What to Wear for Valentine’s Day

January 21, 2019

Calling all love birds & galentines! Vday is upon us <3 Whether you need a casual Valentine’s Day outfit, Galentine’s party outfit, or a fancy dress for a Valentine’s Day date night – these three outfits are sure to make you stand out. All are pink themed – my signature color – and use very cute, possibly staple closet items. View my Valentine’s Day outfits roundup below!

Casual Valentine’s Day Outfit

Goodnight Macaroon Sweater // Kate Spade Handbag // Goodnight Macaroon OTK boots

I wore this mauve pink sweater from Goodnight Macaroon for the first time a few months ago and it was a huge hit. It’s the perfect amount of fuzzy – doesn’t shed on you and is still super soft. It does rise a little bit higher than the normal top, so I recommend it with high-waisted pants. This dusty peony Kate Spade handbag is a lifetime keeper. Unique and very cute! This outfit is perfect for a casual day out or casual work attire. Pair it with these ‘Ellis’ Black Classic Over the Knee Suede Leather Boots from Goodnight Macaroon to spice it up!

Galentine’s Party Outfit

J.Crew Factory Faux-Fur Vest // YSL Sunset Medium Bag // Sam Edelman Hal Studded Bootie

Who has some Galentine’s Day celebrations coming up?? This outfit can be a safe choice for a girls night out or night in. The faux-fur vest from J.Crew Factory is literally the softest item of clothing I have ever felt. Not even joking. The mauve pink is perfect for a fun, Galentine’s celebration! Pair any outfit with these studded Sam Edelman booties for a city edge look and YSL Sunset Medium bag for chic inspiration.

Valentine’s Day Date Night Outfit

Badgley Mischka Faille Dress

If I didn’t already love the color pink, my excitement was heightened with this BEAUTIFUL magenta Faille dress from Badgley Mischka. With a loose, almost off-the-shoulder top, this midi is perfect for a romantic date night. Also another closet staple in my book! This Marc by Marc Jacobs silver sequin clutch is no longer for sale, however any silver (preferably sequined) clutch would do to complete the look!

What to Wear for New Years Eve

What to Wear for New Year’s Eve

Wondering what to wear for New Year’s Eve? I’ve wrapped up my three favorite sparkly dress options, plus a few more head-turners, to help you wrap up 2018! Make a fabulous outfit part of your New Year’s resolution 🙂

Rent the Runway Vie La V Dress

I recently had the chance to try out Rent the Runway Unlimited complimentary as part of the InfluenceHer Collective Holiday Essentials Kit I received (seriously the greatest thing ever) and was able to rent this beautiful ombre Vie La V ‘Lauren’ Shift Dress. RTR lets you experiment with your style and never wear the same thing twice – perfect for any dance, party, holiday, or social gathering. They add new styles everyday!

Forever 21 Sequin Mini Bodycon Dress

While sometimes underrated, Forever 21 has stepped up their sparkle game this holiday season. I especially loved this shimmery bodycon dress. The website lists it as Black/Red, however it is a Rose Gold color in person. Currently 50% off!

Express Patterned Sequin Mini Dress

This sequin mini dress from Express has been one of my favorite dress purchases of the year. Super sparkly, very unique, and sure to turn heads. Perfect for New Year’s Eve!

What To Wear To a Holiday Event + The Perfect Holiday Heels

November 16, 2018

Who else is ready for turkey & stuffing?? 🙋🏽‍♀️ I feel like the holidays alway sneak up on us. From checking off your gift list to planning events, everything comes up sooo fast. For me, I always feel like I’m rushing to figure out what to wear for the holidays and never feel completely satisfied with the outcome due to this. This year I have come to the realization that you only need main item in your holiday outfit, whether it’s for a family gathering or work event, to make it a winner. An item that is something sparkly, metallic, and/or velvet to revolve the rest of your holiday outfit around!

This year, I didn’t need to search far to find this magical item to complete my outfit. I came across it by accident when online shopping on ASOS and it immediately spoke to me; the most perfect holiday heels I have ever laid my eyes on. I mean come on, the whole heel is encrusted in RHINESTONES! Plus the satin raspberry color and pop of embellishment in the front is perfectly festive. What’s even better is that these holiday heels are currently on sale for 40% off (walk, don’t run)! I absolutely love their block heel and pointed toe combination.

I think the easiest outfit to put together for any type of holiday event is a long sleeve shirt paired with a skirt and heels. Now this is the base of your outfit. There are many opportunities to spruce it up and customize it to your liking from once you have the base down. Tights, no tights. Jewelry, no jewelry. Pump heels, boot heels. Handbag, clutch. The options are endless! For this specific outfit I am wearing an embellished collared button up from MANGO, black flare skirt (from a few years ago – see similar options linked below), ASOS embellished heels, and sparkly Marc Jacobs clutch (from a few years ago – see similar options below).

Because I love everything sparkly and glam, here are a few more festive clutches that I love. I am biased towards a more holiday glam look, so all of these items are perfect to achieve this style. What holiday events will you be dressing up for this year? Comment them below!
