valentine's day dresses

Everyone needs the perfect Valentine's Day dress, and yes, I know it's so typical to wear red or pink for Valentine's Day but I don't care... Rarely do I wear these colors any other time of the year, so why not for V-Day? I'm a total sucker for anything festive. Plus with so many amazing red and pink options out there, it's totally something to take advantage of!

I can't even narrow down my favorite of all of these because they all have their own special details. Florals, lace details, off the shoulder, bell sleeves and pleats are in for the upcoming season, so not only would these dresses make great date night picks but can also be worn into spring! And the best part about these dresses - they are ALL under $100!

Do you guys have Valentine's Day plans? I'm having a brunch with my girlfriends this weekend and will probably do a quiet dinner with the hubs on V-Day. Thanks for reading! XO

valentine's day gift guide | for her

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

February is moving right along and Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Even though I love Valentine's Day and fully support gift giving for any holiday, normally the hubs and I don't do gifts. But sometimes it's nice to surprise your loved one and get them a little something anyway. If you're one of those people that love to give or receive gifts, I've put together an amazing gift list for you! Tell your S.O. what you want, buy it yourself (and put it on his CC) or if you're a single lady, #treatyoself!

I got a robe similar to this one from a friend who's wedding I was recently in and I love to put it on when I'm getting ready for a night out, or if I just want to lounge around the house. (I'm a huge supporter of #nopants, so robes are amazing!) I will never say no to gummy bears, ESPECIALLY if they are infused with champagne... say what? These gummy bears are the easiest way to a girl's heart. This bracelet I've talked about many times before - I have it in silver but really want it in gold as well. I love a pop of color and this pretty pink purse is perfect for spring! I got to pick this watch out when I won a giveaway with my Style Collective peeps, and I love it - rose gold hardware, white face and light grey wristband that can be swapped out for other awesome colors - not mad at it. These shoes... there are no words. If I don't own these by summertime I'm going to be very disappointed. They're the perfect shade of pink and I'm obsessed with the gold heel. Like, OBSESSED. I like to think that spring is near, but let's be honest - it's not. The groundhog saw his shadow so we have a good six long weeks left of this dreaded winter. These Ugg boots are adorable, I love how the fur detail gives the classic Ugg boot a little twist. If you're looking for something a little sexy, this lace bodysuit is so cute, it comes in peach and black and has the prettiest lace details. And these wine glasses are my fave - I use them all the time. Ok, not all the time, just like, Thursday and Friday... maybe Wednesday too. And occasionally Saturday. And maybe during The Bachelor on Monday?

Hope you guys like this gift guide! You can find a Galentine's Day look here and a cute Valentine's Day look here! Thanks for reading! XO

casual look // sweater + quilted bootie

It has been a crazy busy past couple of weeks for me and I know I just went to Miami this month but I'm going to say it anyway - I am so ready for vacation. I've been looking forward to this upcoming trip for a while. While the weather has been unseasonably warm and I love it, I haven't been able to enjoy it much. So this particular night I asked the hubs to take off work early and take me out for Mexican food and cervesas... and he did! I know we are transitioning into spring, but with the leaves blowing around and all the bare branches it feels like fall to me, so sweater and booties it is.

how to // host a successful galentine's day party

I was watching Parks and Recreation when I was introduced to the idea of Galentine's Day and I was all like, where has this been all my life?! What is Galentine's Day, you ask? In the words of Leslie Knope, "Oh, it's only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home and just kick it breakfast style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It's like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus, frittatas!"

first of the month faves // february

Welcome to the second month of 2016! I don't know about you, but January flew by for me. Shocking, because I had absolutely nothing going on. Besides going to work, I think I left the house four times total... It's too cold outside! February will be a different story though. In just two days I'm heading to Miami to celebrate one of my best friend's bachelorette party... I'm so looking forward to some fun in the (warm) sun! Without further ado... Here's February's first of the month faves!
