Happy Valentines Day loves! Today is seriously one of my favorite holidays! I am obsessed with pink and red, heart prints, lipstick, flowers... the whole shebang... So this day really encompasses all of my favorite things. This would be a great look if you are planning to go all out for the holiday. For a fancy dinner, this is your ticket to perfection.

I fell in love with the fullness of this skirt from the minute I laid eyes on it! It looks so incredibly regal. I bet you would never guess it is $25!!! Awesome buy in my book. I also love that I have so many options to pair it with. The fullness does make it a little too fancy for everyday general wear... it might get in the way. For a fun piece to have as back up for special events though... this gem is just right.

I went on the hunt for something heart print and realized I actually had this in my closet already! I've only worn it a handful of times and didn't want to spend money on something I didn't really need right now, so I made it work. I love the option I have linked above though!

I threw on some glitter heeled sandals to add a little sparkle. I love mixing gold and silver and thought these really pulled the look together. Lastly I can't go without mentioning my new clutch from Benevolent Jewels. I am obsessed with monograms in the first place, but with mine changing soon I keep snatching things up as I find them to bulk up my collection. (Plus, I'm just so excited about the wedding I can't contain myself!)

I hope you have a wonderful day filled with love and conversation hearts!

Thank you for reading!!!

Going Green

This skirt has stolen my heart. When I received a recent mailer from H&M I saw it featured and just had to have it. A black midi skirt with pockets of good quality under a $50 price point is nearly impossible... but this one beats the odds. The structure is impeccable and it really moves with you. I can't wait to keep styling it throughout spring and summer. The possibilities are endless.

I keep throwing colors on to trick my mind into thinking it isn't freezing outside. Kelly green is the epitome of spring... it's coming soon... that's what I keep telling myself...
