Valentine’s Day Treats and Trinkets

I gave myself permission to take a long weekend…at least around here. So, apologies for my absence on Monday. I promise not to make it a regular occurrence.

What’s the best part about February…aside from New York Fashion Week, of course? Valentine’s Day, duh! Although I will be curbing my sweet tooth and trying not to indulge too much this year (oh, those Entenmann’s Valentine’s Day cupcakes are calling my name, though), I thought I would round up some cute gift ideas for yourself, a BFF, or significant other.

Lately, I am all about cozy sweatshirts that look just as good worn while laying on the couch and binge-watching your favorite show as they do paired with skinny jeans and a tailored coat. So how could I resist that XOXO number above in a super festive color? That’s right, I couldn’t. And in keeping with the XO trend, let’s give those red flats a moment. I could see rocking those babies well after Valentine’s Day.

Heading to a Valentine’s Day party? How about bringing decadent festive cupcakes, an appropriately themed heart plate from Williams-Sonoma for the hostess, or fun cocktail napkins for guests?

So, even if you are on a sugar detox like me, there are still plenty of ways to show your love and get into the Valentine’s Day spirit.

What are your favorite Valentine’s Day gifts?
