Top 5 Valentine's Day Pinterest DIYs

Valentine's day is a great excuse to do DIY projects. Whether you are hosting a girls night in, creating a gift for your Valentine, or you just want a snack these are my top Valentine's Day DIYs that you must try out! 

 

Food | You can't go wrong with a great Valentine's day treat. Here are two options that are super easy! The first one is to create Oreo sprinkle pops. I suggest covering your Oreos in chocolate then dipping them into your choice of sprinkles. These will make a great little treat to give to friends or to enjoy yourself! Also, strawberries are a great option for Valentine's day. Follow the steps in the picture to create adorable heart strawberry treats!

 

Gifts | These are two great simple gifts to give your Valentine. Create a coupon customized to your sweetheart. Include things like taking them to dinner at their favorite restaurant or having a movie night in. Another great and easy gift to make is a no-sew pillow. I used to make these all the time for gifts! This heart shaped one is adorable. This would make a great gift for a friend or your Valentine. 


Decor | This Banner DIY is beyond adorable! Creating a burlap and painted banner is a perfect way to spice up your house, dorm room, or apartment. To make the banner more subtle use colors other then red or pink. 

What are your favorite DIY projects? Leave links in the comments I would love to see them!

OOTD: Valentines Day


So, yesterday was Valentines day... Although I may not be a fan I still dress festive! Hey I can't durn down a fun themed look. This outfit included a super cute chiffon peplum top with a pleated bottom. It has capped sleeves and a mock neckline. I paired it with a black cropped blazer to one keep me warm and then to add a little bit of class to the look. Then for practical reasons I wore my Hunter rain boots because it was a blizzard outside today! 

For accessories I wore my arrow necklace and a BCBG love themed bracelet. I think its fun to add small touches of Valentines day cheer to get in the festive mood. 



Where it's from: 
Shirt: American Eagle 
Blazer: Nordstrom 
Jeans: American Eagle 
Boots: Hunters 
Bracelets: Alex and Ani & BCBG 
Watch: Michael Kors 
Necklace: Forever 21 
Earrings: Kate Spade 


{I went a little Instagram crazy yesterday.... not going to lie I just had so many cute posts for the holiday!} 


Hope you had a great day! 
XOXO

Happy Valentines Day

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! 
So, its that day of the year again. Wether you are celebrating with your man or having a Galentine's day it's the perfect excuse to get some candy and watch a sappy movie. 
I have never been a fan of valentines day. I'm always single (lol) so I just find it annoying. In the past I have just stayed and home and done nothing. Last year I did have a boyfriend and I didn't think it was all that exciting. I don't know but I think people take it a little to far sometimes. I mean giant puppy or bear stuffed animals are cool and all but I'd rather get some candy and a rose. But, yet again I have simple needs. 

However, this year I decided to embrace being single of Valentine's day! I am just going to hang with my gal pals and eat candy and watch movies! No matter what I think that you should at least "treat your self" on valentines day in some way. 

How I would treat myself...... 
From bras, nail polish, or a dainty ring treat yourself with something this Valentine's day! No matter how big or small its nice to treat yourself every once and a while. 

And if you are sad you are single on Valentine's day.........There is no reason to be sad! Be happy and read some funny cards or something. Here are a few of my favorites I have found: 


{But actually can this be a thing? Yes? No?}


{Frozen is my favorite. Olaf will you be my valentine?} 


{TRUTH}


{PREACH GIRL! Galentine's day is the best day of the year! So grab your girlfriends and go out!}


Hope you have a fab Valentine's or Galentine's day!








Last Minute Valentines Day Outfits!


Last minute Valentines day plans? No fear! Find something in your wardrobe for a fun night out with your guy or your gals. 


Look one: Pair a pink or red dress with a simple pair of plain black boots. Its super easy and simple to put together. Add some tights to keep yourself warm if its chilly! (right now its a blizzard outside where I'm at so tights are a must!) 
Look two: Pair a fun fuzzy sweater with a flared black skirt. Pair it with a fun Mary Jane heel. Or just any heels in general. If you have a fun red or pink bag carry it along on your date. 
Look three: Find a pair of red skinny jeans and pair them with a fun heart sweater. If you don't have a heart sweater a girly top will do too! Pair it with patterned flats and a statement necklace to complete the look.

So there you have it! Some last minute looks for this years Valentines day! 
XOXO

Cute Things for Single Girls

So ladies, I know I'm not the only one who will be single this Valentines day. But fear not you don't need a freaking teddy bear to make you happy! Valentines day may be fun with a boyfriend but trust be it's just as good without one. 

This year I plan to go see a movie with all of my friends on my residence hall floor. Don't be afraid to go see a sappy movie or have a chocolate fest by yourself. There is no shame. I am NOT here to judge you. 

However, I do have some super cute pictures that will make you want to die (in a very good way though). So, if you don't like super cute romantic things you best look away. If you do then please enjoy some cute things for single girls that I have stumbled upon. 


Okay can this be my wedding. This picture is literally perfect I can't deal with it. Like no. They need to leave. 


Clueless is such a classic. I found this on Tumblr so of course I had to include it. 


If you don't like this picture you need to just I don't even know what. Sarah Vickers is literally perfection and I died when I saw their proposal picture. It is pure perfection. 


Everyone has seen this picture but I had to put it in. I literally think this is hilarious. 


If Gossip Girl doesn't make you feel better on Valentines day I think you are out of luck. Literally they are all perfect! 


Okay if you haven't seen this movie trailer please click HERE immediately. This is a movie that is coming out in the summer I believe and it is called The Fault in Our Stars. It's based on a book and apparently the book is really good. All over Tumblr I have seen gifs of this and I actually cried in commercial for it (no shame no shame). It seems like a really great story and not your typical "romance" movie. So GO WATCH THE TRAILER you won't regret it I promise!

Valentines Day Gift Ideas


Do you need a gift for a sweetheart for valentines day? Or do you want to get yourself something nice to make up for a single year (no shame girl power everyone)? Well here are some of my top picks of good valentines gift ideas! 

What girl doesn't like getting some jewelry? Whoever you are shopping for a fun bracelet or ring is a great idea for a small gift. Alex and Ani has great bangles that can be super personal. Not to mention I am basically obsessed with them and I think they work for a lot of people. Or you could find a fun and bold bracelet from a site like Bauble Bar. In general jewelry is always a good route to go. Personally, I love getting a new bauble for my collection. 

Lets say your girl is more into being comfy and casual. A fun pair of bright Uggs will not only keep her feet warm but they will look super cue with a pair of leggings or skinny jeans. 

For a smaller gift think of a fun makeup item. Butter London nail polish, a YSL lip color, or a Bobbi Brown palette are good splurge beauty items that she wouldn't accept to get for valentines day. These will be a big hit because most girls don't splurge on makeup. But, when someone else does it they will love it! 

Another great option is a fun bag. I love this bow Kate Spade bag and it would be a great option if your girlfriend (or yourself.....) isn't big into jewelry. Also, perfume is a great alternative to jewelry. I want the One Direction perfume but be sure to pick a scent that works for your girl! And don't be afraid to get a gift receipt just incase she doesn't like the scent. 

One last small gift is a fun planner. This is a great idea if you are shopping for a college girl! I am obsessed with my planner and I wouldn't mind getting a cute one like this Kate Spade planner or a Lilly Pulitzer agenda. 

Those are all of my Valentines gift ideas! So no matter who you are shopping for step outside of the box from the traditional candy and teddy bear and get something your girlfriend can actually use and enjoy. 
(But still get candy... because girls love candy and food in general.) 

Hope you have a fun Valentines day wether you are single or taken :)
