Rebecca Minkoff Affair Bag | Black Rockstud Pumps | AMI Clubwear White A-Line Dress

Guess what is just WEEKS away?! VALENTINE’S DAY ♥

Whether you will be hanging with your friends or spending the evening having date night with your boo, one thing is for sure…you will be dressed up for it! Traditionally when I had Galentine’s Day, I rocked some cozy PJs + curled up watching Netflix, but this year Mike + I will be celebrating Valentine’s Day early during our trip to Florida (only a few days away ahhh) so what will I be wearing? A little white dress! Yup – you heard me, I am swapping out the traditional LBD for this little white number. Want to know the best part? Some of my favorite white date night dresses are up to 50% OFF at AMI Clubwear!

I absolutely LOVE this dress! It’s sexy (yes a bit see through hehe :p) yet also sweet with it’s A-Line silhouette…making it the perfect date night go to. Best part? AMI Clubwear has the best date night dresses for under $20…yea no joke, that’s a STEAL!

Here are some of my favorite Little White Dresses from AMI Clubwear:

I kept my date night accessories simple…BLACK. How chic is white + black? I just love it.

Before I got my Chanel, one of my favorite going out bags was this beauty called the ‘Affair’ Bag from Rebecca Minkoff (it comes in a ton of colors too!)

I also paired this look with my Rockstud Pumps (‘look a likes’ – because I can’t invest in the Valentino ones just yet, but if you would like to be my guest hehe they are available at Nordstrom!)

Still need some more date night inspo?

Valentine’s Day Style Guide…

Love Is In The Air…

Well…almost that is hehe Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching + whether you will be celebrating with your boo, hanging with friends or simply giving yourself some much needed self love, a great way to get in a romantic state-of-mind is with a new look featuring the signature colors of Valentine’s Day…RED + PINK ♥

While I love all of the flowers + chocolate, I definitely don’t love the crowds at all the restaurants and bars on Valentine’s Day, so this year Mike + I are celebrating Valentine’s Day early while we are on vacation in Florida BUT I will for sure be treating myself to some of the pieces below to wear for the romantic evening. Even if you don’t have a date for Valentine’s Day, one of the funnest things to do is plan a girls night with your crew – anyone heading to happy hour followed by the new Fifty Shades? I kinda am excited to do that as well haha :p

Date Night Style: Velvet + Leather…

January 9, 2018

Happy Humpday ya’ll!

Guess what is just around the corner…Valentine’s Day!! Normally I am not a lover of the holiday…well except for yummy chocolate + the ability to wear head to toe pink or red 😉 But this year I am excited for the day of love because Mike + I will be in Disney celebrating my birthday, our anniversary and Valentine’s Day! With major milestones like that, it means plenty of date nights so I need to switch things up from the traditional LBD I typically go for (which I love…trust me) :p

The perfect way to switch your date night look up? With some velvet + leather (or faux leather in this case) of course!!

ICYMI – I have been SWOONING over velvet for the past few months. Whether it is a dress, a top or even a skirt or bottoms (even shoes)…velvet has been my go to this season so it makes sense I would extend this to my date night look for Valentine’s Day as well.

I decided to pair this velvet tank with my fav fuzzy jacket that is a great alternative to a blazer or moto jacket (and it gives ya the warm + fuzzies hehe) 🙂

I rounded up some of my favorite velvet tanks below along with two similar fuzzy jackets that you will live in for the rest of the season!

Now I have a confession for ya…I LIVE for these Hue Leatherette Leggings. For years these have been my go-to for date night, girl’s night + beyond during the cooler winter months because sometimes skirts + dresses aren’t doable when a gal is freezing (or may not want to shave let’s be honest haha :p)

These faux leather leggings fit every body type like a glove, suck it all in (because sometimes we need that haha) + accentuates your booty – definitely a favorite with my bf hehe!

Hue is a great brand and I love how their items fit well + are great quality (also relatively affordable compared to Spanx etc).

My bag is Gucci and is a great mini bag to wear out for date night + beyond. It fits your keys, lipgloss, credit card + more, plus with the chain strap you can wear it as a cross body or shoulder bag or even a clutch with tucking the chain in!

These silver gladiator heels are great for year round wear + are pretty comfortable for wherever the night takes you.

P.S. these shoes are under $50!!

What do you think of this date night look? Would you rock it?

