![Do you have any decor-related holiday traditions? 🎄
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A Christmas village has been part of my annual decorations for as long as I can recall! My mom put them on top of my piano when I was a little girl, and when I got older and moved out, I received some pieces of my own (with a few from my childhood mixed in). 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I chose to renovate my living room this year, I knew I’d need to find the perfect new space to display my village, come Christmas-time. This gorgeous @sauderusa cubby shelf felt like it was *made* to show off all my favorite pieces! 😍 It has been so much fun to find new ways to #SauderStyle these shelves over the last few months! 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each evening, I turn the lights on and feel a little bit of Christmas spirit come to life inside my heart. ✨ Which pieces would you want in your holiday village? 🏘️

Valentine’s Day is a little over two weeks away! Can you believe it?
Since my fiancé and I are saving up for our wedding, we will probably stay in and do something simple that night, but as long as we spend time together, it will be fun! Our first year of dating – because we were long distance – we Skyped and watched Spy Kids! 😂 I’ll never forget that. However, if we do get the chance to go out on the town, I will most likely wear this outfit!
While plenty of gals love a dress for Valentine’s Day, sometimes the plans we make on this holiday call for something more casual. That being said, I took the time to construct a sexier look revolving around a good pair of skinny jeans! One of my favorite ways to bring serious fire to a denim-based outfit is to add a pair of killer heels! Red is always a good color option, no matter the occasion, but it’s especially perfect for Valentine’s Day! These ruffle stilettos are the ideal statement shoe for a date night with your boo!

Do you want an outfit that is significant other-approved? This is a winner!
It only took one glance for my fiancé to stop and say, “Wow! You look great!” Now, as a fashion blogger, I wear a plethora of unique outfits, and my man is ridiculously sweet about them all; but when he actually pauses to just express his love for a certain ensemble, I know it’s something I’ll be wearing again on date night! Skinny jeans, a top that accentuates my chest (without showing all my goods), a badass leather jacket, and some heels? This is the recipe for one heck of a Valentine’s Day look!
I absolutely love mixing pink and red together. Those heels are darling too!
This is such a cute and casual V-Day outfit! I love the mix and matching of pink and red!

This outfit is sooo cute and those colors go so well together! I’d love to find a jacket like that without the print, so obsessed with it!
Dang you look SO CUTE. Love this!!
I absolutely love mixing pink and red together. Those heels are darling too!
Same here! They honestly compliment each other so well. The funny thing is that I remember a time when this color combo was as bizarre to people as black and brown – and now look at all the amazing styles that can come from them! 🙂
This is such a cute and casual V-Day outfit! I love the mix and matching of pink and red!
I’m so glad to hear that you like it! I can pretty much guarantee that it will be my V-Day outfit if we end up going out at any point haha!
I’m in love with those jeans and shoes! So pretty!
These jeans are unreal! I loved them so much after I purchased them that I went back and bought them in black as well. Now they’re the only two pairs of pants I pretty much ever wear!

Thanks a million! I was so happy when I found this cute little restaurant to shoot in front of. It matched my outfit so well haha!

I’m all about casual most of the time, so I feel you! After this shoot, I switched from heels to Superstars and the outfit was still super cute and perfect for a fun day out! You can’t go wrong with pink and red!
Love the red and pale pink paired together.
There’s nothing quite as beautiful and feminine as these two colors combined, in my opinion! They make me happy!
That’s very cute! I love the peachy-pink with the red
Thanks a million! In person, this jacket is the perfect blush and practically a neutral that goes with so much of my wardrobe. I love it!
This is such a cute outfit, love how you paired these colour combos together and those heels are killer! So gorgeous!
Thank you so much for all the love on this outfit! It’s definitely something I’ll be going back to over and over again!
Your shoes are so cute! What a cute Valentine’s Day outfit! So fun!
I seriously couldn’t believe it when I saw the $15 price tag on these shoes! Definitely a good statement pair to have in your shoe wardrobe!
Those shoes are everything 😍😍
I agree 100%! They’re just irresistible!
That jacket is so fun! Love the red pops!
Oh yay! I’m so glad to hear you love it. I’m a huge fan of pops of bright color. It just brings such life to an outfit!

Dang you look SO CUTE. Love this!!
Awww that’s so sweet of you! Thanks a million for the love! Have a wonderful week.
Loving the casualness of this outfit but still so fun and flirty:) This year I am dressing down for a casual dinner!
xoxo, Hannah
Flirty is a great way to describe this look! I kept titling it “sexy” but it’s still even a little less than that, which I love. It’s perfect for a fun, casual date! I hope you have a great Valentine’s Day.
Really like this cute Valentine’s Day outfit. I especially love the red sandals. They are so nice!
Can you believe they’re only $15!? I was seriously shocked when I saw that! I knew I needed them right away!
I love this look for Valentine’s Day! My husband and I are keeping it low key too. I’m all about this outfit because as much as I would love to wear a dress, it is too cold in Chicago for that haha!

Oh my gosh I totally feel you on the weather. It’s been super up and down in Richmond so it could either be in the 70’s or snowing haha! No in between lately, so I’m sure staying inside will be a good idea for us too. Hope you have a wonderful time celebrating Valentine’s Day!
That’s very cute! I love the peachy-pink with the red
Thanks a million! In person, this jacket is the perfect blush and practically a neutral that goes with so much of my wardrobe. I love it!

AWWW thank you! I seriously love hearing that. He did so good when he picked it out. Rose gold band, with a morganite stone in the center, and a beautiful ring of tiny diamonds along the sides. Simple, elegant, and so perfect for me!
Okay I am ALL about casual style this vday! I love how you paired the pink and red (the pins add the perfect pop!)
