Things I’m Digging – Valentine’s Day Looks
January 27, 2015I’m sure you may know by now but I am always on the hunt for the ultimate red dress. I found a fabulous little lace number for around the holiday season that was super affordable. To give you plenty of time before the holiday I have rounded up a few accents pieces for you.
Also if you need any inspiration for potential present ideas. Don’t worry I have you covered. This purse and this watch are at the top of my list.
What do you usually do for Valentine’s Day? This year we most likely will be running around like crazy with all the last minute details but I hope to be able to sneak away for some together time with a great bottle glass of wine. I used to always go out with my girlfriends for a high end dinner and then out and about before Mr. Mark came into my life. Now 3 years later look how far we’ve come. Seriously aren’t I getting so sentimental towards the end??? Yikes. Don’t worry my cynical snappy self is still in here. I just do happen to love February xoxoxoxo
So cute that Mark was a half hour early because he didn’t want you to have to be waiting. I love hearing about first dates and how we met stories. Scott and I are usually very low key, actually our first two years we went to the same place for vday and then last year he cooked us dinner at home :)
first, give me anything in this pic. and second, omg he came early so you wouldn’t have to be alone??? winner right there.
Awww, what a sweet dating story. Love that you threw out Valentine’s day, hahaha, ooooops!
I love the pink and the red looks, so cute and sweet. And love that you’re so sappy, haha. My husband and I usually keep it low key for Valentine’s day. We always exchange cards, but it’s usually a yummy dinner cooked at home. I don’t need the fancy, I just need the love :)!
Have a great day!
Aww you and Mark are so cute!! I don’t ever do dates on Valentine’s Day. I just can’t deal with the rush of people. I will take everything on your gift list though! :-) I have that bauble bar ring and I love it!!
I love Mark stories – just the cutest ever!!! I like a cozy night in with a seriously delicious dinner and good movie…so nothing crazy lol!! I could go for a new pair of sunglasses! xo, Biana – BlovedBoston
I love that story of you guys–you’ve come full circle now! :)
Love all of the red dress looks, especially the one in the second row.
My husband and I don’t really do anything major big for Valentines Day–we do cards and a small gift (the hubby usually sends flowers–last year was 2 months before our wedding and he sent me flowers that were the same flowers from my wedding bouquet). I just like the quality time with him, and a card. I live for a card with a sweet message :)
“Never give up a Friday or Saturday until it’s earned.” GIRL YES. Love this!
Love this shot of you and Mark- what a gorgeous couple.
And amazing Valentine’s picks!

That Asos dress is gorgeous! We normally go out to a nice dinner but this year we’re getting massages and facials then hanging out at home, I’m looking forward to it.
aww what a cute story!! im so excited for you two!! the big day is almost here :) xo jillian – cornflake dreams
How cute are you two?? Loving all these red and pink goodies! Brian actually has the day off which is a small victory in itself since weekends free are rare!
You are so close, will be here before you know it. Too cute he was early and you were late. Ha! Love the red and white ASOS dress. Stunning.
Loving that full midi red skirt! So cute! Love all the sweet gestures during the courting stage! So sweet!
I LOVE all your dress/outfit picks – if I could justify buying one of them, I probably would. Our Valentine’s Day is going to be pretty low-key this year, I think. We would rather put money toward our home renovations instead of getting silly gifts for each other. PLUS, my birthday is two weeks after, so I’m never too hard on Ryan. :)
Love that story about you two! How cute is that?! I love February too! Who doesn’t love celebrating love?!
That is a funny first date story! Love your present picks, especially that mug and the tulle skirt. Our Vday is always low key because it’s smack in the middle of busy season for my hubs.
Such a sweet story of you two. Those outfits you chose are all SO pretty and would look awesome on you!
Awww, what a cute first date story, love it! I LOVE the dresses you picked out, and I would gladly take any of those goodies as a present! I love that coffee mug, that’s hilarious! :)
Pretty picks! My bday is Jan. 28th and Adam’s is Feb. 12, so Valentine’s Day gets a little pushed aside. We’re tired of eating out and spending money, so at that point we normally just order sushi in and watch Netflix. Pretty perfect to me.
We do nothing. That sounds so horrible, but it;s true. I think I bought G a houseplant last year. Maybe two, because I was feeling frisky.
Great picks, loving the lace bralette- so cute! We never do anything crazy, but exchanging cards is a must! Maybe a nice dinner out, and a little gift never hurts!
Aww, love the first date story…”never give up a Friday or Saturday”…I had rules when I met Jason and they quickly went out the window once I realized he was quite geniune!
I want ALL of the red dresses! And that jumpsuit? Fabulous!! We usually keep things low key for Valentines Day – just a nice dinner out but this year I’m considering mixing it up and doing fondue at home!
I have a love/hate with Valentine’s Day. I love to go out to a nice dinner, but it’s always SO packed everywhere that it kind of takes the intimacy out of it. Also they’re randomly bringing a giant waterslide thing to downtown West Palm on Vday this year so… slip & slide???
I love the story of your first day lol! So many fun picks!!
why did you do this to me?? i want ALL OF IT. seriously. i love v-day stuff!
We’re really laid back, low key for V-day… who can celebrate when you have to work all day? #fuddypeople :)
Steve and I don’t make a big day about Valentines Day bc our anniversary is 2 weeks later (Feb 29th… Leap Day… I know, I’m weird) and then his birthday is just a week later. We do cards and something small, and I’m thinking that coffee mug would be a fantastic gift! I’m also going to look at a few of those outfits for our anniversary dinner.
Aww that is so sweet that he got there early so you wouldn’t have to wait!

