hanky panky {giveaway!}

With Valentine's Day being just next week (already?!), it got us thinking about beautiful lingerie, pretty date nights or even just a fun night out with the girls. So we went to Hanky Panky and found four different types of lingerie that represent four different types of girls-- proving that no matter what your Valentine's day may look like, there's no reason that you shouldn't feel really, really pretty.

Classic: For the girl who always has a beautiful lingerie set on as she goes about her day. Two words: lace. bralette. yes, just yes. {gilded front tie lace bralette} {gilded lace side tie bikini}

Girly: Keeping things pretty and ultra feminine? Then you'll love this {shimmer lace bralette}. We know we do. 

Bombshell: For our girl that has just the perfect amount of wildside in her: {big cat print bralette} {big cat print cheeky hipster}

Vixen: Our vixen knows how to do sexy while keeping it very pretty. This {Seductress Bralette} is for you. 

So... which one are you? What does your ideal Valentine's Day look like? Well guess what, one of you will win the lingerie featured in either the Classic, Girly, Bombshell, Vixen looks. Yup. A little Valentine's Day gift to yourself...

Who says great hair has to take forever? Messy hair is everything we're about. Wake up, spray some texture spray, add a few curls and your look is set. 

Here's what you'll need to recreate this way too easy look: 

{ fabric time }

When it came time to choose fabrics (in 4 days) for my living room, I called on Peggy & Loretta of Aubusson home for their expertise. They came over, put up with my weird taste "No, I think I want something more dragon-y" and also helped get it all custom made on a tight deadline. Visit their site the next time you need to spruce up one of your rooms-- you won't be disappointed.

{ hybrid heel boot }

I'm always searching for "roughed up" booties that I can wear with jeans, dresses, and shorts. Introducing my newest faves: the hybrid heel boot from Free People. I had a hard time choosing a color but went with the tan (charcoal looks amazing too). They have the perfect amount of distress to them, and I love the wide heel-- makes it possible to wear-all day. Like?

{ Shay Bag }

Currently obsessed with this Shay Bag from Sole Society-- the natural color makes the bag as versatile as it is chic! Don't you love the idea of pairing it with dark, hunter green nail polish? Yes, just yes.

Here's how we'll style it:

{ oversized appeal }

Ok it's freezing. I spent my snow day doing some sketching and closet cleaning. I have been dying for a really large, oversized scarf in a wintry print. Thinking maybe I need to search menswear too, b/c I like a really big scarf. I'm talking double-as-a-blanket size. Peeked online and here's what I found...

{ Snow Day }

Want to know what makes blizzards more fun? A fuzzy cotton candy colored coat. I like to wear baby pinks mixed with grey, white, and metallics. I chose all h&m (coat, denim and booties) for the snow and paired with my wasson bag from be&d. Piled on some gold, silver & rose gold brandy pham and jcrew jewelry and hit the snow.
