Oh Valentine’s day, how I love thee. I know so many people complain that V-day is simply a hallmark holiday but I don’t care. I love it! I don’t know if it has to do with my love of love, sappy movies, romance, chocolate, paper goodness (i.e. valentine’s) or just the color pink! But I think it’s a great holiday to tell the one’s you love just how much they mean to you. I will definitely miss being a teacher on this holiday, because Valentine’s parties are so much fun & it’s so sweet all the love your kiddos show you (including the ridiculous amount of chocolate you receive)! This gift guide focuses on the color pink. If you haven’t figured it out already pink is my favorite color. I like all shades of pink but light blush pink is my absolute fav. Not to mention pink is a great color to transition into spring! I would be so happy to receive any of these gorgeous pink gifts and think they would be great for any special lady in your life, even if you just want to treat yourself! 🙂

I especially love the Kate Spade watch (hint hint honey!)

The MAC lipstick in shade creme cup is my favorite babydoll pink lipcolor. And I really need a pair of pink pumps in my life! I can’t believe I don’t have a pair yet, those one’s are the perfect price & color.

What is your favorite part about Valentine’s day?

For the love of leopard

I love leopard. I have ever since I was like 9. I had this leopard fur winter coat I was obsessed with. My mom thought it was tacky but let me buy it anyway because it made me happy. What a nice mama. Well now leopard is back on trend and bigger than ever! I am very picky with my leopard print, it has to be a certain color combo to work for me. Besides the classic brown, tan and black print I also like it in gray. Neon leopard print however is not for me. Here are some of my absolute favorite leopard pieces. Some more understated than others. But all are considered a neutral in my book.

pumps | sweater | scarf | oxford flats | beanie | clutch | belt

I chose mostly accessories because that’s my favorite way to style leopard. I do have a leopard cardigan and a couple leopard tops but find when I wear them I prefer the rest of my outfit to be completely neutral. Basically lots of black. But when wearing a little pop of leopard here and there it’s fun to mix and match patterns. One of my favorite combos with leopard is stripes! It also looks great with plaid and lace!

lips here in color faint for fuchsia (obsessed with these especially because my lips are dry in the winter!), scarf here, nursing top here

What is your favorite way to wear leopard? Or are you over the trend? Have a happy hump day!
