I don't typically post here on weekends (I certainly do on my Instagram though) but it's Valentine's Day so I feel like I should! You may or may not know that I have been engaged for some time. It will be 4 years later this month! It's been so long that some people have even forgotten that I am engaged! Over the past few years... Chris finished grad school and got his PhD, we moved to a new city, he got a new job, I have gone through many different freelance jobs, I still can't decide on a venue, etc. Now that we are more settled, we are finally planning to end this very long engagement, hopefully next year! I am excited to start planning the big day and I am thrilled to partner up with BHLDN for my first bridal collaboration! Since I don't have any events planned to wear this beautiful lace dress at the moment, I decided to shoot some self-portraits at home with a wall I DIYed with roses! Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I love heart shaped anything, I always have. I have also worn countless heart prints but I believe this is the first time I pulled a hearts-on-hearts look. But hey it's almost Valentine's Day so why not! This trench coat... do I even need to say anything about it? Just look at it! It is the best trench coat ever existed! I paired it with a heart print blouse with peter pan collar, black distressed denim, and a cute velvet heart shaped purse. Although I tried to keep the look neutral with black, white and khaki, I couldn't help to add a touch of red (my flats) for the occasion!

I can't think of a better way to pamper myself this Valentine's Day than with luxurious bath products and beautiful lingerie. I recently got into Lush and let me tell you, this new obsession is for real! I am especially fond of their bath bombs and I love that they have special edition ones just for V-Day which I can't wait to try! I also discovered a new lingerie brand called Love Haus and their Stripe Illusion collection is purely amazing. Think satin, mesh, and sleek silhouette! So this is how I am pampering myself this Valentine's Day, how about you?

Pink and red are too cliché for Valentine's Day? Then ditch those colors and opt for blue instead! Blue can be equally as romantic and feminine if you find the right piece, like this eyelash lace dress! It is perfectly tailored yet delicate and that dusty periwinkle blue color is simply lovely. Whether you are going on a date or just hanging out with girlfriends, this little number paired with a light blue buckled crossbody bag will sure stand out in a sea of pink and red this February 14th!

I don't know about you but there's something very special and fancy about personalized and monogrammed gifts. This Valentine's Day, I teamed up with Leatherology and personalized a couple of wallets for my fiancé and myself. Treat your loved ones but don't forget to treat yourself too! Leatherology offers such great selection of styles and premium leathers that I had a difficult time deciding! I ended up with the Continental Snap Wallet in cognac for myself and the Bifold Wallet with Flap in espresso for my fiancé. And since it is a romantic occasion, I also got us a heart-shaped luggage tag monogrammed with C&T (I love how that looks like CAT). Now, let's hope he doesn't see this post until I give him his gift!
