Valentines Day Ideas

Hello, hello! Valentines Day is just around the corner, and I don't know about you - but I could not be more excited. If you have a hot date this year I found some really cute looks that would be great for a night out on the town with your tall drink of water! And if it's a girls night out anti-V-Day party? These dresses are still cute for that too! Lots of variation between the dresses so hopefully one of them strikes your eye. Also - who cares if it's Valentines Day or not? Treat yourself!!! We all deserve to spoil ourselves a little bit every now and then.

Not the average V-Day dress right? It still totally works though: the lace is very romantic looking, and that pale green is cute enough to pass for any occasion.

Lilly Pulitzer

I definitely love this dress. It's a little more conservative, but it can be worn for this holiday and even all spring and summer long. It's very simple and understated, but it is so versatile and can flatter any body type. Very cute choice. How can you not love Lilly?

Nasty Gal

Big fan of this dress as well. It's a little sexier for Valentines Day, especially if you have a late night reservation or something. It's a pale pink (dusty rose, to be exact) so it can be worn whenever. Looks great paired with a blazer too if you want to transform the look a little bit.

Aqua

I'm a huge fan of this dress. Such a classic pink, it reminds me of Elle Woods! It's flirty, girly, pretty - everything you would want out of a feminine dress. You'll feel like you're sparkling once you get into this little number. It's definitely going to become a favorite if you choose to buy this. You'd be the most perfect little Valentine any guy could dream of!

French Connection

I had mixed feelings about this dress: I sort of love it and then I also sort of am questionable about it. It's a great color - but I've always been a big skeptic of asymmetric dress styles. I think it all depends on your personal taste if the one sleeve would work for you. I do think it's cute though and you should try it on before you buy.

Too adorable. So pink and dainty! I'm shooting myself in the foot over this one, I want to go buy it for myself but it's not on the website anymore! I'm going to have to troll Bloomingdales and Nordstrom to figure out which store it was from - feel free to look yourself too! I will 100% post the link when I find it again. I would lose the perfect dresses link! :(

Suzi Chin

People need to start recognizing purple as a Valentines Day color too! It so is in the V-Day color family. How could it not be? It's just as cute, romantic, and Valentine-y as red and pink, right? I love this dress and how it fits. It's very loose but also very flattering. The purple will make you stand out too if you're daring enough to try it! Highly recommend, friends!

Juicy Couture

Confession: I have a weakness for color block dresses. This dress in particular is more of a daytime dress I'd say, but it can be converted into a night dress as well. It'd look great and totally in spirit if worn on the actual Valentines DAY instead of the night. Plus, the pop of color would keep you going all day long.

Hopefully this got you a little more excited for the big day! There are so many cute choices out there to pick from, so please do explore! Find something you love - splurge! Spoil yourself. It's not just about loving someone else on V-Day, it's about loving yourself as well.

Spring Fever

Hey friends - How killer are these fluctuating temperatures? I tell you, I am struggling between the 45 degree to 62 degree temp changes everyday. Not to mention, it's super hard to dress for the weird winter weather right now - am I right? I know I'm having a hard time balancing chunky sweaters, light weight knits, coat vs. no coat. The weather is totally making life that much more indecisive. I couldn't be more excited for spring time, especially now that we've had a tease of the spring weather. In order to get in the spring mood and satisfy my craving for the warm weather I'm going to share with you guys pops of colors that I'm loving for spring apparel. Agree or disagree? Up to you!

Christian Louboutin Slingbacks

This website apparently has the shoes for cheap(er) than you could ever expect from Louboutin directly. At $158 it seems like a good buy (and they are SO cute and versatile), but I've never ordered from this site before - so use your own discretion before purchasing!! Love the pumps though - they can go with anything and have a spring/summer feel to them.

Lulu's Aqua Combo

How could you not smile when you look down and see these babies on your feet?! The color to me just screams spring. It's aqua, come on! Very cute, very girly, very ready to be worn on your feet in spring. We all need a cute pair of spring heels, so maybe these could be the pair for you!

15 Ways to Tie a Scarf

So this isn't an exact "spring buy," but it's a go-to for your spring buy needs. I mentioned the annoying half winter, half spring weather - and an easy cure for the season is to pair your outfit with a cute scarf. Not a heavy one, just enough to keep you a little warm while also looking cute. While scarves can seem boring when just wrapped around the neck, this link gives you 15 different ways to tie your scarf! The possibilities are endless, so feel free to experiment!

Wanelo Clutch

In case you're headed anywhere for the day, why not bring along a cute (and light) little clutch? It's very simple yet makes a big statement with that awesome pink stripe. It's the perfect combination of simple and girly. That pink pop of color would no doubt brighten your day too. Check out this sites other clutches, they have some really cool stuff.

Sequin Top, White Jeans

Sequin and white jeans together? Yes please! I cannot wait at all to get back into my white jeans. I swear summer has the best fashion options, no matter how hot I get in those jeans. Definitely love the sequin top paired with the white jeans, and this can be taken from day to night very easily throughout our warmer seasons.

Teal Bag

Good for a day trip, for class, whatever. Even a great beach bag too which is what I'll be using mine for! The site has crazy good colors - from neons to tans they have something to please even the most stubborn tastes. Great quality bags too. More people need to know about this site, so get talking!!

Ruche Dress

I'm a huge sucker for this dress. It doesn't look like much on a hanger but I promise, once you get the dress on you'll feel like a million bucks. It looks very cute paired with a belt (I go for a thick leather braided belt with a gold circle buckle), and it can also go well with cowboy boots if you can pull it off, which I'm sure you all can! (Teach me!!) It's a great dress, super comfy, super cute.

Placita Sandals

Any Anthropologie lovers here? Well, even if you're not one - these sandals could change that. While they are a little pricey for sandals ($168) they are so cute, and even come in red too. At first I thought these looked a little too "Barney" for me, but if you were them with a simple outfit and make these your statement piece they couldn't look more chic.

Seersucker Dress

I am in love with this store, and even more in love with this dress. Also comes in navy blue and red. Totally classic prep - if any of you are still out there!!! It's comfy, breezy, cute, classic - and the dress speaks for itself. Pair with some cute sandals or summer wedges and you'll be an instant knockout.

Just realized how much green and teal I put into this blog!! Oops! Guess that's my new color for the spring? Anyways, these are just a few (literally FEW) samples of what's out there for the spring. Spring is the time to get a little color crazy and break out of your winter blues. So go for it! Find what works for you, and I hope I got you a little more excited for the warm temperatures to start up again!!