Date Night Style for Valentine’s Day…

January 19, 2017

Little Black Dress | Floral Cardigan | Black Ankle Strap Heels | Rebecca Minkoff Affair Bag | Gold Disc Necklace

Nothing says I am ready for date night quite like a LBD ♥ Although I am currently single, one of the only things I enjoy about dating is being able to get dressed up for a nice night out. Whether it is dinner at the newest LA hotspot or heading to a comedy show or concert, I tend to dress for success haha :p What can I say, I am a girly girl through and through 😉

Wearing a Little Black Dress has been my go to for every special occasion (big or small) since it is just timeless + classic. You can never go wrong with a great LBD and then just add a blazer, a moto or denim jacket or a cardigan to dress the look up or down – one key piece with the ability to be styled multiple ways…what gets better than that?

I actually found this floral cardigan for only $10 at Burlington (it’s Philosophy and I was pretty stunned / thrilled when I found i on the clearance rack). When you aren’t sure of where your date may be or even if you will be heading out after work, I like to layer a cardigan with a little black dress so the ensemble is classy but not overly dressy and leaves a little room for a casual feel as well (just pick shoes to best match your mood of course :p).

This pairing is somewhat in between ‘dressy‘ and ‘casual‘ making it a great look to replicate with just a few signature pieces you will want to mix + match within your wardrobe for the rest of 2017!

The lighting is a little off in these shots because I made the mistake of venturing out to shoot during the day…bad idea haha Now I know why although it is a pain in the you know what, it is well worth it to wake up at 5am to shoot first thing in the morning before the sun is too bright 😉 #TheStruggleIsReal If you ever thought blogging was a walk in the park, let me be the first to tell ya…it’s not :p

Despite the lighting, the look itself is on point…

I can’t honestly remember where I purchased this dress but I found a few similar options below along with two cardigan options since mine was a stroke of luck clearance find that I haven’t been able to track down online anywhere else.

All options are budget friendly at under $50!

I kept my shoes + bag classic black and simple as well – you can never go wrong with the basics 😉

Sammy Dress Black Scallop Dress :: Black Faux Fur Heels :: Black Python Clutch

Happy Monday Loves ♥ It’s no surprise that I love to dress up and I absolutely LOVE a classic LBD…Little Black Dress! So, it made perfect sense that I partner up with the ‘Little Black Dress of fruit‘…Dole Dippers! This was such a fun shoot because I actually got to snack while I was posing (anyone who says blogging is easy clearly hasn’t experienced the exhaustion of outfit shoots hehe :p). These yummy treat made shooting this classic look that much sweeter…

I clearly enjoyed snacking a little too much :p #SorryNotSorry

I mean can you blame me…these mini dark chocolate covered fruit packs range from 60-100 calories making them the ideal snack for when you are having one of those sweet tooth cravings!

I teamed up with Dole Dippers because they are partnering with Gilt.com for a ‘Chic Essentials’ sale LIVE now (you know I love a good sale…especially one that consists of ‘chic’ must-haves)! Not only is there a huge sale, but there is also a fabulous sweepstakes you can enter!!!

Dole Dippers & Gilt are giving YOU a chance to win a Style Essentials Consultation with a Gilt Stylist AND a $500 Shopping Credit!! Talk about a D R E A M♥ Enter HERE!

Just like every woman has a little black dress in her closet that she can count on to make her feel good to go, Dippers are that better-for-you staple indulgence available in her freezer when a chocolate craving hits. It makes perfect sense that Gilt (the source for your style essentials) & Dole Dippers (the little black dress of fruit) partnered for this exciting sweepstakes and sale!!

My LBD is from Sammy Dress and retails for under $15 (yea..no joke…it’s only $12)! I am obsessed with the scallop detailing and the A-Line fit…making it the perfect essential for a date night, a party or even a girl’s night out.

The quality is amazing (even though it’s only $12) + the shipping was pretty quick so it’s an easy last minute affordable buy for a surprise event or commitment!

My black python clutch is from Michael Kors and no longer available but I found two similar styles below that are actually more wallet friendly + great quality. I love when affordable picks actually look expensive.

My gorgeous bling is courtesy of Jade Treasures. I love when affordable jewels look expensive and these stunning gold bangle bracelets with crystal stone accents do just the trick! They are great to add a little sparkle to any look!

You can’t have a chic look without a great pair of shoes…and these beauties are kinda amazing! A black heel is always on trend, but a black heel with faux fur accent…perfect for dressing up a LBD even more ♥
