Happy Valentine's Day, friends! I couldn’t help but pull together a very typical “month of love” look with pink and rose gold. This combo is pretty much what I wish I would wear every single day. It just feels so girly! A comfy cotton tee paired with jeans and the coziest sweater will put anyone in a good mood. Toss on booties and a stunning crossbody bag and you’re ready to go out with friends for brunch or head home for the weekend. Bonus points if you can wear this to work… casual Friday anyone?

Love Always,

{valentine's day | bar cart}

I have loved my bar cart since the day I finally purchased it. Before I moved into my studio apartment I constantly thought about buying one but never had the perfect spot for it. Now I’m constantly changing it up, rearranging, and decorating it for any season Target can supply $1 items for ;)

This Valentine’s Day I knew I wanted to deck it with everything pink! I live alone so why not make my little space as girly as I possibly can?! First up was the pink garland – it was a silly purchase but I already have an idea on how I can reuse it (birthdays, bachelorettes, etc).

I then bought some adorable pink glasses, new paper straws, cocktail napkins, and reused the “cheer” stirrers from my Christmas décor! I found almost everything in the holiday section at the front of Target - it's my favorite place to stop by first because everything is $1-$5!

I found a bottle of “Love Noir” wine and mixed it in with my Winc wine purchases.  A cute cliché nod to the holiday don’t ya think?

I always have wine stoppers on hand and this new one from Hudson & Crane reminded me of Cupid’s bow and arrows. I stash all of my wine stoppers (and airplane bottles) in the mercury jar on the top - I kept this one out to act as a weight for the cocktail napkins.

To add the finishing touch I bought Hershy’s Hugs! I always have chocolate around my house… it just adds a festive touch and I like being able to grab a sweet bite on my way out the door. Plus, Valentine’s Day is all about the chocolate! I added more roses and chocolates on my coffee table too.

I can’t believe I forgot to share these photos that I took a couple of months ago because the trees are stunning and I’m obsessed with this look. It’s the perfect mixture of sass and comfort in my mind! A cozy mock turtleneck paired with a leather skirt? Perfection. For those gals who are scared of wearing a leather mini – pair it with suede over the knee boots so you don’t have as much leg showing. That will help you feel covered up while still rocking some fun leather. Plus, this look was surprisingly warm! I have a feeling this outfit will be brought out for NYFW this weekend (I mean I did wear these boots for four days straight last year haha).

Love Always,

Psst.. this board is shoppable! Just click the item you want to shop!

Valentine’s Day is next week and I am just so excited!! I always love an excuse to turn a simple night into something fun. Who doesn’t love love? I’m such a sucker for anything romantic and cheesy (fun fact I was labeled class romantic in high school… I’m hopeless haha). Whether you’re celebrating with your gals or a significant other it’s the perfect reason to treat someone you care about or treat yourself! I’ve been flagging all of my favorite pink things since January… so shop for yourself or the other loves of your life :)

Does anyone have fun Valentine’s Day plans? Do you like to go out or stay in? Do you make a big deal out of it or keep it simple? I personally like to keep it sweet and simple – dinner at home with a nice bottle of wine always makes me a happy camper. And flowers…. Hello Trader Joe’s $5 bouquets hehe.

Love Always,

{BoConcept Georgetown}

It's no secret that I'm obsessed with home decor and design. My day job is at an architecture firm in downtown DC! One of my favorite things to do during lunch or after work is to walk down M St in Georgetown and window shop. I always love to pop in the furniture stores to gather some inspiration for work and for my own apartment (I'm constantly changing things around - coffee table layout, bookshelf styling, pillows, bedding, you get the idea....)

BoConcept invited me in to see their store after their new redesign and I was blown away! I came out with so many ideas and a hankering for some new light fixtures. If only my building would let me install a pendant!!

If you're in the Georgetown area you have to go and check out their new store. All of the pillows and little bowls right at the front of the store are perfect to add a quick pick-up to a space that needs something fresh! They also offer interior design services if you're in the market for a full-on redesign (perfect if you're completely starting over and don't even have a vase for flowers).

I love how they weren't afraid to mix different metals - each little accessory reminded me of a jewel. Pops of color and rich fabrics and textiles were everywhere.

BoConcept is a Danish furniture and design store. Their concept is simple - surround yourself with things that you like, what's important to you, and whatever makes it easier to live the life you love. They're passionate about making customized furniture for the urban-minded home owner!

I also found the PERFECT coffee table for anyone living in a small studio!!! I was so excited about this convertible table that I had to make a gif to show y'all how it works! Isn't it cool?? It goes from a coffee table to a dining room table in less than a minute!

They exemplify "thinking better" - always trying to find the best solution for a space. The three floors of the showroom showed off multiple ideas: a sofa for sitting up or lounging, a recliner chair that appears modern, or a sleeper sofa without the bulk.

They're having a magical grand opening party next week so be sure to RSVP - they told me about some of the entertainment and it truly is going to be pure magic ;)

Love Always,
