Tory Burch Valentine’s Day Collaboration
Valentine’s Day is around the corner and I am thrilled! Not only am I a sucker for a day devoted to telling those close to you that you love them, but also my anniversary is a week later. February really is a month filled with love. One of our favorite designers, Tory Burch, teamed up with renowned artist Leanne Shapton to design an exclusive collection of items for Valentine’s Day. The collection is made up of cosmetic cases, totes and pajama sets.
The collaboration resulted in two prints, the watercolor Tory logo and the lips prints. Both are done in hues of red, perfectly suited for Valentine’s day. My pick goes to the lips print (I ordered the pajama set yesterday!) though the watercolor Tory print has a colorful whimsical touch.
The tote is perfect to use for multiple occasions. The body of the bag is canvas with leather trim. On the inside there are two interior pockets. The cosmetic case makes for a great gift as well! It is also canvas with leather trim and a cut out logo at the center.
Buy the totes via Tory Burch for $195 and cosmetic cases for $55.
The pajama sets I adore! I have always had an affinity to long arm and leg button up pj sets. All I want to do is wear my pajamas and sit in front of a fire with a mug of hot chocolate. AMAZING. The pajama sets are 100% cotton.
Buy via Tory Burch for $125.
Log on Valentine’s Day for an exclusive follow up to this post!

>> Kristen McMenamy on Having "Fat Day[s]" -Kristen McMenamy has worked with the best, but much as Lara Stone recently said she's tired of being the "fat one," Kristen admits that she, too, finds faults with her body: "I have to say though, I like my body more than my face. I never liked my face, it was always not right. Sometimes it looks good in a picture. We’re all the same: I can have a fat month and I can feel totally horrible in my skinny jeans, and then the next month I can be four pounds less and I’ll feel great . . . I know people will hate me saying that – I’m a model – but the way you feel in your mind is the same. In your head it’s a fat day. And I look at people who are curvy and I am crazy with jealousy over them. The truth is that even I am fooled by magazines. I look at Heat or something like that and I think ‘they’re all so gorgeous, they all have perfect wardrobes, and perfect bodies and blah blah blah,’ and here I am a model! I still fall for it. I put down Heat and I hate my face. So if I can be fooled everyone can be fooled.” [LOVE]
Believe it or not, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I am a fan of the day of romance, in spite of the overblown commercialism. A true romantic at heart I adore all things pink, girly, and sweet – but all in good taste of course. And even better if there is an edge to the sweetness! Can you say
