Love is in the air. And if you're in New York, so is the snow! :) From sweet and playful to romantic and glam, here are two Valentine's inspired looks to get you in the spirit. So whether you're going on a hot date or spending time with your besties these day and night looks are perfect for whatever you have planned. And the best part is, you can easily wear these styles long after Valentine's Day.
I found this adorable heart sweater at Madewell 2 years ago and find myself wearing it year round. It doesn't just have to be for Valentine's Day! I love the double graphic print with red and blue stripes inside the hearts. It's too cute. I recently started wearing it with a buttoned up chambray shirt and ripped jeans for an updated look. I've also rocked this outfit with my navy floppy hat.

This velvet dress was love at first sight. When I spotted it a few weeks ago in the Anthropologie sales rack, I immediately had a huge crush and could not believe how discounted it was from the original price. I almost fell over. (Sadly that's probably why it's no longer online otherwise I'd be eager to share!) The details in the design are absolutely exquisite. I felt like a Greek Goddess in the dressing room. I also found a new love for baby doll dresses because they are so loose and comfortable. This is another dress you could wear year round which I'm SO excited about! To do this beautiful neckline justice, I think you have to wear your hair up. I opted for a braided up-do to go with the Greek vibe I was feeling.
Hair Styling Tip: Believe it or not, this braided hair style is so easy! Anyone can do it! And it takes less than 5 minutes! All you do is part your hair (either on the side or down the middle) and just braid (regular braid, not french) each side starting by your ear all the way down. Then just lift one braid at a time up on top of your head and bobby pin it down at the ends. Then do the same with the other side. And, voila! You're done! It's my chic dirty hair trick! :) Now you're in on my secret! :)
