Happy Monday, girls!
It's Hope!
With Valentine's Day
fast approaching
I've been dreaming a little of
champagne and chocolate.
I even placed a chocolate bon-bon button
on my headband today in honor of my post!
Here's a little Valentine quiz.
What is bubbly ...
and sweet ...
intoxicating ...
and luscious ...
we girls, of course ...
and we all deserve a fabulous Valentine's Day!
If you'd like to wake up each morning
with a little chocolate waiting for you on your nightstand,
this sweet little lamp would do the trick!
The "Chocolite" from the Nemo Division of Cassina
has a glossy stem and base, reminiscent of pouring chocolate
and the shade is matte like a pretty little bon bon!
(Now all we'd need is a chocolate-scented lightbulb!)
What will you be doing on February 14?
Perhaps you will pour your heart our in a sweet love note ...
or accept the delivery of a single romantic rose ...
we girls, of course ...
and we all deserve a fabulous Valentine's Day!

Whatever Valentine's Day finds you doing,
we Ooh La Frou Frou girls hope
your Valentine's Day is very sweet!
If you love champagne and chocolate as I do,
you may want to bring the pleasure
of both of them into your life in more ways than one ...
I say ... why not?

Why not a chocolate purse?
Clockwise starting in upper left ...
The chocolate Italian leather faux ostrich messenger bag
looks like dark chocolate with nuts.
And the Lady Dior is a chocolate bar extraordinaire!
The glossy Italian Guia handbag looks like
a sheet of shiny milk chocolate with a little caramel mixed in.
The La Regale faux croco roll clutch is much prettier than a Tootsie Roll!
How about this idea ...
we could walk all over town
in champagne and chocolate!
The Christian Louboutin Pink Champagne Peep-Toes
are something to celebrate and glossy chocolate patent leather shoes
always look deliciously sweet!
Shown are Jessica Simpson Chocolate Ladonna Heels.
If you were dreaming up the perfect
Valentine's Gift for yourself, what would it be?
I don't know about you,
but chocolate and champagne diamonds would be my pick!
I think the pink champagne diamond solitaire
would look oh-so-lovely on my hand!
Whatever you do for Valentine's Day,
be sure to stir up a little romantic magic!
Chocolate Bon-Bon Teaspoons
And to help you stir up that magic,
I'll finish up my champagne and chocolate post
with a recipe from Valhrona for these fabulous
Dark Chocolate Macaroons!
Mmmmmm .... ooh la la!
Have a glamorous week, everyone1

Is it possible that this is my favorite post that you've ever done? Of course the fact that it involves chocolate and champagne, two of my favorite substances might have something to do with it. I love that image of the swirling chocolate--is that a print? If so, I must have it! And of course those chocolate teaspoons and dark choc macarons are making me ever so hungry. Thank you for such a delicious post! Hope your week is off to a happy start!!
xo Mary Jo
What an adorable post. I appreciate all the work that went into it. I hear the Dior bag calling my name! xo
Torture! Now I want chocolate! As always pretty, pretty, pretty!
Merci!
Cupcake

Oh it can't come soon enough, darling! I might have to cheat and go buy myself some chocolate in advance after reading this scrumptious post! :) xoxo
Luv notes for the following Glamorous Girlfriends from Ooh La Frou Frou girl Hope:
Mary Jo from TrustYourStyle: Thank you, lovely, for such a sweet comment. How could I go wrong with chocolate and champagne, right? Yes, the light and dark chocolate swirling about is from a website called allposters.com I've copied and tinied the link for you ... hopefully it will work from here: http://tiny.cc/12y36 If it doesn't, just let me know and I'll e-mail you the link! xoxo
Debby: Yes, I agree with you, Dior calls my name often! I think I hear it now! Thanks for stopping by, sweet! xoxo

