Every girl needs a “Galentine’s Day”. The phrase was made popular by one of my fave shows, Parks and Rec, and it’s a day/night around Valentine’s Day where you get together with your best girlfriends to spend some quality girl time. Whether you have a Valentine or not, it’s a necessity to get in some gal-pal time! One of my closest friends and fellow fashion blogger, Danielle from the blog Shikshin, and I hosted a Galentine’s Day dinner at a local sushi restaurant with some of our girlfriends. We had a ton of fun, filled with sushi, cocktails, cupcakes and some amazing lip products from Makeup Academy! CVS Beauty Club provided all of our guests with 3 different products, and we had so much fun playing with them! Do you do a “Galentine’s Day” with your girlfriends? What does yours involve? Brunch, shopping, cocktails, spa? Share below!

I’m heading to New Orleans in a few weeks for work, and I’m pretty excited about it. I’ve been one other time (also for work), and I can’t wait to go back and spend a few more days there! My last trip included some sightseeing, some cocktails, and of course, some Café Du Monde beignets! The colors, liveliness, and spirit of New Orleans have inspired some recent fashion cravings. Here are some of those NOLA fashions I’m feeling:

Food and fashion – two beautiful things. Both have beautiful colors, textures, and are true art. So, I’ve paired up some delicious recipes that I’ve stumbled upon, with some perfectly paired dresses! LEMON CAKE COFFEE CAKE (DONUTS) HOT CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE FRESH STRAWBERRY CAKE

I’ve been browsing a lot of “horn” necklaces lately (this House of Harlow necklace I saw and tweeted about seemed to be a hit!), and it led me to even more exploration of horn accessories of all different kinds. Whether they are literal horn pendants, or beautiful bangles made of horn-style material, I’m all about it lately! I’m especially a little overly excited about this Nicole by Nicole Miller Two-Tone Horn Layered Necklace (for $23.50!): On my horn-hunt, I’ve hunted and gathered links to all sorts of horn accessories for you to browse: Do you have any favorite horned accessories that you love? I can imagine that there are some great vintage pieces out there too!

So, I’m having a magenta moment. I’m obsessing over all things magenta and fuchsia, and just took it into full force (as I wrote this post) and ordered a magenta purse to take me through the rest of Summer and into Fall (you can definitely get away with a magenta purse in “Fall” (note, the quotes) in Florida). I recently came across this one on JustFab, which is what sparked my magenta mood. It was out of stock for a while and just came back with limited quantities available, so I just ordered it (before it’s gone again!). This sparked my hunt for other magenta and fuchsia accessories, and I’ve rounded up some fun and bright options: Are you being drawn to any particular colors this season?

For those of you who don’t know, I have my own etsy shop where I sell 8×10 fun and fashionable graphic prints. I’m soon going to be changing the name of my blog to be more in line with “style” in general, rather than sounding solely beauty-related, since I blog about style, fashion, and lifestyle in addition to beauty products, so my etsy shop name will change as well to be the same (stay tuned for these changes!). In the meantime, Valentine’s Day is creeping up on us soon, so I got inspired to create a special print in the “love department”, but relating to fashion, of course! I’m running a giveaway for this print, and a lucky winner will receive an 8×10 version of the print (frame not included) to frame for their home or office!
