Valentine's Day Looks

Valentine's Day is literally right around the corner. Excited? You should be. Whether you have a dinner date with your beau or a girls night out, see the looks to get you through the day and phase into night!

Dinner Date

If you have a romantic dinner date planned, you should dress in something cute but comfortable. The worst is being at dinner in an uncomfortable dress. Here is my outfit of choice: a red dress from Modcloth, Forever 21 Nude Pumps, an Aldo clutch and a French Connection Bracelet.

Casual Movie

Movie date is my kind of Valentine's day. Actually that's a lie. Mine would be a sweatpants date. However, a movie date can be super casual which means you can dress down but still look girly. Try pairing some colored jeans like these ones from Mango, a white blouse with detailing like this one from Vero Moda, and a pair of booties, I chose these from Asos. Then throw on a leather jacket, for this combo I chose a brown one from Delias and top it off with OPI Skyfall nails.  The gold hoops from Brooks Brothers and the color blocked clutch from Asos give it a dainty look.

Girls Night Out

If you are celebrating Valentine's with your best girl friends, its a chance to dress flirty and fun. I am especially loving pleated or flared skirts right now (especially leather ones, yum), so I chose to start off with this one from Asos. I paired it with a crop top from Miss Selfridge, and nude wedges from Aldo. I completed it with gold accessories like this watch from Marc by Marc Jacobs and statement necklace from Modeets. This will be comfy and cute, perfect for drinks or dancing!

There you go! Some fun and easy Valentine's day looks. Let me know which look is your fave and how you will be celebrating Valentine's day :)

ps: I made all these sets on Polyvore!

How to do Spring Break for Less

It's February! Which means spring break is quickly approaching in only a few weeks. If you aren't travelling anywhere and kickin it at home, here are some ways to do Spring Break for less, but still have fun!

Movie Marathon
Who doesn't like a movie marathon? Grab your friends, make some popcorn, and watch your favourite series. You get to hang out with your friends and stay up all night. Some cult favourites of mine include: Harry Potter, Back to the Future, and Star Wars!

Be a Tourist in your City

Have you ever tried this? Take a day and go be a tourist in your city. If you live in bigger cities, there is so much you can find that you most likely have never tried because you thought, "oh I live here what's the point?" Go downtown  have lunch at a small restaurant, shop at the markets and take pictures with landmarks. You'll discover your city all over again!

Girls Night
A key for spring break. Have a girls night and make fun drinks, watch romcoms, play some ridiculous games, and catch up with your best friends. This never fails to be a good night.

Try Something New
Whether this trying a new recipe or trying new class at the gym, trying new things is a great pass time and who knows maybe you'll realize you are good at something new!

Go rediscover a childhood activity
Hit up the bowling alley, mini putt or laser tag. You will be surprised how much fun you have after all these years!

Read... for fun
Sometimes we can get so caught up in school readings we don't take two for ourselves. Remember that book you started in the summer? Finish it.

Have a Home Spa Day
There are so many home spa treatments from DIY scrubs and facials to bubble baths and aromatherapy. Find some of the ones you've pinned on Pinterest and put them to the test. Have some alone time or grab a girlfriend who can indulge with you!

And there you have it -pretty much everything I will be doing this spring break!
