Happy Valentines Day!

I love Valentine’s Day and can’t seem to get enough of all the oh-so-sweet jewelry, trinkets, cupcakes, chocolates, flowers and basically anything pink. Here are a few of my favorite Valentine’s Day gift ideas.

I heart this Juicy Couture Pavé Petals Adjustable Flower Ring which comes packaged in an adorable pink and gold flower box.


If your sweetheart travels, this Marc by Marc Jacobs Cosmetic Bag is just what she needs to stylishly store all her beauty essentials. Love the bow print! 



You can’t not love these super cute Valentino Platform Pumps. Patent leather upper/leather lining and sole. Made in Italy.


Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion for champagne, chocolate covered strawberries and a romantic bubble bath! For a bubble bath that smells good enough to eat try the Philosophy 'Pink Frosted Layer Cake', a high-foaming shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath in one.


You’ll feel glamorous getting ready for a hot Valentine’s Day date with this pretty Dior Lace Face Highlighting Powder.


If you love lipgloss then you need this Smashbox Roller Lip Gloss that leaves your lips with a hint of shimmer so you can smooch your way through Valentine’s Day. I also like that this gloss has a roller applicator because brush wands are SO out.


This Gorjana Leather Wrap Bracelet makes a perfect Valentine’s Day gift! It’s versatile enough to wear with a dress and yet casual enough to pair with jeans and a t-shirt.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Spring 2010 Trend: Leather

The leather trend has carried over from fall and into spring but you don't have to be a bad-ass to pull off this trend.  Whether you prefer a dress, a hoody, a classic mini skirt, shorts or a jacket, there's definitely something for everyone. 


This leather pencil skirt from YSL is serious enough to wear to the office and yet sexy enough to wear on a hot date. Love. 


The Versace Spring Collection would have been incomplete without an embellished leather mini like this one.   


Shorts are in for Spring 10 and these leather Emporio Armani shorts are a fresh new way to wear the leather trend.  


I love the bow detail on these leather shorts by Charlotte Ronson and the spacious pockets definitely seal the deal.   


For girls who prefer to go with the classics how about this quarter sleeve leather jacket by Blumarine. 


This Balenciaga leather hoody is the perfect layering piece for the spring/summer transition.

5 Ways to Spend a $100 Bravern Gift Card


Shopping has always been one of my favorite past times and it’s even more fun when I’m shopping with someone else’s money. That’s why you’re crazy if you don’t take two seconds to fill out a quick survey from The Bravern for a chance to win a $100 gift card. There are a million ways you can spend the gift card but here are my top 5 recommendations.

# 1- A leopard Marc by Marc Jacobs cosmetics case ($48) and a Stainless Steel & Gabanna Ring ($55) from Nieman Marcus.



# 2- A beautiful borough necklace ($88) and a pair of Buttercup earrings ($18) from Anthropologie.




#3- A pair of Paul Frank sunglasses from Eye Society ($104).

# 4- A Soft Serve Ice Cream maker from Sur La Table. It makes 1 ½ quarts of soft serve ice cream, yogurt, or sorbet in 20 minutes flat ($99).


# 5- A Clayton Zip Coin Purse from Tory Burch ($95).

You might consider skipping the shopping altogether and pampering yourself at the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa instead. For $100 you can get a 50 minute cream and sugar scrub. 


Time is running out. The deadline to enter the survey is Monday!

Decorating with Decals


Living in a rental and dying to decorate? Painting is SO last year and guess what? Wall decals have come a long way. For those of you new to the wall decal game, the story is simple. Stick it on and peel it off. It's that easy and Blik has graphics to satisfy every personality and decorating style.  

Blik is perfect for people who love to decorate but don't want to commit to wallpaper or a certain shade of paint. Within minutes, you can transform the look of any room in your house and when you’re tired of your design you can remove the decal and start over again. 

I love the mirror frame! It makes an otherwise plain mirror look oh so chic!



Or how about using decals in lieu of a wooden headboard? LOVE. 



How about decorating the floor with doilies? OMG so cute. Makes me want to have a tea party!



If you think your room would look better with shelves but don't want to physically install them, this is the perfect solution for you!



You can even use decals to decorate chair backs. Such a cute idea!!!
