What To Wear On Valentines's Day

Hi lovelies,

Can you believe it's Valentine's Day this week?! How has that come round so fast.. 

Love it or hate it, you can't escape the stigma that comes with this holiday. I actually love Valentine's Day. Any excuse to wear pink & I'm all for it. I actually love coming up with ideas & ways to spoil my friends & family. As a few of them read my blog (yes, I'm talking about you) I'm not going to write on here what I've been up to, but instead I'm going to show you a few outfits I've picked out no matter what your plans are this week.

Firstly, nothing beats a cosy night in, watching trashy tv. 

I know I for one will be cosied up with James, watching Vampire Diaries & eating Chinese. There's nothing worse than being uncomfortable when eating huge amounts of food.. so, let's welcome first of all; the tracksuits.

Red Tracksuit / Red '1990' Tracksuit / Slogan Tracksuit / Floral Embroided Trainers / Drawstring Rucksack / Studded Earrings

They are so comfy, yet there's something so sassy about them. These are my three favs I picked out from BooHoo & I've tried to either select red or pink items for this post, just to stick to the 'Valentines' theme, but also because I just adore wearing both these colours!

If you're running low on wine or can't resist another chocolate cheesecake, you'll need these cute trainers to run to the shops in! I love the embroidery on the side & for £18, they are a complete bargain. I also couldn't resist adding in this rucksack, perfect for shoving your phone & money in while you dash out.

Ok, something a bit more fancy now. Say if you were going out for a lunch or afternoon tea, these two dresses are absolutely perfect.

Tea Dress / Floral Shirt Dress / Peeptoe Sock Boots / Embroided Velvet Boots / Nude Tote Bag / Layered Necklace

I love the flared sleeves of the red dress, paired with these cute heeled peeptoe boots. There's something so feminine, yet edgy about this look. The second dress just called out to me & the fact it comes in pink & cream, just makes me so happy. I really can't decide which one I like better.. might just have to order them both..

Oh & how cute are these embroided boots.. I mean.. seriously.. they currently are less than half price, so I couldn't exactly say no. Teamed with this nude tote bag, it's the perfect way to look put together, without too much effort.

& finally, the glam, evening look.

Sequin Maxi Dress / Cold-Shoulder Midi Dress / Strappy Heels / Platform Heels / Suede Clutch Bag / Hoop Earrings

How beautiful is this maxi dress? I think it has to be my favourite item of this post. It's so incredibly beautiful & looks so elegant. I would love to have an occasion to wear this to.. (James.. hint hint) paired with this suede clutch bag & hoop earrings, definitely on to a winner. I'm also a massive fan of black heels with pastel colours. I don't know what it is about the look overall, but I just think it brings it all together. Add a bit of embroidery to the heel & your definitely onto a winner.

What are your plans for Valentine's Day? I hope you have an amazing day whatever you decide to do. Oh & let me know if you pick up any of these items! I'd love to see how you style them.

Inspirational Blogs

Morning lovelies!

 

I wanted to blog about something different today. Life is so hectic at the moment, it's a rare moment for me to actually blog, let alone sit & read all of your wonderful words as well. Which makes me sad, because you ladies are who inspire me the most. Anyway, I wanted to include a few posts that I've read this week that have made me smile.

 

Katy @ Little Winter - We liked: This weeks favourites

Katy posts about the most exciting adventures, beautiful outfits & delicious food. This recent post was a catch up of all her favourites from this week & you should have seen my face light up when I saw her new chalk board. I need this in my life. I love being organised, but actually getting organised is a whole other ball game. Dinner time is especially difficult for me as I work half the week till 6pm & the other half till 8.30pm. Planning ahead week by week would be so useful for me!

 

Jennie @ Sailboat - You

This post had me nodding the whole way through. It's so simple but effective & I know a lot of people can relate to it.

 

Megan @ Love M - It's all about the small changes | Weight loss diary part 1

I've recently discovered Megan & her blog & as someone who isn't over weight, but isn't happy with their current weight (I could definitely do with swapping that occasional Mars Bar with an apple!) her blog drew me in. I'm excited to see more of her weight loss posts for inspiration!

 

Abi @ My World My View - Autumn Leaves

I'm really starting to feel Autumnal now & Abi's beautiful pictures of her walk the other day made me feel so cosy inside. Check out her blog, it's adorable!

 

Cat @ What Cat Says - What Cat wore - Lilac check

This gorgeous girl always has the most beautiful style, but this lilac shirt caught my eye this week! The way she's styled it is perfect - total inspiration for getting the last use out of my lilac items before they get shoved to the back of the wardrobe till next Spring!
