Beating Hearts, Baby

Valentines day is here! For those who don't have a valentine it's kind of a black parade of sorts, but for those taken broads like myself it's a day to dress your girliest, melt that cold heart of yours, make a cute card, make those around you puke, bake sweets, and eat as much candy as the broken-hearted sap's who hate you.

THIS IS THE GIRLIEST I GET, READY?:

I've been dying to wear this forever 21 cream and black satin lapel/detailed blazer since I bought it in december. To be honest a lot of my clothes I never get around to wearing. The tights are ones I had to buy one day working at Express because I pulled a plain black pair I was wearing and I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I'm not a sparkly kind of girl but they've grown on me, a sheer sparkly finish.

DETAILS: Two H&M items: The necklace was apart of a "BOGO" jewelry event so essentially, it was free... The mini spaghetti strapped dress underneath is high-waisted and divided so that the top is velvet and the bottom is a black tulle fabric with a form fitting black slip underneath. 

 Even though you shouldn't NEED your wallet on valentines day, it's still cute to carry this Kate Spade treasure. This was a christmas present from my cousin and I think it was made for me.

Not pictured but still noteworthy: This Betsey gift I recieved 4 years ago (from the same boyfriend I have now) I have a thing about not mixing gold and silver, it's sac-relig...

Today's forecast in NY calls for a blizzard,

bright tights, chunky knits,

studded moto gloves, cut-off shorts, and acid wash sweatshirts.

This flavor flave-esque watch necklace is one of my favorite antique finds. I spotted it at a garage sale last summer and had to have it.

The chunky knit scarf is a staple for any girls winter wardrobe.

The cold has its ups and downs, and I know for me one of the downsides is dry skin. With the negative degree wind chills and dry air I have been using Lush 9 to 5 almost every day after I wash my face. I can almost consider it a miracle worker because I have skin that is more toward the oily side and this doesn't enhance that. Also! On the right is the teeny tiniest jar of vaseline, I mean, come on it's so cute and it keeps your lips from chapping! 

Stay warm and stay cute

Hello, hello blogging world

Last week I fell in love with a wine colored moto vest

and more recently i've been obsessing over beanies. I feel bare if I leave the house in the morning without one on.

A closer look:

don't be boring

This glove was actually a halloween prop from an old catwoman costume. 

And of course my day wouldn't be able to begin without a trip to dunkin.
