Valentine's Day Beauty

Valentine's day is the perfect time to celebrate friendships, your relationships, and even your family.Whether you're single or in a relationship (congrats!) you can still have fun and enjoy the day. Sit back with a box of chocolates and test out one (or all) of these three accessories to help you get in the spirit of this years V-Day.

Wildfox Couture Sequin Heart V Neck Sweater ($178)- Valentines day is the perfect excuse to wear hearts. Instead of going over board with a big, tacky sweater (save that for Christmas), this sweater gives a classic twist to your valentines day outfit.

The Bold

Best Dressed: Grammy Awards

The Grammy's is considered the biggest music show on television and is personally my favorite award show of the season. Although the music and performances are always fun to watch, I love watching celebrities strut their stuff down the red carpet or across the stage.

Usually the Grammy's have some... unusual fashion choices {flashback to J-Lo circa 2000, not your best, girl} but this year for the 55th anniversary, a memo was put into place stating that "puffy skin," as Miranda Lambert put it when interviewed by Ryan Secrest on the E! Red Carpet pre-show, was a no-no this year. While some stars chose to follow the rules and others obviously ignored it, there were still so many amazing outfits. Here are some of my favorite looks (in no particular order) from last night.

 The Gals:

1. Katy Perry: Although clearly not following the dress code, Katy Perry looks absolutely stunning in her mint, floor length dress. I love how she added her touch with the floral neckline which showed her playful side while still keeping the look classy and tasteful.

2. Rihanna: Do not even get me started. Rihanna stole the show in my opinion with her gorgeous dress, hairstyle, and makeup. I 100% thought Rihanna would break dress code rules based on her past Grammy appearances but I love how she picked such a tasteful dress. {Side note: Make sure to check out the music video for her song "Stay" which made its debut today. It mostly consists of Rihanna hanging out in her tub but the song is absolutely beautiful.}

3. Carrie Underwood: I was "Blown Away" by her outfit. After her lovely, long sleeve choice last year, I was super excited to see her in a strapless dress this time. The necklace also gave a nice touch to the overall appearance.

4. Beyonce: Now this was definitely a surprise for me. After her sexy Super Bowl outfit, I expected her to keep it up with a just as sexy dress last night. If anyone can pull off a pant suit though, it's Beyonce.

Justin Timberlake: Justin looked absolutely spectacular in his Tom Ford "Suit and Tie" {or -er, bow tie in this case!} All I have to say, is JT is back! After his urbane outfit and wonderful performance, I can't wait to see what Justin has in store for the future.

Adele: Not my favorite but hey, she's not wearing a black dress. That's good enough for me.


Hope you all loved the Grammy's last night as much as I did!