Thanks for comin' to see me girls -- Hope ;)
A luv note from Hope for:
The Alternative Wife: One of the wonderful things in the world is that dark chocolate is good for us, no? Thanks so much for visiting me, sweetie. Hope your Valentine's Day is delicious! xo
I will take everything chocolate, one of my favorite colors (and flavors!). Just gorgeous! XX!
This post is just filled with so much yummy eye candy - so sweet! I'm going to a Chocolate Champagne Shopping Party at one of my favorite boutiques this Friday... oh how fun it would be to all go together! Wishing you a chocolate covered, champagne bubbling Valentines Day! XOXO
Ah Valentine's Day! It's only a week away! All this romantic talk is getting me excited for the 14th! Well, all the romantic talk, and those fabulous handbags, shoes and diamonds! I'm actually not a huge huge fan of chocolate (gasp!), so yes, those handbags, shoes and diamonds work well for me!

Luv notes from Ooh La Frou Frou girl Hope to the following girlfriends:
Shari at Little Blue Deer: Everything in chocolate coming right up! I'm with you ... what a wonderful thing that dark chocolate is good for you! Thanks for stopping by, Shari! xoxo
Pink Champagne: A Chocolate Champagne Shopping Party? How fun would that be? I agree ... if we could all go together that would be the best ... of course, we'd have to finish up with going out for a chocolate dessert afterward ... with champagne? ;) Thanks, sweet! xoxo
Oh Boy! Delightful post! I loved so many things ... loved the "hard" candy options too (purses, jewellery) Really well done darling!
Lluv notes to the following glamorous girlfriends from Hope;
Angelica Ng: Since you won't be eating the real chocolate, you'll just have to have an extra dose of chocolate diamonds ... fair? ;) Everyone needs their daily dose of chocolate in some form! Thanks for stopping by, sweets!
Layers and Layers: Thank you, darlin! Loved that you called the shoes and jewelry the "hard candy!" So witty you are, girlfriend! Thanks so much for stopping to see us! xoxo
Be still my beating heart!! Chocolate and champagne...delightful! I LOVE that La Regale faux croco roll clutch..I just go gaga for clutches!!!
I adore that Marlene Dietrich quotes....so true. I think I'm going to go nibble on my peanut butter chocolate melt-away now...giggle..
Those are my kind of gifts, Hope! Fabulous post- I adore the chocolate bags! Hugs to you xoxo
Oh my God Sandy! This post had me drooling and salivating all over my computer (you little minx!). That chocolate lamp is beautiful, but my fav picture was the swirly ice-cream! I can't get "swirly" ice-cream in Spain, and this just made me wish I was back in London.This post really is dangerous for ones waistline (and wallet!!).
Luv notes from Hope to:
Margarita Bloom: I share your passion for clutches .. There's just something so ladylike about a well-groomed hand with a pretty manicure holding a clutch ... One just makes you notice the other! And a clutch that reminds us of chocolate? Mercy! Thanks, darling, for visiting me! xo
Brunch at Saks: Hi love! Thanks so much for stopping by! Yes, I think carrying one of those chocolate bags with a simple blush pink sheath dress would be tres elegante! Have a very SWEET week! xo
Vanessa@Luxuria: Oh, darling, would if I could, I'd special delivery a chocolate swirl cone right over to Spain just for you! I guess you can look at it this way ... It will be even MORE delicious than ever when you DO ghet to have one again! (Some things are worth the wait! Just make sure the next time you're back in London that it's summer!) Sending you chocolate swirl wishes for a delicious week! xo
I really don't think I could have the chocolate lamp in my house, it would have me constantly craving chocolate. But I could completely have champagne diamonds all around!
Oh my I'm so hungry for chocolate now!!
Loving the chocolate post! I am amazed at the chocolate lamp!!!
Happy Wednesday!
Xo,
E&J

Should have named my pets Chocolate and Champagne. Toast: May the only pain you ever experience is champagne ~ Lisa on the Guiding Light...sometime in the '80's I think. :) xox Alexandra
Little notes from Hope to:
Blondie: Ooh La Frou Frou is a new cardline and we started out with individual cards. Soon there will be boxed notes, thank you's, invitations, etc. but we've not created them yet ~ but they're coming! Unfortunately, probably not as soon as you need them this time, though, sweets. xo
