Valentine’s Day is exactly one week away and do you want to know what James and I have planned? Absolutely nothing.

Valentine's Day Outfit Idea / Love Sweater

In the 13+ years that James and I have been together, Valentine’s Day has been relatively low key. I remember during the first or second year, James ordered Olive Garden and brought it back to our dorms for “date night” as a throwback to one of the first times we hung out as just friends (ha!). I’ll admit, that every now and then, we’ll become suckers and opt for going out, only to be stiffed by a price-gouged prix fixe menus at jam packed restaurants. Très romantic.

In more recent years, we created a new tradition where I treat James to dinner out a few days before February 14 and he cooks me dinner on the day of (I’m talking grocery shopping, meal prep and dishes!). We had a good thing going when V Day was over the weekend, but it’s been a little more difficult on a weeknight. Last year, I wasn’t even in town! Instead, I was traveling for work and spent the evening with my colleagues at Buca di Beppo. I know, there seems to be a pattern with me and chain restaurants for Valentine’s Day. Not intentional, I swear!

Valentine's Day Outfit Idea / Love Sweater This year, I imagine it’s going to be another low key night. Don’t get me wrong, I love celebrating love (and wearing on my sleeve — or in the case of this sweater, on my chest). I just don’t need a specific day to celebrate it — just like I don’t need a specific reason to get flowers (hint hint James!). I’m sure James and I will celebrate in our own way over the weekend — chocolate included!

How do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? Are you all about it or are you low key? Let me know in the comments section below!

Just popping in to share a super cute, casual outfit that has me excited for spring.

Casual Spring Style / Striped Bell Sleeve Top

It’s going to be all about stripes and sleeves this season. And after wearing this bell sleeve t-shirt and denim leggings around San Diego this past weekend, I’m so ready to stash away my sweaters for the rest of the year. I’ve been patiently waiting as stores like LOFT, Ann Taylor and J.Crew slowly roll out new arrivals for spring. Are there any particular trends that you’re looking forward to come warmer weather? Let me know in the comments below!

How to Dress for the Winter in San Diego

BP turtleneck a line dress (comes in 4 color) / BP buffalo plaid oblong scarf / Chloe ‘Marcie’ crossbody bag in ‘Cashmere Grey’ / Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’ sunglasses / Converse ‘Chuck Taylor All Stars’ sneakers / Smashbox ‘Be Legendary’ matte lipstick in ‘Safe Word’

Whenever we visit the west coast in the winter, I get a little pang of jealousy as I imagine what life could be like if we just moved back home. I mean, bare legs in January? That’s a good enough reason to move back, right?

Pale Pink Long Sleeve Dress & Plaid Scarf

I guess “winter” is all relative though. All of my west coast friends get bundled up because it’s cold to them, while I’m out there without a jacket because it’s warm to me. My friends in the south are hoping for snow while I’m in NYC praying that we don’t get hit with a blizzard this season. The grass is always greener on the other side, isn’t it?

Pale Pink Long Sleeve Dress & Plaid Scarf

If I lived on the west coast permanently, my winter wardrobe would be full of light, layerable pieces like this long sleeve dress and buffalo plaid scarf, which I basically wore the entire week I was back home for the holidays. Not going to lie, west coast winters are the best kind of winters …. if you can even call it that!
