Happy Valentine’s Day sweet readers! While so many find Valentine’s Day ridiculous, I happen to love the holiday. Whether you are in a romantic relationship or not, I fully believe today is about celebrating the people in your life who bring you love– whoever that may be. Enjoy it! xx

I’m super excited to be participating in a contest with French Connection and Gilt City this week! Participants were asked to come up with a Pinterest board showcasing a look made up of their favorite items from FCUK’s new line, while sticking to a $1000 budget. Everyone is so big on dresses for Valentine’s Day, but I thought it might be fun to pair a sweet pink skirt with a comfier top, and add some crystal jewelry made with Swarvoski elements to keep it dressy. I would LOVE for you to head on over to the contest and vote for my outfit. If your name is selected, you could win this entire look!

Last week, I received the softest, most adorable pair of boxer shorts, and I have had a hard time taking them off ever since.

Paxton1345 is a new line of boxers for men & women, made in the U.S. of A and designed right here in Boston. Designer and founder Erin Cormier is not a nightgown girl, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want her nightwear to be flattering! She has taken the comfiness of men’s boxers and tucked//trimmed//folded them down to look great on girls as well. My favorite part? The New England feel and pride behind them– each design is named after a local area, from Nantucket to Newport, Beantown to Brookline.

I can guarantee I’ll be lounging around in these all summer, but until bare legs become a little more bearable, I’ve loved layering them over leggings!

Leggings, Anthropologie [similar]

If you’re in the area, I’m sure you’ve already seen the line popping up in local boutiques, but boxers can also be purchased online here for women and here for men (Valentine’s Day anyone??). My only tip: they are very tailored, so if you’re planning on wearing them loose and loungey, I would size up :)

Have I mentioned that I adore this brand?

Disclosure: I was provided a pair of boxers for review; all opinions expressed are my own.

Happy Valentine’s Day lovers! I’m loving all of these pink + red shoes in honor of today. I’m a big fan of Valentine’s Day if for nothing else than all of the people who do get into it and dress the part :)
