Valentine’s Day | A Stunning Gown and a Round up of Dresses

Valentines Day Dress Ideas | AFRM Look

Happy Thursday loves!  I’m currently sitting on my couch writing this, while looking at my adorable husband and nearly unbearably adorable kitten, thinking about how blessed I am.  So much of life is about perspective, and I’m constantly trying to make sure mine is one that views the glass as half full and appreciates all the good things.  It’s a daily practice, but I’ve got to admit that kittens make it easier.  Even naughty ones 😉

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and I’ve been so excited to share dress and gift recommendations!  I’m a tad sad, as I won’t see Ross on Valentine’s Day, but I’ll get to see new collections for AW18 from some designers I love, and have dinner with Ross the 15th at one of my favorite restaurants in NYC, so I can’t complain!

Valentines Day Dress Ideas | AFRM Look

If you’re more of a last minute type person (like I soooo am, and am trying to be better about, haha!) or even just have been searching for the perfect Valentine’s Day outfit but haven’t had any luck, I got you!  I’ve rounded up some beautiful dresses (and a few jumpsuits), both affordable and splurge-worthy:

Normally, I don’t go all out for dates and such, but lately I’ve had the itch to dress up more, so I selected this gorgeous dress from AFRM, and love how elegant and timeless it is!  You can’t go wrong with satin when wanting to look elegant.  The ruffles add drama, and the rusty red makes it oh-so-perfect for Valentine’s Day. (it also comes in a beautiful floral here)

Do you tend to dress up or down more for date nights & holidays?  Do you have an outfit forValentine’s Day yet?  Let me know in the comments!

I’m off to continue planning for NYFW, but I will see you guys over on IG!  Happy Friday-eve!

Bisous,

Laurelle

    I love the ruffle details on your dress. It’s sooo gorgeous on you and I hope you wow everyone by wearing that out on Valentine’s Day. I love dressing up for holidays and special occasions or just to concerts and operas. If it’s a public space, I wanna look my best. You look smoking babe!

    Aww babe, this dress is absolutely gorgeous. Not mentioning the beautiful scarlet shade of it, the silhouette is also something that makes the whole look very special. Definitely a perfect dress for the Valentine’s Day!

Love this little guy so much, but I hate how he st Love this little guy so much, but I hate how he stinks!

I also hate cleaning his litter box…  Until I found @PrettyLitter last summer, I used to have to clean it every few days because the smell would be so unbearable.  Now, I can go 2-3 weeks before it starts to become bothersome.  SUCH a game changer!

I also love how #PrettyLitter helps me keep tabs on Myko's health.  The litter changes color when there is a potential health issue, helping you save on vet bills and potentially your cat's life!

Getting my glow on with @Temptu’s new tanning sy Getting my glow on with @Temptu’s new tanning system… a self-tanner spray and exfoliator spray duo that gives you an even, natural looking, sun-kissed glow so smooth, it looks airbrushed!

I’ve been getting comments and compliments on my tan lately, but I’ve actually not spent much time in the sun, and most of it has been with SPF! Instead I’ve been opting for a safer, quicker way to tan… The TEMPTU Mist Body Self-Tanner Spray & BHA Exfoliator Set.

The self-tanner spray is buildable and lasts for a week or longer, so you can maintain a healthy glow with weekly applications, or use daily to build up to a deeper tan quickly!  It’s also clean, packed with ingredients like Activys & Aloe to nourish and moisturize, and when primed with the BHA exfoliator spray, leaves skin + tan looking healthier and lasting longer!

The innovative precision-engineered spray tool delivers an ultra-fine mist, an even, continuous spray and no-compromise 360° spray technology so the application is thorough and seamless.  No mitt, no missed spots, no mess! 👌🏽👏🏽

I’ve been loving how quick and easy it’s been too get my skin glowing & tan, and most importantly appreciate how much better it is for my skin then laying in the sun for hours without SPF!

Head to my stories to shop!
