St. Valentine's Day Things

with Valentine's Day being this friday here are some red, pink, and Valentine's Day themed things. The coupley association with Valentine's Day is stupid IMO but few things are better than pink & red color combos, heart shaped anything, Valentine's day treats and decorations, and telling your friends that you love them! I just think it's the cutest day.

This year St. Valentine's day is on a friday (yay) and I will be celebrating by wearing my wildfox lip sweater I've worn the past few years (i only wear it on vday) and getting a fun starbs drink and bringing in a tbd treat to work and doing the traditional whole foods friday wine tasting (6 years strong!) I didn't have my act together enough to send out valentine's day cards, next year.

Here are Valentine's day posts from years past. Valentine's Day 2019. Valentine's Day 2018. Valentine's Day 2017. Valentine's Day 2015.
Krispy Kreme Heart Donut

There is also this cake batter filled one. 




This love letter bar soap is cute too.

valentine's day gifts

one more week until my favorite holiday, St. Valentine's Day! Even though less and less people are celebrating Valentine's day, it is still my favorite day! Who doesn't love love, hearts, festive treats, and pink and red??  2019 valentine's day gift picks... you're welcome.




red heart lipstick
heart lipstick / free people $14

if you know someone who likes lipstick this fun heart shaped one would be a perfect gift. I never wear lipstick because I don't really know how to do it but this one would is just super pretty to look at.


drinking enough water bottle / ban.do $20

you need to go on ban.do's website so you can zoom in and see what this water bottle says. it has fun motivational sayings to remind you to drink more water. I love little pep talks. I haven't used one of the ones with a rubber or like soft straw in so long so that might take some transitioning.


oysho pajama set

heart pajamas  / oysho
Here is a link to the matching bottoms. If you live in europe you're lucky to have oysho! my mom got me an outfit from there when she was in spain, I can't wait to see it next time I see her! they have the perfect matching sets, cozy clothes, workout clothes, and basic underwear that is the perfect mix of not looking super ugly or like to try hard. Everything is just very aesthetically pleasing to me and well priced but they don't ship to the US. I would def wear this out in public, the perf heart motif!




facial roller nordstrom
facial roller / nordstrom $28

these thing seemed really stupid to me but I could actually see myself like mindlessly watching TV and just using this roller thing. It might actually feel good cold too. Would be a low commitment gift for a friend, I love gifting things that people might not be likely to buy for themselves.

orange biker shorts

psa these are orange! not red but i just had to include them. i think they look so cool in the on model pics!
GAH sweatshirt

GAH sweatshirt / lisa says gah $88 (on sale)

This sweatshirt would be perf with the above orange biker shorts.

mini heart waffle maker
mini waffle maker / urban outfitters $18

Love mini things! This would also look good in pics. Unfortunately, it looks like this isn't available until 2/28. There is a normal shaped mini waffle maker available.

free people flower strap bralette
flower bra top / urban outfitters $29 (on sale)

Love the straps on this and the long line. I like when straps show if they're fun. Reminds me of fests.

valentines day love mug

heart mug / asos $8

You can't have too many mugs. The letters on this remind me of those balloons so it's kind of a snapshot of the time too.

fresh sugar lip kit

these little gift sets are the best! the packaging is super cute. this polish thing works really well on dry lips. Since these are neutral colors they're great for using every single day.
red heart socks

love the spacing on these. i've been wearing socks with mules a lot lately so my feet don't freeze. it was my winter resolution to dress for the weather.

animal print lucite hanbag


I've been wanting one of those transparent bags with another bag inside or one of the structured geometric whatever you call it ones like this. This one comes with a gold strap, I think it's super cute.

Valentine's Day Things


I missed my op to post of all of my fave festive heart things before Valentine's Day but better later than never! and also I just got my wisdom teeth removed this morning so I am stuck on the couch and gave up TV for Lent....


    gabriel dress
I saw this dress featured on revolve's homepage in their "lovers and friends" collection and was instantly obsessed. love the wrap style and the polka dots are super fun. I could see myself wearing this a lot with an oversized jean jacket and black chelsea boots.


super drawn to the color of these guys! You would have to watch the silk in the rain but these are an easy pick me up to add to any otherwise boring outfit.



I'm super into sweatsuits and matching lounge things right now. In Spain I was introduced to this brand Oysho who do lounge wear & active wear superbly.  Unfortunately they don't ship to the U.S. 


heart succulent
a cute little succulent in a subtle heart shape! also love the color of the pot.


oxford stripe nightshirt
cute pajamas help you feel so much more put together IMO. Also I've been spending wayyy more time in bed than usual watching as much Mad Men as possible before Lent so that could have something to do with me being into the cause for cute pajamas.


loveee white linen dresses. this one is especially cute. Can't wait until it is finally seasonably appropriate to wear them.

have y'all seen the alice + olivia & starbs collab cups this year?? they're even cuter than the previous ones which I didn't think was possible. Unfortunately they're only available in Asia so don't get too excited. This mini wallet also has a little key chain.

pretty sure I've def included this in a gift guide before but this handle that has surprise earrings inside is such a perfect gift! one six five is one of the cbus establishments that I miss the most.

valentine's day gifts


valentine's day has been my 2nd favorite day of the year for as long as I can remember. I love the heart motifs, color combos, love, cards, cupcakes, etc. here are my gift picks for this year....

the best things are tiny and yellow gold. do your homework on shipping for these guys or if you are local one six five jewelry will be at cbus flea this weekend I think. 


I love wearing things that are kinda supposed to be pajamas out of the house.
may designs has some super cute v day notebooks

big believer that lace up flats elevate any outfit. also love the festive red

this stuff rocks


I've always wanted one of the holly golightly eye masks but this one is almost as cute

gotta love a good surprise ball

there is a cold shoulder version of the top I got and loved last year. the elbow patches are adorably festive

the end of this pencil is heart shaped, too cute! working post grad has made me have a new appreciation for desk accessories/ supplies. 

venessa arizaga stuff is so fun and captivating. this is on sale rn I ordered it yesterday
