Oh hey there, happy Valentine's Day!! No matter if or how you celebrate, I'm over here wishing you a day of love and happiness and hopefully a little champagne and chocolate! Okay, a lot of chocolate ;)

If you are celebrating the "holiday," what are you up to? We just have plans for a little dinner date, and I have plans to wear this cute bell-sleeve dress. I usually don't dress up for Valentine's Day, but I decided to go for it this year - there are so few reasons for me to dress up in Chicago that I have to take them when I can get them! Jeff and I never go too crazy for Valentine's Day as far as presents, but I always do something little to show him some love - this year I went for a card and his favorite candy. That I hope to have a few bites of too ;)

So not to do a complete 180, but are you super super super over winter at this point? I look in my closet every day and am totally uninspired because I've worn every sweater in there approximately nine thousand times in a row. Which is why I went on a little LOFT binge when they were having one of their many 40% off sales, and ended up coming home with this cute striped lace-up back sweater. I love that the shape is a little different than most of my sweaters - something about it being slightly cropped and boxy makes me think I'm a character in That '70s Show in the best way possible. Plus, I mean, the lace-up back. Dyyyyying. I think I only have one item with a lace-up front because they're usually way too low-cut for me, but a lace-up back? Perfection!

To go along with my new sweater, I'm also super excited about my new wood watch from JORD! I had kind of been over-doing it with my other watches, so I was so excited when JORD reached out to me about partnering. They make really unique watches because they're made out of wood. So cool! JORD makes men's and women's watches, and I love the women's versions because they're big without being too oversized. The watch they sent me is such a beautiful blonde maple - isn't it pretty?! I've basically been wearing it non-stop, the blonde color seriously goes with everything.

If you're looking for a pretty new watch for yourself then I have a little Valentine's Day surprise for you!
