B Splurged: Valentine's Day gifts for men

As Valentine's Day is more than a week away it is the women who are planning out their gifts. Since we are planners I thought it'd be appropriate to share the men's gift guide first. There aren't too many men that love the holiday that requires them to give you flowers that will die or write a mushy love note so that is why I think the men should really get something they want on this day. Forget about what he needs and splurge on him so he will love to splurge on you.

2. Michael Kors Black Stainless Steel Watch -$250
3. Jawbone Bluetooth Headset -$130
4. Lacoste Marlinglow Sneaker -$70
5. Jack Spade Bacon Money Clip -$65
6. W World Time Clock -$79
7. Silicone Ice Ball Maker -$12
8. Carrera Hots Aviator Sunglasses -$120

B Cuddled: Love pillows

It is that time where the grocery stores are covered in red and pink, every restaurant has a couple special and romantic comedies are the movie channels fallback. I'm trying to not make those typical single girl I hate Valentine's Day comments this year and just enjoy it for what it is, a day to celebrate love because regardless of your relationship status there must be someone you love. I get giddy with all the red hearts and pink accents come around so while I may not have someone to fill that his pillow, I certainly can admire it for its beauty or simply hide it away and keep the hers or just have some LOVE.

Cambria Cove $50

Jonathan Adler $98

Urban Outfitters $34

Pillow Pallooza on Etsy $130

B Featured: dressbarn blogger spotlight

Just as I told you yesterday, I am now featured on dressbarn's facebook page as their blogger spotlight. It has been so much fun working with the dressbarn brand and I really have grown to check their new looks frequently.  Here is a portion of the spotlight that is featured, go to the dressbarn facebook page to read more of my answers to dressbarn's questions like the one where I admit to have holding on to a certain piece of clothing since high school....

B Impulsive: House of Harlow 1960 jewelry

Just last week I was scrolling twitter minding my own business (by stalking others) and read a tweet by @lunaboston linking a video showcasing the new House of Harlow 1960 collection by Nicole Ritchie that just arrived. Luna Boston does a great job in their social media by showcasing their new items in videos which gives the product more life rather than just staged photos. Luckily for me at the end of the video there was a bit of a contest so I did what I did best, switched over to lunaboston.com and did some impulse buying.

I was very surprised and impressed at the price points of the House of Harlow 1960  jewelry and was comforted when it arrived that the quality out weighed the price. My first must have was the mixed media oversized ring. The most expensive piece I purchased but the standout with different embellishments all filled with a different texture. In the video by Luna Boston the starburst earrings were worn and I couldn't resist adding them to my stud collection. Thanks to my quick impulse shopping I was gifted the House of Harlow resin dome ring by their choice. I couldn't be happier with their selection because I wear gold daily and the style is nothing like I have.
