STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Metric · Gucci

ok, time for good boy stuff

cat · Marc Jacobs

I'll play. Even thought I've only been with my current BF 2 months and the relationship is long distance. I can safely say he the sweetest guy I've ever dated.

I love when he sends me irreverent, cute or funny text messages.

I love that he feels he can tell me anything. Even if it's something I would rather not know about.

I love the way he always refers to me by my nickname.

That he makes a long distance phone call but lets the dog grumble into the phone because she likes the sound of my voice.

I love when he sends me dirty text messages for the hell of it, and to be funny.

I love his sense of humor.

I love his intelligence.

I love when he kids that his new religion is worshiping me.

I love how sweet he is and thoughtful he is.

How he always has to ask how my day was and when I tell him really listens.

I love How he bought a new cell phone so we would have free mobile to mobile calling with each other.

I love that he believes my education and my wanting to have a career is a good thing and is very supportive of my pursuits.

I love that his family is important to him.

I love when he calls me for no other reason but to hear my voice.

I love that sometimes he can't sleep unless he has talked to me before bed and told me he loves me.

I love that he loves me for who I am and has not tried to change me.

I love that he is full of energy and sometimes a little hyper.

I love that he is considering uprooting his life and moving to be closer to me.

I love the sound of his voice.

I love that he sometimes calls me his angel

I love that he doesn't think feminism is a dirty word and supports women's rights.

I love that he is extremely sensitive and sweet.

He is the best!

I'm sure there is more that I'm not thinking of right know. If I think of more I''ll post it.

I love how my BF...

calls me "Tootsie Roll," which started out as "Toots" and has since evolved...

tucks me in bed, if I actually go to bed before him...

picks me up every night from work although I get out really late (I work second shift)...

acts all hard but then cuddles up to our cats...

carries me over puddles (but I usually have to beg for this, it is not always worth it)...

always tells me he loves me...

insists on holding my hand when we are out...

places family above all else...

knows to just let me bitch when I am PMSing without me even telling him (he says it is a distinct kind of craziness)...

understands how much I love shopping even though he himself hates it...

teaches me about cooking...

is tall, dark, and handsome (he really is!)...

sticks up for me against anyone (which can sometimes work against me because once someone wrongs me he holds a grudge for a long time)...

well, you all get the picture--my BF is great!

NCshopper · Hermes

There's a lot of good stuff about my husband. Here are a few. I love:

His weird sense of humor. His jokes are terrible, but I fall for them every time.
That he calls me "rabbit." I don't know where it came from, but I think it's cute. "Hey, rabbit!"
That we have inside jokes.
The way the corners of his eyes crinkle when he smiles at me. And the dimples.
That he loves my parents.
That sometimes he knows after a long day, I just need some down time before I can hang out and be me again.
That he makes my tea for me every morning. And he packs my lunch for me too.
That he knows my favorite places on my back to be scratched.
The farting noises. They can get a little out of hand, but DH just wouldn't be DH without the farting noises.
That he's a big hugger/cuddler.
That his favorite color is tangerine orange.
That he doesn't think I'm weird for taking pictures of my outfits for Thread Style. (He takes pictures of his food, so I think we're even. )
That he likes going shopping.
That he appreciates nice jewelry.
That he makes me feel cute, even though I'm not really the *cute* type.
That he makes me chicken soup when I'm sick.
That he's so encouraging and he thinks I can do anything

You get the point

I could keep going, but I need to get ready for work now. He's a great guy and I feel like the luckiest girl ever to have found him.

Edited to add a few more.

lynnie · Chanel

i love :

his speaking voice- it is soooo hot and deep and calming. he gets complimented a lot on it strangely.

the way he tucks me in if has has to leave for work earlier, or the way he makes me breakfast in bed if he wakes up first and i'm still asleep.

his laugh and smile

his eyes are really pretty brown that get amber colored with freckles in the sun

the way he always calls me dearie or sweetie or baby- if he doesn't, i don't like it one bit

his jokes- i think he has a really good sense of humor

i love how down to earth he is- although this is a blessing in disguise- sometimes it makes me feel guilty about preferring the finer things in life- he's just a jeans and t-shirt kinda guy, which i love about him

he's really passionate about music (plays guitar), writing/english/poetry (was his major), politics, and his job (teaching)- and he's really smart

laken1 · Hermes

Oh yay!

