Valentine's Day Inspo

Happy Valentine’s Week Friends!

I wanted to share an easy Valentine’s look as most of us are still staying in and keeping things casual for Valentine’s Day! I’m loving all these pieces from LC Lauren Conrad for Kohls these pieces are perfect for the holiday and the heart bag is extra fun touch!

Y’all know what I think about LC’s denim, it’s the best and love that it’s affordable and comes in tons of colors and styles! This top is perfect for the office or going out and the sweater comes in a few different color combos and is super comfortable and perfect for layering if you live in cooler climates.

You can find all these pieces over at Kohl’s and pick up your Valentine’s Day look!

Valentine's Plans- LC Lauren Conrad Look

Happy Wednesday babes!

With Valentine’s Day days away i wanted to share another fun look from LC Lauren Conrad with y’all in case you were looking for something to wear still!

I love that the dress and shoes can really be worn all through spring and summer. The flats are great for everyday and the dress is super light weight and great for the hotter months. The heart bag is really what makes this whole look perfect for Valentine’s Day! It also carries the perfect amount of stuff and is just a perfect touch!

Plans wise Travis and I have never been huge Valentine’s people. Just having each other has always been enough. We have cooked dinner in, gone out to eat, but we don’t do anything super grandiose. We will be going to the Melting Pot this year for dinner and just celebrating 2 weeks of marriage, just enjoying each other!

I also love a good Galentine’s Day event! Mer and I have fun plans including pizza and cheesy movies and all the candy! Girls no matter if you have a man in your life or not you can always celebrate with you girls!

What do you all like to do for Valentine’s Day? Let me know!

Pastel Valentine's Look

Happy Friday babes!

I’m finally getting back to y’all as wedding weekend has already come and gone in a flash and I have some fun Valentine’s Day looks for you! Everything is LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s and all these pieces are perfect for whatever V-Day plans you might have!

I love this super flirty look! Y’all know I love a graphic t-shirt and this one with the fun printed skirt and fuzzy sweater is so fun and playful! Great for Galentine’s or a shopping trip! The flats keep it simple and practical and paired with this fun heart handle bag is perfection! Definitely pieces that can all be worn in several ways which is key when buying things for my closet!

What is your favorite outfit for Valentine’s ?

L-O-V-E & Valentines

Happy almost Valentine’s Day!

This is another super fun and Valentine’s inspired look for y’all! I grabbed this LOVE sweater from Old Navy during Christmas time funny enough and saved it for this month because it was a perfect fit! I paired it with my favorite high waisted shorts from Loft, pink Pumas from TJ Maxx and pink Michael Kors crossbody! I love a great sporty look and this one is so fun and kind of reminds me of old school jock sweaters, does anyone else love the movie Grease?! Anyway this is a great look if you are doing something casual tomorrow or maybe going shopping or brunch this weekend!

Travis and I have never been huge on the holiday, we don’t need a holiday to show how much we love each other but that’s just us. We actually have never had a good Valentine’s Day anyways and there is to much pressure on this holiday as it is. This year we are keeping it super low key, going out to our favorite BBQ spot and not worrying about pre-fixed menus, again that’s just us, to each his own.

To be honest I just love the pink and red and all the half off candy the day after Valentine’s Day, anyone else? Probably the best park about Valentine’s Day especially when I was younger and single was running to Target the day after Valentine’s and buying myself flowers and chocolate, buying myself a gift! LOL! It’s so important to love yourself first! Self love is key, don’t let a holiday change your mind or think that you have to be with someone, just saying.

Anyways enough of my rambling about this holiday! We are headed home this weekend for a special collaboration as well as tons of wedding planning! I will be taking you all along on IG and sharing more here on the blog when we get back! For now let me know what you have planned for tomorrow, or what outfit you’ll be sporting!

Give Me All The Hearts

Happy Wednesday Lovelies!

Sorry for the hiatus in January, but I’m back and so excited to share my first Valentine’s look with y’all! This is probably one of my favorite looks to date! You all know I love a good graphic t-shirt and this conversation heart one from Nordstrom is super soft and comfy! I paired it with other pieces I already had in my closet. The skirt is from Loft, I actually showed you a different way to wear it last Valentine’s Day along with velvet Nine West pumps and a fun pink Michael Kors bag! This look is just so fun and festive without being serious and could be great for spring too! Again everything you see was on sale!

It’s becoming more important to me to purchase key pieces to change a look or that I can already wear with other pieces I have in my closet! This T-shirt I believe was $34 but the rest of the look I already had, but it changed the look enough that I had a whole different outfit! Just like everyone else I love a great deal and changing up my closet!

What is your go to Valentine’s Day look? Do you like more casual or are you more of a full glam kind of girl? Let me know in the comments!!

Valentine's Day Sweets

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! We all know Valentine's Day is about chocolates and flowers but I'm talking sugar cookies and baking in this post! I love showing my love and appreciation for people through cooking and baking for them. Baking was a huge part of my childhood and has continued into adult life. Some of my best memories growing up are helping my mom bake cookies and treats for any and every holiday. My mom is the most talented women especially when it comes to her baking and creative abilities, she's amazing! So for Valentine's Day I wanted to make one of the recipes that reminded me of my childhood, a classic sugar cookie and royal icing.  I recently took a poll on IG asking if y'all were interested in seeing the  sugar cookie recipe and y'all said yes, so here it is! 

 

Sugar Cookie Dough:

1 1/2 cups butter, soft not melted

3/4 cup sugar

3 1/3 cups flour

1 tsp vanilla

1 to 3 tsp. milk

Mix and chill for at least 2 hrs. if not longer

Roll on floured surface

Bake at 325 for 15 min,

 

Royal Icing:

Use the Wilton recipe that includes meringue powder

 

I hope you all enjoy this post and if you make the cookies please share and let me know! :) Hope y'all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
