Friday, I'm In Love: Last of Winter

Happy Friday! Another fail this week of not posting, but work has sure been busy. I cannot believe this is the last weekend of February, and that spring is basically here. I plan on spending the last weekend of "winter" cozied up with lots of vino, an amazing candle {obsessed with Bijou candles, check out here}, and making a heavy, meat-centric meal {trying this Food52 recipe, I figured it was my last chance to make something heavy with the warm weather creeping in}. Have a great weekend! 

Valentine's Day Outfit Inspiration: Out + In

Happy Valentine's Day! Whether it's going out or staying in, I have some outfit inspo that I think is pretty great for Valentine's Day. A date night out is always a great excuse for a LBD, fun geels, and a great clutch, but this year we are doing date night at home. A pretty top + necklace, leggings, and a delish home cooked meal {we're excited to try out this Food & Wine recipe} is my go-to this year. A great candle {burning this Bijou candle this week}, and a romantic movie we can agree upon makes for a pretty perfect Valentine's Day in our home :)

Last Minute Valentine's Gift Guide

Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and although it's sort of last minute, I have a few ideas for a great gift! Of course, chocolate and/or diamonds are always acceptable, but I love the idea of a candle {duh}, fun leggings, or badass feminist artwork {my fave}. Any one of these gifts would make my V-Day:

Friday, I'm In Love: Weekend Getaway

 Happy Friday! After being homebodies thus far in 2017, we are excited to get out of town in Hilton Head for the weekend to see family. Looking forward to wine, seafood, and the smell of salt water in the air. Cheers!

Mani Monday

 Happy Monday! I've really been alternating between my 2 favorite Deborah Lippmann polishes this month, and one of them is "Stormy Weather." I love dark nail polish, and this one is so chic without being too dark. My BaubleBar {sign up here} bracelet has also been a staple this month, along with celebrating strong, inspiring women who make this country great. With all of the hatred and ignorance being spewed, it's nice to remember her eloquent words: when they go low, we go high :)

Date Night at Home

We've been doing a pretty good job this month of staying in, and eating out less. Although sometimes it's nice to go out for dinner or brunch, I have really embraced the concept of "date night at home." It's something I really look forward to almost every Friday, and I've figured out a few key items to making date night at home a success. These items include great ambiance {candles, great home decor that makes me happy, music}, using our new kitchenware, cookware, and dining/entertaining items, and a comfy yet chic sweater..that goes perfectly with leggings {or sweatpants..}, and a fun, new recipe. Below are these items that would make an ideal date night at home, I already can't wait for this Friday!