*I love that my hubby is supportive of everything I want to try. He thinks I can do anything.
*I love that he appreciates that I cook dinner or wash his clothes.
*I love that he doesn't insist I work so we can have more stuff. He is very unselfish with money & as long as the bills are paid, he doesn't care what I buy.
*I love that when I've had a busy day, he really truly wants me to take a day to have some fun even though he has to go to work.
*I love that he sends me icards all the time & im's me during the day that he loves me
*I love that he doesn't bitch if I didn't clean the house today, he's just happy that I'm there to greet him when he gets home.
*I love that we laugh at the same parts of tv shows & movies.
*I love that he is protective of me & gets mad if other people do mean things to me (or bump in the grocery!)
*I love that sometimes he'd rather cuddle than have sex.

jj · Kate Spade

This was a great idea!! I love my hubby because:

He is so incredibly patient.

He does the most thoughtful things for me - to help me feel better when I'm down, cheer me up when I'm sick, calm me when I get fired up.

He makes me laugh until I snort .

He gives the best hugs.

He always smells yummy.

He's my biggest supporter and cheerleader.

We are the crazy communicators. We talk about EVERYTHING, and he knows how important it is to me. He doesn't answer my questions with a shrug, grunt or mono-syllable answer.

We want the same things out of life.

He challenges me to try new things (I am such a creature of habit).

He gets along great with my dad. They LOVE spending time together.

He appreciates and understands fashion as an art form, he has great style.

He's just wonderful

blubirde · Chanel

Oh, I want to play!! We've only been dating for about 5 months but here's what I like about the boy:

I like that he lets me put the heater on my feet in his car, even though his toes burn.

I love that he actually likes to shop with me, even though I hardly ever buy anything.

I like that he'll do crafty Christmasy things with me even though he's never done them before.

I like how he gets into Project Runway even though it's not his cup of tea.

I like how he thinks I can beat Phil Gordon at poker (even though I can't).

I like how he loves movies and will watch any one I want to see and will actually like it if it's good!

I love how he makes me feel like I'm smart and special and not crazy at all. (Trust me, I'm crazy.)

I love how he thinks my ass is the sexiest thing ever even though I could be JLo three times over.

I like how he encourages me to do anything I want to do. He thinks I can do anything in the whole world.

I love how he wants to show me places he's already been, just because he wants to see them again with me.

And I LOVE how he thinks my sense of style is creative and distinct and classy, all at the same time.

I like how he lets me make fun of his hair and play with it even though it really is very nice hair.

I like how smart he is.

I like that he checks in with his mother everyday after work, but only for a couple minutes.

I like that he likes my friends.

I love how he's always up for doing absolutely anything, no matter if it's crazy like walking a few miles in the freezing cold (because there's ice on the roads) to the bookstore so I can catch up on my mag reading on my ice day.

I like that he's a good dresser.

I like that he's open to change.

Um... I think I like him!

lsubatgirl · Gucci

The way his whole face lights up when he comes home from work and sees me

He gives me a good talking too when I need one!

He believes in me and encourages me

He thinks I'm beautiful whether its when I'm all dolled up or when I've just woken up after a crazy night out and look all funky

He does chores around the apartment without me asking or even thinking about it

his cute way of calling me cutie when he emails or instant messages me - QT - and only we get it

the hilarious way he reacts to walking through some of the galleria stores (he had a sneezing fit through saks which was completely concidental- like it was an allergy attack)

he tries to cook for me with his limited recipe knowledge

his laugh

Lilykind · Hermes

I love...

the way he cuddles me in bed...wholeheartedly and like it's the last time it will ever happen.

that he's a smart cookie (graduated magna cum laude from UT business school)

that he always wants to spoil me.

the pet names he gave me.

that he talks about us like we've been married forever.

his eternal youth...he looks at life like it's a new adventure every day. Plus, he's so adorably anal-rententive about his comic books...

the fact that he will clean my apartment without my asking.

that he drives safely and carefully all the time (I don't drive)

that he thinks I'm gorgeous with or without makeup

that he knows my flaws and loves me despite them (and oh boy I'm sure there are many!)

that he trusts my decisions and gives me his blessing when I make them

his voice...it's so smooth and calming yet he always sounds like he's in control of whatever situation he's in.

that he doesn't care what size my boobs are or my ass it, but just wants me to be healthy.

that he is very adaptable

that he's my best critic...he knows when things aren't working before I do.

Well, he's just too durned adorable, period!

Sandy · Kate Spade

I want to play!!

