{Thirsty Thursday: Raspberry Chocolate Kiss}

Happy Valentine’s Day, lovebugs!! I love Valentine’s Day, it’s an excellent excuse to dress up all in pink and red and we know tomorrow candy will be on super sale. What’s not to love?

Maybe you are like me and have to work tonight but fear not, you can still participate in all the fun by assembling a Valentine’s Day-inspired ensemble! I subscribe to the “If you look great, you’ll do great” philosophy so shake off the “Is it Friday yet?” slump by brightening up your work outfit.
