Feminine Sweets



With February 14th exactly one week away, feminine sweets in the palest and brightest of pinks are naturally on my mind. Yet as lovely as the thought of getting dressed up in pink sounds, my most cherished Valentine's Day memories have been the nights I've stayed in. For the past few years my girlfriends and I have celebrated the holiday in our sweats with take-out chinese food and a bottle of wine (a tradition that we started in college). 
My guy and I will be celebrating in a similar low key manner this year, what about you?

PS: If you haven't already seen this red and pink themed party over on the Glitter Guide, you really must check it out (especially if you're planning to throw a girlie Valentine's Day soirée of your own).

There are so many V-Day posts up right now, but your picks killed it. I love the overwhelming femininity of it all. The blush and the bows. Love. xo

My boyfriend and I also do it up low-key. I think its best. It's also the least stressful.

Those pink pants are my favorite - I'm just loving pastels for spring!

PINK! Adore these picks - sometimes it's hard to find pink clothese that are pretty not trashy and feminine not babyish... you nailed it!

Could this post be ANY cuter? I'm not a "pink girl" but on Valentine's Day (ok, during February)I make an exception. I also used the Zara shoes in a post a few weeks ago - they are so fabulous!

I've been all about the Vday cheer on my blog, so if you want extra hearts & pink, check it out:

Ohhhh that Miu Miu one piece. So gorgeous - swooning like crazy for it! I love that you celebrate Vday with your girlfriends. It really is a day to be cherished with all your loved ones, not just your significant other! Hope you have fun with them and also have a great night with your hubby. I'm rather excited for Vday too; lucky for me David likes to go all out with special occasions!