How SWEET. Seriously.
And I will take one of each, please! ;)
I think we’re doing a low-key V-day this year. We’ll probably cook at home with a bottle of wine.
Those dresses make me want to go somewhere fancy for V Dday. We’ll probably be lame and just stay home. Wait till you get married, you get boring and frugal!

I’ve honestly never been crazy over Valentine’s Day. Even when I had a boyfriend. Last year I was dating someone but spent it with my parents, who were visiting from MN, in San Marcos. This year I’m not dating anyone but I’m going to a rodeo in San Antonio with a friend, who got married back in October, & chose that day to go to the rodeo with me haha. Some of those dresses are super cute though.
Love the French Connection lace fit and flare dress, the tulle skirt, and your bandage dress. I have to work on Valentines Day until 7 pm so we will probably just have dinner and wine at home. All of those outfits make me want to go out though haha. Cute story about you and Mark too, and that picture of you guys is beautiful. :-)
omg i love the story. i’m totally a tuesday/wednesday date kind of girl. i went on one last friday and was like who am i?? oh just a girl who needs free drinks and a nice face to look at, i guess i can oblige. ahhaah
I’m not into Valentine’s Day. However, I love the pink and red combos all over. I even got pretty V Day socks. ;) This year, as a newlywed, we are just staying home and cooking together. Relaxed, easy, affordable and fun. ;) I prefer nights like that.
Oh my gosh the wedding is getting SO close! Eek! February is just going to be a good month all around!
Such a great collection of Valentine’s Day things, I love the “treat yourself” bag!
so many great dresses! The lace one is probably my favorite, though! We normally lay pretty low for Valentine’s day but maybe that will change this year!
hahahaha I want to get MFD that mug. That’s hilarious.
We usually just make dinner and dessert at home. I hate going out to restaurants with fixed menus and big crowds on days like valentine’s day. It’s a Hallmark holiday anyway.
Those dresses are fabulous! Perfect for Valentines Day :)
We’re not big on Valentines Day and usually stay in. I’ll make something special like a pot of fondue and we’ll have champagne by the fire pit outside, but nothing fancy. We’re both allergic to seafood so all the fixed menus (comprising of mostly seafood) and crowds keep us away from restaurants that time of year.
Love the forever 21 dress!
Ohhh I love that first dress in the second row!! They are all cute outfits!!
We normally stay in for Valentine’s Day and I make homemade lasagna with homemade sauce and we sometimes might have some wine. I bought these super cute glasses our first Valentine’s Day together, and I pull them out every year to use. Little did I know when I bought those glasses that I would be engaged the next weekend!!
we really don’t celebrate valentines day – it’s too close to my birthday so we just do my birthday (fine by me!). and aw how cute he rocked up early so you wouldn’t have to wait… true love ;)
Loving all those red dresses! Already looking forward to it warming up around here to wear cute dresses again.
obsessed with that black long sleeve top and red skirt look. even for a non valentine’s event! and y’all are just too cute – and i can’t believe the wedding is so soon! me? i’ll probably be watching some 50 shades and drinking. so, like a normal weekend ha.

I am seriously obsessed with finding a cool jumpsuit. Not sure I can pull off strapless… could be dangerous wardrobe malfunction territory lol. But that is really cute!
I always have the hardest time finding a good red dress, I’ll definitely be checking those out :)
I love the fact that he got there a half hour early so you wouldn’t show up first! I have never owned or even tried on a red dress in my entire life but I am trying to dress up more on dates instead of being so casual all of the time. The long sleeved black top with the red skirt is a really cute happy medium that I wouldn’t have thought of before!
Um the F21 jumpsuit is so hot! But so is the Asos dress. I’m thinking I need one of the two and we go out for a change and brave all the young lovers this year ;)
Your story about your first date is just adorable. That’s an awesome rule! Totally wish I would’ve come up with that one. Oh well, I have a daughter to pass the knowledge along to. (;
Such a cute first date story! And I love all of these picks!

Such a sweet story! I love that pic of you two in black & white. And that Kate Spade watch- to die for. XO
Uh, can I have all of these items?? That would be awesome.
Love all the looks! You are so close to the wedding!!! eeks Im getting excited :)
My boyfriend & I started dating 2 days before Valentine’s Day, so your story is sweet :). Love all those gift ideas!!
You guys are so darn cute together… I can’t wait to see your wedding pics! GAHHH!
I love that deal about “earning” weekend dates! You should write a book! hahah
Bahaha! That short little first date story is so cute :) Cracks me up that you were late and he was early :) I love little red dresses! So many of these are very pretty! Hopefully your able to enjoy one last Valentine’s day as an unmarried couple just DAYS before your wedding! Oh my goodness! It’s coming up so fast! :) My husband and I are lame and do NOTHING for Valentine’s day. Ever. Even before we were old and married. ha! :)
