Pantone chose it, and the designers ran with it! “Rose quartz” aka pastel pink is EVERYWHERE, and there is no better way to spend the day “blushing” with your sweetie than in this shift from lulus. This easy dress will look fabulous solo or topped with a jacket or longline vest. With sunny skies in the Bay Area forecast I styled it solo and accessorized with a tassel scarf. Similar to last weeks look, the scarf’s colorful pattern added just enough oomph to keep the ensemble interesting. I accessorized with classic pearls, and my favorite Seychelles shoes. I have yet to find an ensemble that these shoes do not look good with. Not to worry – have both of these items in your possession by the end of the week. Enjoy $7 2-Day shipping at lulus – no code, no minimum, and enjoy complimentary 1-Business day shipping at Zappos 365 days a year.

It would not be Valentine’s Day without something sweet, so when you find a treat that matches your outfit you know you’re really #winning. Thank you Sugarfina for the adorable Sugar Lips Gummies! These pretty little things are the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth and make for a fun and flirty accessory. I’m not sure which I like more…the candy or the blue bag!

I’ll be the first to admit that wearing maxi length anything can be a bit of a challenge, if you were blessed with a petite frame. On the other hand, I’ll also admit that maxi length garments will effortlessly elongate your figure. So, rather than paying your tailor to chop off a foot of fabric, the next time you are in the market for a maxi skirt, search for a “midi” instead. That is how I scored the Contemporary Vented-Hem Midi Skirt from Forever 21! While it hits the 5′ 9″ model at her mid calf, it falls right below my ankles.

“Olive” this piece for many reasons, the first of which is the color, obviously! The hip hugging silhouette is very flattering, and the back slit screams sassy. Thanks to the high waist, I was able to style this skirt with a Lace Yoke Cropped Top, in my new favorite neutral, blush. I accessorized with blush hues, toting a metallic rose clutch, and rose gold rhinestone earrings. If you live in a winter wonderland, top this look with a sherpa jacket and swap out the high heels for tall boots.

Without a plan in sight, I had no idea how I would style this jacket at the time of purchase. Luckily, I did know that it was too good to pass up, or it would have haunted me in my outfit dreams! Anyway, when you live in a moderate climate like San Francisco, you can never own enough lightweight jackets. I rarely leave the house without something to wrap up in once the sun goes down. Being a rather low key weekend, I paired this jacket with flare jeans. Although I debated over winter white, or traditional blue, I stuck with a classic hue hoping to accentuate the jacket’s tribal print. To pull out the golden tones I accessorized with a mustard purse and gold jewelry.
 

Make it a goal to shop with intention in 2016. You’ll quickly find yourself spending less money on more pieces you truly love and/or need.

When I laid eyes on this dress, one word came to mind…RETRO! There is something so fun about a full skirt like this. It reminds me of the dance off scene in the gymnasium in the movie Grease. No wonder I cannot help but twirl around in this little number! Aside from its great movement, the silhouette is ultra feminine. The fitted bodice and darts outline your figure nicely, while the open back adds a bit of flirty flair. The sweeping halter straps create just enough drama – something that is very necessary with a solid colored garment. To go along with the whole retro vibe, I paired this dress with vintage gold pearls and my new favorite heels (featured in last week’s Wish List Wednesday article). I polished off the look with a dainty box clutch, a pink lip, and high ponytail – the bow back is too good to coverup. How is that for some Old Hollywood glam?

Meet the flirty Flute! I love these shoes because they are suitable for dresses or jeans. Although also available in navy and black, I’m a sucker for some sparkle – hence the reason I’m crazy for the flute. The unique cut out style is not only edgy, but it will actually elongate the appearance of your legs. I don’t know about you, but I’m SOLD!

Hopeful is a dressier take on the Flute (pictured above). “Mary Janes” have been around for decades, but Seychelles has managed to modernize this classic style with gold leaf designs. How glamorous would these look with a little black dress?! Or paired with your winter white and pastel outfit! If you’re on the hunt for gold shoes, click here.

I always have faith in Seychelles when it comes to ankle boots. Faithful in taupe is just dreamy. The metallic heel is perfection. Let me put it to you this way, what can’t you wear neutral colored booties with?! Picture these kicks with colored denim and a poncho sweater. Or a faux suede skirt and blanket scarf. I think you catch my drift. What are you waiting for, get ’em here.
