Pretty in Pink

Pretty in Pink was an excellent movie and it’s also a wonderful way to dress.  Pink is powerful so pink on pink really makes a statement.  With colorblocking being all the rage, I put together this fun look colorblocking different shades of pink, red, and orange, but mostly pink.  I’d love to wear something like this to one of the summer horse races either upstate or on Long Island that I fully plan on attending this summer.

Here’s How to Achieve this ‘Pretty in Pink’ Look:

1.  kate spade new york Baublebox Bib Necklace:  A very colorful ‘cherry on top’ of this entire outfit.  You can find this kate spade necklace at Zappos.  I would recommend keeping the rest of the accessories in this look to a minimum since this necklace is so prominent and the outfit is so bright.

2.  Gerbera Flats:  These fab fuchsia flats with adorable bows in the front fit true to size with their off red adjustable straps and are available at Anthropologie.

3.  BCBGMAXAZRIA Sleeveless Colorblock Dress:  Love the colorblocking elements in this BCBG jersey dress available at SHOPBOP.com.

4.  Marc by Marc Jacobs Colorblocked Top Handle Satchel:  Satchel bags are fun to carry and this purse compliments the dress perfectly.  Plus, it’s big enough the fit all your stuff.  This bag is currently sold at Zappos.

5.  La Mer Collections Neon Simple Wrap Watch:  Neon is so in for spring!  I’m obsessed with La Mer’s collection of watches that can be wrapped uniquely around your wrist with quality Italian leathers.  This watch is available at SHOPBOP.com.

Valentine’s Day Gifts Inspired By Romantic Comedies

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.  As a single lady, I always feel very left out of this sometimes overrated holiday.  But, I love the movies and the gifts.  Therefore, I think it’s awesome how the Valentine’s Day gifts I’ve been lusting over tie in so well with some of my fav romantic comedies.  I miss the Valentine’s Days in the early years of grade school when I would wake up to a basket of chocolates and money for me from my parents at the breakfast table followed by a day at school of doing absolutely no work, eating candy, and exchanging V-day cards with everyone in class.  Now, I walk around the city on this epic lovers’ holiday surrounded by thousands of people carrying around flowers and chocolates either for or from their significant other.  It’s depressing.

This year, however, I’m planning ahead by coming up with festive activities I can participate in such as a champagne induced dance party in my apartment to Beyonce’s Single Ladies followed by a screening of a romantic comedy.  I have’t seen Friends With Benefits yet so I think I may go with that movie.  Let me know if you want to join.