When it comes to my boyfriend, I love

that he calls me Crumbs because more food gets on my clothes than in my mouth sometimes.
that he doesn't make me feel stupid for all of the silly things that I say
that he forgets just about everything, but he remembers which foods I like and which ones I don't-- I'm a very picky eater.
that he brings me Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia when I don't feel well, and makes sure he does anything he can to help me feel better
that he comes with me when I want to go shopping... and pretends that he wants to.
how excited he gets when we drive around neighborhoods, picking out which house we want to live in when we're ready.
that he loves to talk about our future with me.
that he always lets me be right.
how he backs down from any and all arguments because he knows how stubborn I am.
how he helps me roll my change (tips) and brings it to the bank for me because it's too heavy for me to carry.
how he calls me from work 2-3 times, just to say "hey" because he knows I'm home by myself.
that he loves my body, even though I don't.
how he can tell that I'm not feeling very cute, and he makes sure he tells me how beautiful I am.
how much he lets me complain and vent to him and he understands what and why things bother me, but at the same time, he puts everything into perspective for me.
that he lets me control the remote and the radio most of the time... and he lets me pick out movies
how he gets excited about things just because he knows that they make me happy
his scruff... as much as it hurts my face, he wouldn't be him without some scruff!

Aww... I love this thread! I'm glad I responded to this, because it's finals week and Christmas is coming; we're both pretty stressed and short-tempered right now. There's lots of silly bickering going on, so it's nice to concentrate on the good things instead of the bad. I love my boyfriend!!

erin · Chanel

my husband is awesome.

he loves me for all that i am (quirks included)
when we sit in bed for hours just cuddling and talking
he has the best laugh ever
even though romance isn't exactly his thing, he does little cute things for me all the time
we rock, scissor, paper to see who does certain things we don't want to do
he is so generous
he humors my extreme paranoia
he is supportive of all my choices, good and bad
he is going to be a really great father
he looks so cute when he dj's
his dedication to his work never ceases to amaze me
he's idealistic, and has hope for the world in ways i am too bitter to

JackieO527 · Dooney & Bourke

OOOOH this is a nice topic:

I have been with my boyfriend officially for 4 years, we actually dated a whole year before we actually boyfriend/gf. Its a long story, but:

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT HIM!!!

The way he looks at me, with so much love

when he kisses my forehead when I am sleeping.

The little notes he leaves me when I don't get to see him!

the effort he puts into every little thing to make me happy

we have only had one fight, and I think it is because we can communicate, when do not agree we don't try and see who can make the other person feel worse about the situation

When I can't sleep, he will read a book to me to help me sleep

the way he tells me everyday is some form I am beautiful

the way he understands I get over excited about the small things in life that make me happy,

He does my laundry and actually pays attention to what does and does not get dried and how they should be washed.

He will wake up early in the morning before he has to on really cold days to start my car and clean off the snow or ice so I don't have to bear the cold

Really all the little things that make each day a new adventure.

sfcaligirl · Dooney & Bourke

this thread is soooo sweet and it totally makes me wish that i had a serious boyfriend. sigh.... but i'll play anyway! these are the things i love about my pseudo-ex:

he believes in me.

the way he kisses... so perfect!

his beautiful brown eyes...and his gorgeous eyelashes! they're loooong and full and i'm officially jealous of them.

when he gives me back rubs.

he's smart and ambitious- a future doctor!

his silly jokes/sense of humor.

the way we fit together perfectly when we cuddle.

we're smart in completely different ways, so we're always learning from each other.

he cooks a mean lasagna.

he manages to make me feel close to him, even though we're on opposite coasts right now.

he's taaaalllll and big and strong and i always feel protected around him.

he tells me i'm beautiful.

he likes the OC as much as i do! (he actually got me addicted to the show)

we have so much fun together, no matter what we're doing.

he accepts me for who i am.

we've been through so much together and always support each other.

sephorablue · Marc Jacobs

things I love...

his beautiful brown eyes, insanely long eyelashes, and dimples

the way he has included me in every aspect of his life, right from the beginning

the conversations we have about stuff that's going on in our lives, the way we seek out and absorb each other's input

how he is so incredibly sexy and gorgeous and yet looks adorably nerdy wandering around his room in his glasses and boxers before he goes to bed

how patient he is with my nightmarish school/work schedule... even when I have to miss his shows, he knows I don't have a choice and he doesn't get upset

the way he keeps surprising me with things about him and aspects of him that I hadn't known

the way that all these new aspects just make me admire and love him more

the goofy text messages he sends me

the way he loves and enjoys my quirks

for example...the fact that he doesn't give me a hard time about my shopping habit and actually clearly enjoys being a spectator to it

how incredibly physically affectionate he is; it makes me feel wrapped up in a warm love blanket.
