Happy Valentine’s Day, my loves! Today is all about embracing life through a rose-tinted lens, so I thought I’d share a roundup of things that hopefully will make your day even better. Here are some love-filled things from across the web, and a fun little giveaway, too!
First, here are a few things from across the web that will brighten your day.
- An amazing website in which 100% of the donations go toward nonprofits that help combat sexual assault and harassment against women. (PS – This was started by a group of driven women in Chicago, one of which is a great friend of mine! Big shout out to Lily for being such a go-getter.)
- Adore this roundup of places to travel in the spring. Julia always picks the most charming places to visit.
- I asked my followers on Instagram Stories for suggestions of their favorite love songs, and the result is this amazing Spotify playlist, curated by you! It’s a fun mix of new finds and classics; I’ve been listening to it on repeat!
- This quote made me breathe a sigh of contentment.
- DIY boob macaroons. SO GOOD. I die.
- Have you seen the new Barak Obama portrait that was unveiled at the National Portrait Gallery? It’s so beautiful, and I officially want a replica for my home. Here’s the scoop behind the flower’s hidden meanings!
- Love isn’t always wonderful – this was a refreshing read and I’m sure many people can relate!
On the personal style front, spring is on the horizon, and I’m so excited for warmer (and longer!) days. Spring is one of my favorite seasons to dress for, because it’s filled with florals, light layers and transition pieces where you can get really creative. Here are a few finds I’m eyeing right now.
- Remember this dress? It was good for warm fall days, but is perfect for spring or even summer events, too. It’s under $100, comes in 7 colors, and is so flattering.
- Blush makes me so happy, and these tassel fringe earrings, this cutwork balloon-sleeve blouse, and these retro-inspired sneakers are too good!
- This carry-on suitcase that will turn heads at the airport and makes me want to pack up for a trip right now.
- The bow on these heels is the ideal feminine touch.
Home is where the heart is, and for me it’s where all the cozy love and happiest little moments happen. Below are some links that bring touches of goodness to a room. (Details on my “C’est la vie” t-shirt and Levi’s jeans can be found here!)
- A cozy, faux fur throw that doubles as a stylish detail over a couch or armchair.
- If you love home decor, my friend Kira of Kira David Design is so talented and has the most amazing feed for inspiration.
- Can Chip and Joanna do wrong?! I’m crazy about everything in their new Target line.
- This dining room makeover really is my dream gathering room.
Can you even with these two? They’re wearing matching sweatshirts from Target. Here are some motherhood-focused links that made me extra happy!
- A list of favorite cartoon heroines for preschoolers.
- Blue Ivy is a diva and it made me feel better that even Bey is a professional snack holder. 😉
- “A love letter to my body.” YES! I’ve been feeling a bit insecure lately with my body’s changes after weaning from breastfeeding, and this made me get a grasp on reality and be thankful for what my body has done.
- 51 ways to take a break this Valentine’s Day. You deserve it, mama!
