February Favorites

Here are some of my favorite things from the month of February:
Essie Nail Polish in Going Over Board: A unique dark shade a teal. It looks great alone or with a glittery topcoat. 
Urban Outfitters Mirrored Flats: I've been giving more attention to ballet flats as spring approaches. I'm sick of all of my boots and these are more exciting than your basic black flats. They look great with black tights but will look cute with jeans or shorts as well. 
Yankee Candle in Beach Party: I'm usually not interesting in candles. I can't stand the scent of most of them and they can be a bit overpriced. I happened to see this one in Target recently and the name drew me in. It smells like one of my favorite perfumes, Beach by Bobbi Brown. It's a mix of salt and sunscreen and I love it. 
Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee: Everyone knows about these lip butters and they have been reviewed constantly. I finally decided to try one for myself. They are super moisturizing and impart a subtle sheen. These really lean towards lipstick rather than tinted lip balm and I love that. In short they are a very moisturizing lipstick. This shade is a great nude that is more brown than pink. 
Downton Abbey: I finally decided to start watching this show from the very beginning after watching a few episodes here and there and it's awesome (obviously, everyone but me already knew this).
J.Crew School Boy Blazer: I have a few of these and have been wearing them for years. They are great quality and come in a variety of colors and fabrics. I've been reaching for them a lot lately as they can really dress up a basic out. Jeans, tee, flats and a blazer...easy chic!

Hold Tight by Dave Dee Dozy Mick and Titch: I just rediscovered this song again after being obsessed with it a few years ago.

Happy Valentines Day

Hello all! I hope you are having a splendid valentine's day. This year my valentine and I decided to forgo all the craziness and over the top gestures in leu of saving. We instead went out to run some errands and grabbed a quick lunch. But just because we decided on a low key, casual day doesn't mean that I didn't want to jazz up just a bit, so here's a little outfit of the vday! 


Hat: Presence, Coat: Diane von Furstenberg, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Revlon Color Burst Lipstick in True Red: The perfect shade of red. I brightens up your face and even makes you teeth look whiter. This is my go to shade when I want a little pizazz!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Bag: This was a valentine gift from my boyfriend a few years ago. It's one of those bags that only holds a credit card, ID and some lipgloss but I love it.  This isn't however my favorite valentine gift I've ever received...This little guy is!
Harry "Winston" Churchill

Now here's a little Valentine's Day jam for you.
