Cute Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas

Sequin Dress: Olivia Culpo x Express
Booties: Sam Edelman (Similar)
Handbag: Saint Laurent / Necklace: Violet & Brooks

Valentine’s Day is literally right around the corner (one week from today to be exact!). Whether you’re heading out for a romantic dinner with your significant other or having a night with your girlfriends it’s always a fun excuse to get all dolled up!

 I thought this sequin dress from the new Olivia Culpo collection that just launched in Express stores would be the perfect dress for Valentine’s Day. I love everything about this dress - from the length to the red sparkles to the beautiful ribbon tie waist. And of course, the hot magenta color. The one thing that I love about the new collection is that it includes a great range of different styles - from casual to edgy to dressed up. It honestly could not have come at a more perfect time.

Casual Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas

Tie-Front Blouse: Anthropologie / Jeans: AG Jeans
Handbag: Chanel / Heels: Levity (Similar)

We are just about through the month of January and that means February is literally right around the corner! The next major holiday coming up is Valentine’s Day on February 14th. Valentine’s Day to me is to celebrate love and affection -and that can be any sort of love (not only romantic). Last year the hubby surprised me with dinner at Zahav which is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The owner/chef Michael Solomonov was actually there that night and he came over to our table to chat with us! And of course he signed his Zahav cookbook for me. It was so memorable and special.

Last week I polled everyone on my Instagram to see what sort of content you wanted to see. It was pretty much a 50/50 split on ideas on styling blouses and dresses for Valentine’s Day. This outfit is casual yet chic and perfect for a casual Valentine’s Day outing! I just love the raspberry color of this blouse and how it drapes so perfectly. The color is a little unexpected and isn’t the traditional red/pink color which is what I love so much about it. In order to keep things casual I paired the blouse with skinny black jeans, pumps and my favorite Chanel bag.

The Perfect Sweater Dress for Winter

Sweater Dress: Express / OTK Boots: Sam Edelman (Similar)
Handbag: Saint Laurent / Necklace: Violet and Brooks (Similar)

Alright ladies, who else during the winter time gets into a rut wearing the same thing over and over again? Jacket, sweater, scarf and boots and then repeating the same thing over and over. It’s so easy to get comfortable in your winter wardrobe but with the new year it’s the perfect timing to switch things up! Today I am sharing one of my favorite winter looks - the mini sweater dress which is perfect for winter.

This sweater dress is one of the most warm and coziest sweater dresses EVER! It’s currently 40% off and comes in five different colors! The slouchy fit is a perfect match for over the knee boots. When it comes to finding a perfect sweater dress I love a little space to move around. This one is honestly so cozy and one of my favorites for the season.

Oversized Off-The-Shoulder Sweater

OTS Sweater: H&M / Jeans: JCrew (On sale!)
Handbag: Saint Laurent / Sunglasses: Sperry (Similar)
Initial Necklaces: Violet & Brooks (Similar)
Heels: Sam Edelman

It’s no secret that I love anything off-the-shoulder. I was super excited when I found this OTS sweater comes in four colors - beige, gray, red and black AND is under $25! I just love how comfortable and cozy this sweater is. I’m definitely planning on wearing it through these chilly winter months!

On another note, this week has been nothing less of exhausting! I work full-time as in Accountant and the month of January is pretty brutal for me. I am almost through with my first full week of the month and I am already counting down the days until my busy season is over! One resolution that I made to myself in 2019 was to make time for my blog and plan my schedule accordingly! Hopefully I should be able to roll out some fun and fresh content for you all!

How to Wear a Blazer With Jeans

Blazer: Old (Similar) / Cami: Express / Jeans: JCrew
Heels: Levity (Similar) / Handbag: Saint Laurent
Necklace: Violet & Brooks (c/o)

Hello 2019!

I hope all of you had a joyful and happy new year! If you follow me along on Instagram you know that I recently returned from Arizona where we spent about a week with my in-laws. Unfortunately it was actually cooler there than it was here on the east coast so that was a little disappointing! But nevertheless, we still had a great time with our family and friends. We returned last Wednesday and I am ready to take on the new year!

One thing that I have plenty of in my closet but don’t wear enough is the blazer! A blazer is one of those staple pieces in your wardrobe that never go out of style. My favorite way to wear a blazer is paired with jeans. When worn correctly it can complete any outfit and make it look polished!

Here are my tips on how to wear a blazer with jeans.

• It’s About The Fit: The most important thing to look for in a blazer is the fit and sizing. A blazer should be tailored and structured to fit your body like this blazer from Nordstrom.

• Pair with Solid Colors - Blazers, in my opinion, are best done when layering with solid colors. If you are doing a printed blazer such as this tweed blazer then wear a solid shirt underneath. If you are doing a solid blazer such as this black one then you can get away with wearing a fun print. I personally like to keep things monochromatic and simple.

• Wear a Structured Shoe - I like to pair a blazer with pointy heels. Shoes really make an outfit and pull it all together. If you don’t like pointy heels then a pair of chic flats are perfect!

• Accessorize - Add stylish accessories for a chic style. I love layering necklaces and combining them with a simple pair of diamond stud earrings.

• Have Fun With It - Have your personally stand out in your outfit and have fun with it! You can wear a blazer so many different ways! This velvet blazer is so fun and dreamy!
