The Countdown to Valentine's Day...

Happy January 14! 

Today is just an ordinary day, but one month from today is Valentine's Day! I know not everyone loves Valentine's Day, but I totally do. It's the day I had my first date ever with Brogan, it's a day full of hearts, chocolate, and flowers... and it's the day of love! What more can I say? 

I've been getting ready for Valentine's Day early this year and it has been so much fun. My house is all decked out in lovely Valentine's decor and I'm starting to think of what I will wear for our special date night. Below is some inspiration for Valentine's Day, enjoy!!

Weekly Wishlist: Fall Staples

For last week's Weekly Wishlist, I talked about my Fall Wants. This week, I want to talk about Fall Staples. All of these items are things that I will wear over and over again probably until March. They are investment pieces that you can mix and match and wear more many, many times over the fall and winter season. 

1. Sheinside Black Blazer: these go with everything and make an outfit look so polished!

2.Old Navy Suede Flats: so comfortable and chic at the same time.

3. Loft Chambray T-shirt: I just want to live in this top. I bought it two weeks ago and I love how it isn't your basic chambray button-up, but how I can still wear it so many different ways. They run large, so I bought an xs. 

4. Loft Skinny Jeans: Always a MUST. 

5. Loft Comfy Knit Scarf: because it isn't fall without a chunky scarf.

6. Old Navy Quilted Vest: As it starts getting cooler, these are my absolute favorite to through over long sleeves or a sweater. I have it in black and wear it frequently in the fall and winter.

7. Old Navy Striped Tee: This is such a basic item that can be worn over and over again. I particularly like this tee because the back is solid black and the front is striped. It is also thicker than most tees and has the loose fit that I like. And it's only $12 right now!

8. Old Navy Thick Leggings: I want them in black and wine!

9. Sole Society Ankle Booties: I just want to live in these during the fall! 

Thanks for reading! What are your fall staples? I'd love to hear about them in the comments, on twitter, facebook, or instagram!

Weekly Wishlist: Fall Flats

I am definitely in fall mode now! Are you? If only this 80-90 degree weather would back off now? Before I get excited for boots (even though it had already happened) I get excited for all the styles of fall flats that are coming out. I think d'orsay flats and loafers are going to be big this season.

These 6 flats are my wishlist right now...

Weekly Wishlist Home Edition

Over the past week, I have been doing some redecorating in my home. I recently started working from home, so I'm trying to create an office space that is both organized and comfortable. We also recently were given a new king size bed, so we needed new bedding. Then, a few days ago we completely rearranged our living room- so I figured why not just redecorate it!? I love redecorating and shifting rooms around. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it is so refreshing and fun. I love the idea of mixing yellows, teals, and grays. I may throw in some coral too :)
