Girls.

Well, Valentines Day is just a couple days away and this year it falls on a Friday-yikes! That means in all likelihood you are going to have do something with your night.  Well I guess you don’t HAVE to, but why not do something?  If you have a date then lovely, but if not- I say, spend time with your friends who you probably love more than that random person you met on Tinder last month anyway (seriously though).  Have a girl’s night out and get all dressed with your best ladies OR stay in and watch movies and eat delicious homemade food.   Don’t get me wrong I am thrilled to have an amazing Valentine nowadays, but it’s taken me a really long time to find him and if I’ve learned anything in my many years of dating before Eric, it’s that if the guy is not AMAZING- it’s always more fun to have a girls night.

That being said, since a lot of us won’t be available on Friday and we have a tradition of doing a dinner around Valentines Day, my girlfriends and I are all headed out to our favorite Mexican spot tonight.  It’s BYOB and it is always an absolute blast.  As important as it is to foster a romantic relationship, I think it’s also necessary to take time to appreciate the girls in your life who are also there to make all your days brighter.

I love this floral dress from H&M for a winter date night.  It's affordable, romantic, and it just may the perfect dress for your Friday night festivities. If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have noticed that I have developed a bit of a new obsession with florals and so it probably doesn't come as much of a surprise that this is one of my favorite picks for Valentines Day. 

I hope you all have a lovely night!

My Friday Best

October 25, 2013

Los Angeles, CA

This week has been a long one.

It’s been so busy, in fact, that forgetting a meal here and there (or qualifying skittles as lunch), staying up to do work later than the Jay Leno Show, and accepting six hours of sleep as the status quo have become quite the norm. YIKES!  

Which is why I’m thrilled that it’s Friday.

I hope your weekend is filled with Halloween festivities, lots of good food, and great relaxing slumbers (that’s my plan anyways).

Today, I’ve decided to finally wear, what I think, is one of the most beautiful fall dresses I’ve come across this season from Ruche.  It will undoubtedly make you feel gorgeous, even after an exhausting week and give you that perk you so truly deserve when headed into your Friday afternoon/evening festivities.  Since it’s still quite warm here in Southern California, I simply wore the dress with my new classic beige pumps, also from Ruche and dressed the look down a bit during the day by pairing it with a simple jean jacket from Forever 21. 

If it’s cooler where you are- you could pair this with a scarf and tights as well (these pumps look great with tights because of the cutouts!)

I plan to carry this look on over from my day into the evening for dinner with some friends.  The whole look is vintage inspired and simply classic- a perfect way to end the week.

Oh and by the way… can you believe the foliage in my neighborhood?  By the looks of these photos, you’d guess I was deep in the heart of New England.  I guess, though certainly not as drastic, California may have seasons after all.
