Valentine’s Day: Outfit & Gift Ideas

Hey friends! Happy almost February! January was a bit long, but we made it and now it’s time to think about what you are wearing for your Galentines or Valentine’s celebration. I personally LOVE Valentine’s day, not because I have a sweet hubby (although he is amazing + I am v lucky), but more so because in general I think it’s a day to spread love. To remind those around you how much they mean to you. To simply tell someone, “hey, I appreciate you + am glad you are in my life”. Life is incredibly too fragile, too short, too unpredictable to not.

Sappy post over, let’s get to some fun outfit ideas and small gift ideas! I shared this fun red + pink wrap dress on Instagram recently and it would a FAB option. The fit is so girly with cute puff sleeve! And these neutral heels are a new under $100 find I am currently loving. This would also be a fun Spring wedding option!

If brights are not your thing, this neutral tone long sleeve dress would be fun! It’s well priced and the fit is super comfy. I love the cute ruffle detailing too! I paired it with a neutral heel, but if you wanted to snazzy it up for Valentines, you could do a bright pink heel.

Here are a ton more ideas. From casual heart adorned sweatshirts to a simple red bodysuit- there is an outfit option in here for everyone. Plus I included lots of little gift ideas too. I love gifting my mom and sister a little something!

Valentines Day Outfit and Gifts

Whatever your holiday might include, I just hope its fun! Even if it’s a night in on the couch watching movies, I hope you enjoy. Colby and I actually started dating on Valentines day, so we will be out and about cheers-ing to that and to all the lovey things for sure!

Happy Shopping!

New Year’s Eve Outfit Ideas

New Year’s Eve is less than two away, do you know what you are wearing? Well I am pretty sure if you follow me and read this blog, you know my sequin loving self  has some ideas for you! I love my glam, glitz and sparkle year round, but NYE is the official day when it’s 110% acceptable and expected.

One of my top picks for the night is this amazing off the shoulder Rotate dress. It’s the perfect mix of comfy, festive and just fun. I love the easy fit, the long sleeves and the mega sparkle! I paired it with a simple silver heel and these new, cool earrings (really into them!) You could throw a little faux fur on to keep warm or a pair of tights too.

Also, here is a round up of my most recent NYE appropriate looks from Instagram. Everything from a fabulous sequin bodysuit to a rainbow sparkle dress to a simple, any of these looks would work. I love the peplum sequin top and distressed denim for a more casual NYE!

Bloomingdales is always my first stop as they have everything you need, for everyone on your list. Plus I feel like they carry different pieces from all my go-to brands.

Its the epitome of party fab).

My Holiday Party Fashion Picks

Holiday season is upon us and I could not be more excited! If you know me, you know I LOVE this time of year and I also LOVE dressing up. I basically use this time of year as an excuse to kick up my already extra-ness!

In the past few weeks, I have starting posting some holiday party ready looks on my Instagram & I spent some time last night shopping around for more so I wanted to share those finds with you guys. First, let’s discuss this strong shoulder ALC dress I posted today! It’s velvet, metallic adorned and is legit so comfy! If it’s super cold where you live, you could throw on a fun black tight and some boots or a pump to make it more weather friendly. To me, this dress just screams festive night out!

Now onto this collage of my most recent fanciness on Insta. I LOVE me some sparkle and this is the best time of year to wear it all! My best seller last week was the rainbow sparkle wrap dress I wore in Vegas. I highly recommend that mini! It’s really comfy, not itchy (as some sequin pieces can be) and just FUN. Perf for NYE! I won’t discuss each look since that’s boring, but I do want to mention the super fun peplum sequin top I wore with jeans for date night a few weeks ago. It’s a great option for those who want to be holiday-ish but aren’t super girly or want to be casual. Its well priced ($105) and runs true to size.

Some Of My Recent Party Ready Looks

And last, now onto allllllll my other finds! If I could, I would buy all of these. I wish I was kidding, but nothing makes me happier than something sparkly or festive! I shared some accessories too.

Happy shopping and please email me if you have any questions or need styling advice!

My Favorite Teddy Coats Of The Season

Friends! Cooler temps have finally arrived and that has me reaching for all the cozies. Just like last year, teddy coats are having a moment and I am here for it! I had a few last year I loved, but I have scooped up so new ones this year that are way fun too so wanted to share those with you guys as well as some others I am currently eyeing.

To me, a teddy coat needs to be soft, comfy and cozy while also being cute! Is that too much to ask? I think not. Here are my current top 5.

Favorite Teddy Coats Of The Season

A quick run down of way I am loving each of these. Starting with the top two since they are the same! This one is oversized, super duper cozy and great for layering. I will be wearing it to walk Bigs in the morning and at night for sure! I loved it so much, I got both colors. Plus the price is so good (quality is fab too!)

Second (bottom left) is my favorite from last season. SO excited it back in stock as the collar, cropped fit and buttons make it so cute. I am wearing more normal size in it and just love that its a more fitted option.

Third (middle) is similar to that one, but I love that it has pockets, its a fresh white/cream color and the cognac brown detailing on it makes it way unique and just really cute. Its more of a bomber fit really, which I think is so fun.

Last is my newest obsession! I ADORE this coat. The color is divine, the longer fit is great and also its totally oversized (wearing XS) making it great for layering. You could definitely fit a snuggly sweater under this and not be squeezed in (my pet peeve!)

Now here are some I eyeing. I mean, can I have them all?!

Teddy Coats I Am Eyeing

Be sure to check out my Instagram stories today because I am showing my top five favorites in a quick try on.

Have a cozy day!! xo, Caro
