The Single Girl’s Guide to Valentine’s Day

I will never understand why single girls dread Valentine’s Day. I love it. Pink and sparkly are two of the best things in life, and that’s what this day is basically all about. You have an excuse to dress girly, eat candy and drink a lot of booze – boyfriend or not. How can you hate that? So here’s my single girl’s guide to enjoying Valentine’s Day, Ray Ray style.

Wear a cute (or cheesy) outfit. Today you can girl-it-up and no one can make fun of you for it. Seriously, go all out. Wear pink, red, sequins, hearts…all of the above… Really, anything your girly heart desires is fair game on this holiday.

Heart tights

Own the fact you’re single. A shirt like this says it all:

Vodka is my valentine

Two words – Nail Polish. Take the time to do your nails special for the day. It’s a surefire way to wake up happy when your hands look like this:

Eat an obscene amount of Conversation Hearts. This is the only time of year you can buy the best candy ever made. So enjoy it and have two boxes. Or give them to me. Either way.

Accessorize. What better day than Valentine’s Day to carry this around with you everywhere you go?

Pink Flask

Drink pink champagne. You never need an excuse to pop bottles and for Valentine’s Day you are kind of obligated to do so – so this one is obvious. Grab a fancy glass and let loose.

Make heart-shaped food. Valentine’s Day is a perfect reason to make yourself themed food, which will in turn make you happy. Put together a special lunch, breakfast or dinner (or go crazy and do all three) with heart-shaped and red/pink-colored foods. How can you not have fun with a lunch that looks like this!

So if you are one of those single girls still sippin on a big glass of Valentine’s Day haterade, trust me – the holiday doesn’t have to be miserable. Take some of these notes and you will spend the day looking through rose-tinted glasses. Literally. See what I did there? Hahaha…

Fashion Confusion: Denim on Denim

It’s back…

Not Britney & Justin, just the newest fashion trend I can’t pull off: denim on denim. This trend seems to be as controversial as leggings as pants and puffy vests – two more trends I’ve tried and failed.

Walking into Old Navy this weekend – yes, I love Old Navy – there was a whole wall of denim, button down tops. I immediately knew I had to have one…

I’m panicking because there are so many ways I can dress up my denim:

  • Tall boots and skinny jeans?
  • Ankle boots and straight leg jeans?
  • Add a necklace?
  • Add a scarf?
  • Belt it?
  • Statement earrings?

When I wore my D.O.D., I chose to wear skinny jeans, grey boots and a pink scarf. Still not sure how I feel about it. I definitely didn’t look like one of these fabulous ladies…

So what do you think? Love or hate the look?

Help.
