. Ask, don’t’ demand friend also Valentine’s Day? Not my fave holiday, you should love your significant other every day if you have one. Makeup? I can do one worse I put on a few dots of bare minerals concealer and that’s it… I don’t think I’ve worn mascara, blush or lipgloss in 3 years? Oops!
Katie says
I’m lucky most guys think it’s cute that I live in yoga pants and no makeup lol

I always do love these posts and I agree with you on just about everything in this one. Cheap make-up is the best! Seriously, if I end up getting the wrong shade in something, it’s not really a big deal. BUT ‘The Vow’ was actually really good, in my opinion at least. I’ve always LOVED Rachel McAdams and she doesn’t dissapoint in this. The reason I think I liked it so much was because it’s based on true events. I looked up the real story and it’s just so great to see a love like that. If you didn’t catch on, I’m somewhat of a hopeless romantic so I get easily wrapped into these kind of stories. Ha!
hehe fineee…maybe (just maybe) i’ll have to give The Vow a shot
Emily says
Um I TOTALLY buy 99 cents stuff at the drug store, and plan on doing it 8,000 times more often once I move into the city in March. There’s NOTHING wrong with being a bit frugal
Tara says
Gracie, I love that your dad asks you to be his Valentine. How sweet <3
I saw “The Vow” on VDay with my other half and wasn’t really impressed. I am a total chick-flick lover and despite not having any expectations [didn’t read the book] I thought it was just ehhh and he said it wasn’t too bad [aka it wasn’t lovey enough hehe]…
GIRL I’m the queen of Wet and Wild makeup. Hellllo 99 cent eyeliner + nail polish
You crack me up - this post rocks. Enjoy your lovely weekend! xo
All of my roommates want to go out to see The Vow tonight…I’d honestly rather stay home, save my money, and get my homework done. It just doesn’t sound like something I really want to see :/
sara says
I am totally with you on drugstore makeup. Maybelline mascara is the best.
However, I’m your opposite with the “Feb photo a day”. My New Year’s resolution is to take one photo a day.
Kelsey says
I was dying to see The Vow, and was very disappointed.
Maria Braganza says
Hey!! Do you realise how much publicity you have given ‘The Vow’….Im gonna watch it & you live in my favorite city in the whole world visited NYC in 2000 & 2005…big difference after 9/11
