Happy almost Galentine’s Day Darling,

alentine’s Day is just around the corner and you know what that means…. discounted chocolate the day after! Have you found your perfect Galentine’s Day Outfit yet?

If you’ve been following along this month, then you know this February I teamed up with one of my true loves, Gabe’s, to bring you some fabulous and fun V-day outfit inspiration on a budget. Whether you are planning a romantic date or staying in with your gal pals, you’ll be sure to find all the red and pink you need for your Valentine’s Day Outfit at Gabe’s.

I have already shared inspiration for casual and date night V-Day outfits on the blog, but you can’t forget about the most important of all: Galentine’s Day! Galentine’s Day is a day to celebrate the lovely ladies in your life over brunch, drinks, or anything your heart desires! This skirt and top combo is perfect for a day or night out with your girls.

Can you believe that my entire outfit is under $30?! This black long sleeve shirt is so soft and amazingly comfortable. When I saw this pink accordion skirt, it was love at first site. This skirt paired with the black top makes for a truly flattering look. I mentioned how much I love this $12 purse so I had to add it to this outfit, too. The pink makes for a great neutral and the gold hardware is a personal favorite.

As for the balloons, these are a definite must-have if you are planning on hosting your own Galentine’s Day party!

Happy Friday Eve Darling!

I know that I usually write about fashion, but I did promise to talk about all things Valentine’s Day, and what is a V-day without chocolate covered strawberries?

If you are “fresh” out of ideas for bae, or want to do a little something extra, make him or her chocolate covered strawberries. They are SO easy to make and are a heck of a lot cheaper than buying them. Plus, they’re from your heart!

Here’s what you will need:

• Strawberries (I made about 2 dozen)
• White Chocolate Chip Morsels
• Red food coloring
• Sandwich bags
• Sprinkles
• Vegetable Oil
• Parchment paper

How to make Chocolate Covered Strawberries

First, wash the strawberries and stick them right in the freezer for about 25-30 minutes. This helps the chocolate to harden quickly while dipping them.

For the last few minutes that your strawberries are in the freezer, start to melt the chocolate morsels with a tiny amount of vegetable oil (just enough that the morsels are slightly coated in oil). I used about a half bag of morsels and microwaved them in a glass bowl for about 20 seconds at a time until they were full melted. Of course, you can use milk chocolate if you prefer.

Once you take the strawberries out of the freezer, start dipping them into your chocolate generously and lay them on your parchment paper. After you dip your strawberries, it’s time to start decorating! Because I’m obviously an amateur, I just used a sandwich bag to decorate by filling the bag with chocolate and cutting a small part of the corner off. Add a few drops of red food coloring to your white chocolate chips and you’ll have the perfect shade of pink! You can easily drizzle your strawberries and draw hearts like mine! I found some sprinkles in my cabinet and added a few! If you are going to use sprinkles, make sure the chocolate hasn’t fully dried so that they will stick.

And that’s it! They are that simple 🙂

Happy Friday Darling!

I am SO excited for the weekend! I’m currently on my way to Phoenix for the Waste Management Open. I know absolutely nothing about golf, but am so ready to get out of the cold weather for a few days.

As promised, the next few weeks on the blog are going to be dedicated to all things Valentine’s Day! Only 14 more days until v-day, which means only 15 more days until I go to the candy section of Target and buy all of the chocolate that I can.

I thought I would start off this month of pink-ness by sharing a few of my favorite pink sweaters under $75 that will come in time for the 14th! My Barbie sweater is currently sold out but I’ll keep checking back!

Here are 5 amazing pink sweaters that will be perfect for your casual Valentine’s Day Plans:

1. This geometric sweater

This sweater has fabulous details and will be perfect with a pair of light jeans and booties or flats.

2. This oversized turtleneck

An oversized sweater is my favorite go-to item in the winter. The color of this sweater is amazing and it is beyond cozy with the chunky turtleneck.

3. This chevron sweater

This sweater is so much fun and is so festive for Valentine’s Day.

4. This cropped cardigan (on super sale!)

Okay, I think this one may be my favorite of all of them. The deep v and buttons add fun details. This will look cute buttoned up or left open.

5. This cable knit sweater

Oh my gosh I have all the heart eye emojis for this cable knit sweater. It will be perfect for Spring, too!
