This Valentine’s Day whether you are single, taken or in a “complicated relationship”, my girlfriends and I have got you covered on what you can wear, no matter the occasion. These looks will take you from a fun night out with your girls to a date night with your guy.
My best piece of advice when searching for something to wear is to not feel like you have to stick to just red or pink. Also remember that even if you opt to not wear the traditional colors, that you can always accessorize with those colors instead!
In preparation of Valentine’s Day coming up, I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate the biggest love day than with all of my girl’s and the one thing I love the most – WINE! Boys come and go but your girlfriends and wine just seem to get better with time 🙂 Cheesy? Hey, at least it pairs well with the wine right!
Sonoma Wine Bar & Restaurant opened their doors for us to enjoy a night on their rooftop patio complete with rosé and light bites (if you consider sliders and several bowls of fries light). Of course the fries were the first thing we finished off if I remember correctly. Other favorites included zucchini chips with with lemon yogurt sauce (YUM!), fried cheese curds with tomato curry sauce, deviled eggs, mushroom pizza, cheeseburger sliders, sesame crusted ahi tuna with soy glaze, and the poutine (my personal fav). Clearly our motto for ladies night was “leave no food behind”.
Whether you are single, tied down or just want a night for the girls, Galentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to get the girls together and have a good time. In case it wasn’t already obvious what Galentine’s day means, it is simply celebrating Valentine’s Day or activities with your gals. If you are needing some ideas of fun things to do with your gals, I’ve listed my plans as well as a few others below.
Wine Night: You can never go wrong here. Whether you all hit up a local favorite like Sonoma, or decide to keep the party at home, wine, cheese, and girlfriends are the perfect match.
Chick Flick: My roomies and I have already decided that we will be seeing 50 Shades Darker. There are always chick flicks that come out right in time for Valentine’s Day so grab the girls and see a movie that you know you couldn’t drag your men to.
Pinterest Craft: You know all of those artsy crafts that you pin but never actually have the time for? Pick one out together and have everyone make the same craft. I hear wine enhances artistic abilities 😉
Slumber Party: O to be young again! Adult sleepovers are probably the most under rated thing of the century. All of my friends know that I am a huge proponent of these. Invite the girls over, make a pallet to watch movies, and bust out the wine and chocolate!
Spa Day: Can’t get away for an entire night? Plan a spa day complete with manis, pedis, massages and girl talk! All girls know it’s way more fun to do these things when you are not alone!
The common theme with all of these things? Wine and your best gals 😉

Now that the countdown to Christmas is in the single digits, all of us last minute shoppers are kicking it into gear. You would think that with all of these gift guides and holiday inspiration that I would have my Christmas shopping done but sadly that is not the case. It wouldn’t be Christmas without a 24th hour shopping trip on Christmas Eve for this girl 😉
Christmas shopping is one of my favorite times of the year so I usually try to make an entire day out of it. So while not all of my shopping is done, I was able to knock a few people off of my list this weekend at River Oaks Shopping Center. I specifically love going here because it truly is a one stop shop for everyone on my list. See some of my favorite places to shop for each person below.
The corporate gal: Ann Taylor, White House|Black Market, GAP
The active one: RYDE, Evolve Fitness Studio, Pure Barre
For Mom: Talbots, J. McLaughlin, Sur la Table, Chico’s
For Dad: Sunglass Hut, Jos A. Bank, Barnes & Noble, Luke’s Locker, V’s Barbershop
Spa gifts: Nail-tique, International Derma Spa, Full Blown Dry Bar
The food lover: Americas, Brasserie 19, Macaroon by Patisse, La Griglia Restaurant
Depending on how successful shopping goes, I almost always reward myself with California Pizza Kitchen and/or Nail-tique for a pampering session. After all the giving season isn’t just for everyone else. You deserve a little pampering too!
So if you are anything like me and have yet to finish up your holiday shopping, River Oaks Shopping Center is a great alternative to battling the massive crowds elsewhere. Cheers to checking everyone off of your list and Merry Christmas, friends!

Happy Monday friends, Cyber Monday that is! If you didn’t get everything you wanted during the Black Friday deals, you lucked out because many of the Cyber Monday deals are just as good if not better. Since I spent Black Friday buying for myself (#guilty), I plan on finishing up my holiday shopping today for everybody else! If you don’t see a retailer below that you are interested in, please let me know and I will get it added to the list. Happy shopping friends and may the (sale) odds be ever in your favor 🙂
