valentine's day.

Ever since the "heart fairy" covered my bedroom floor with colorful candy hearts when I was little, Valentine's Day has always been one of my favorite days in the world. What's better than twenty four hours dedicated to celebrating love? I know some people are resentful toward this holiday, but even if you are not in love, there are so many ways to make this date so enjoyable! Ideas: make cute heart shaped pancakes for your roomies, fill your home with beautiful flowers, or send your friend an adorable valentine telling them how much they mean to you! Even better: plan a fun dinner with your close girlfriends and celebrate what you are thankful for! {P.S. if you are looking for lovely little gift ideas, keep scrolling}.

my new love: the sweatpant jean.

I love sweatpants, and I love a great pair of jeans. I could live in either/or all day, every day. All that to say, I was scrolling through Instagram a few weeks ago and discovered what I thought to be Rag & Bone denim that would immediately join my wish list. As I investigated a bit further, I realized that these jeans were digitally printed sweatpants. What??? Instant screen shot.So the story continues. My friend and I popped into Intermix in LA last week, and she showed me sweatpants she thought were cute. Yes, they were the magical denim look alikes. We tried them on {to die for}, and instead of risking buyer's remorse, I decided to wait and think about the possible purchase. Thoughts: perfect travel pant #chicyetcomfy; perfect dinner date "denim" paired with a heel, a white tee, blazer, and gold dainty necklaces; the perfect 'running errands' sweatpant without looking like you rolled out of bed.My sweet sweet boyfriend surprised me with these the next day. He is an angel. I'm tempted to wear these every day!Rag and Bone Sweatpant Jean/Dolce Vita Leopard Kenzie Booties/Ray Ban Mirrored Aviators/T.
