Casual Valentine's Day Look in Old Navy Pink Stripe T-shirt and denim jacket

VALENTINE’S DAY STYLE: LACE DRESS AND LACE UP HEELS

Valentine's Day Date Night - Lace dress and lace up heels

I already mentioned it here, but I’m an unashamed fan of Valentine’s Day. I like wearing a bit of pink now and then and I like any excuse to wear a pair of knockout heels. Even if it’s just to cook a special dinner in our tiny kitchen. And even though Adam and I don’t have big plans for next weekend, at least I’ve got the outfit ready now.

VALENTINE’S DAY GIFTS FOR HIM & HER

I know this is slightly controversial.. but I happen to really like Valentine’s Day. And not just because I’m in a relationship. In fact, among some of my favorite Valentine’s Days memories were the ones spent with my best girl friends, drinking cheap beer and crafting homemade cards for each other. These days, Adam and I usually make dinner at home or go on a little adventure together somewhere in the city. As far as gifts go, if we do exchange I try to keep it small and sentimental – like a framed piece of artwork that reminds me of a shared memory (the one pictured above is from Minted which has an amazing selection, save 15% off their entire fine art selection with code VALENTINE16) or a vintage record to add to our collection. If you’re in need of a few more ideas.. for her, nothing beats pretty lace or a bit of sparkle and for him, luggage tags to prep for an upcoming trip or classic sunglasses are no-fail. And if you’re not shopping for someone in particular? How about you #treatyoself – because whether you are for or against the holiday, everyone could use a little extra love in the middle of winter, right?

Starting off a new week with a fresh coat of snow and some happy new wardrobe additions… doing my best to ward off the Winter blues. This past weekend was freezing again in New York and cabin fever started to set in on Saturday.. until this happy heart sweater from Talbots (and lots of chocolate candies) showed up unsuspectingly on my door and turned my mood right around.

VALENTINE’S DAY GIFT GUIDE

The Steele Maiden: Valentines Day Gift Guide for him and for her
Ahh…  Valentine’s Day. A holiday people either love to love – or love to hate. Me? I vote love. Always. So I’ve been showing you what to wear no matter how you’re celebrating (girls night out, on the couch with Netflix, or full on romance), but I thought a little round-up of gifts could be helpful too.
