Okay, bear with me here, people. Like I said, I gotta love a holiday where excessive chocolate consumption is strongly encouraged, if not mandatory. AND it’s a long weekend!!! * Happy dance party *
My mom + Tommy are coming down to DC for the weekend so I cannot wait for a long weekend of ordering in, wine, DIYs and lots of laughing to start!
P.S. The quote above is from my dad’s + my song, I wish he was able to spend the weekend, too!
Whether you’re single or not (#single), on Valentine’s Day, you can sip, snack, and DIY to your heart’s content with this round up:
SHOP
In case you missed my Valentine’s Day gift + outfit guide, I did the heavy lifting to bring it to you! Are you feeling the love? 😉
And if you need to pick up a last-minute piece to polish off your G/Valentine’s outfit, J.Crew Factory is 40-50% off in stores AND online with code LOTSTOLOVE. I love the zipper detailing on this sweater, so easy to throw on with leggings + boots for brunch!
Last weekend when I thought I might get a new iPhone after my charger kicked the bucket, I browsed Kate Spade for iPhone 6 cases. And this case was my favorite but alas not meant to be…right now.
SIP
Looking for a cocktail to go with the lovey-dovey theme? Cherub’s Cup gives you two of my all-time favorite cocktail ingredients: muddle strawberries and brut sparkling rosé. For that, I’ll overlook the gin.
If you still haven’t tried my raspberry mint rosé fizz, I won’t take it personally but you are seriously missing out on one of the greatest (and easiest) cocktails!
Love means always having guacamole and the ingredients to make a blood orange mojito on hand.
BAKE + COOK
Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies. ‘Nuff said.
Looks + sounds super adult and fancy, but these goat cheese stuffed chicken breasts are foolproof!
I want you, I need you, oh baby, oh baby.
DIY
A FREE printable from Studio DIY that Leslie Knope would definitely endorse.
Create a sanctuary with a couple of ingredients to make this lavender linen spray.
GILDED MACARONS? Yes, please!
