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 :)

Happy September! I feel like this month is the buffer month in between October/Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. It still feels like summer, but I usually spend all month getting excited for fall to officially be here, and all of the holidays to look forward to in the coming months. I also get the sense I will be spending September obsessing over food blogs {new obsession, it's a problem} like Joy the Baker and this recipe on Jojotastic. Below are a few items below I am also obsessing over, like good quality home goods, skin care products, and minimalist fashion. Cheers to September!

It is no secret that I love all things blush and neutral, but after seeing a recent post by Cheetah Is The New Black I love the idea of incorporating dark elements for a more gothic look.

I am getting SO excited about fall {and October!} arriving, but I am staying true to my rule about no pumpkin-flavored anything or decor. That being said, it has cooled down here and it is officially the time of year for knit blankets, soup for dinner {most nights}, darker lipstick and nail polish, and early fall clothes {like longer skirts and vests!}. These are my early fall necessities below:

It also makes me want to wear white leather accessories that aren't "allowed" after this weekend {yeah, right! I love wearing white all year round}. Below are some gorgeous white accessories, along with some summer-appropriate lipstick and nail polish - I think I need to snag this dress too, it's on major sale!

I love rompers and jumpsuits, and all of the different ways they can be styled. I know they are more popular in the summer, but I love the idea of wearing a great romper {like below} in the fall paired with a great blazer or leather jacket. I think I might grab a couple on sale for the end of summer, and then incorporate them into my fall wardrobe...starting with this one!

I always mention on this blog how I love white + gold {here and here}, but white and pink is up there on my favorites, as well.

Last summer, I conquered my fear of jumpsuits and purchased one from the Peter Som x Kohl's collaboration; I love their look {reminds me of Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface!}, but I didn't really have the confidence to wear one.
