After the holidays I try (ish) to save money by not shopping as much for the rest of winter. Although this always fails as I end up shopping for Valentine’s Day or Spring Break or because it’s Wednesday and I had a rough day. The best thing for me to do is set a price point on the items I buy, so this year I set a $150 limit  for myself on items….. okay fine, I blew that rule already, but at least a girl can try. So for those of you who are better at saving money and keeping their price point rule, here are 11 items under $150.

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, it is time to start planning your date night outfits… or an outfit to hit the town with your girlfriends. When choosing a VDay outfit I like to wear something feminine. This is the perfect holiday to go all girly and feminine with your wardrobe.

Happy Friday!! I am pretty excited for this weekend! Tonight I am going to (FINALLY) see The Lumineers in concert with Tillie from My Stiletto Life.  I love The Lumineers and have been dying to see them in concert for a while now. The concert, I have heard from people who went in Columbus, is really good so I am pretty excited about it! Besides the concert on Saturday I am going to the Rebecca Minkoff store for an exclusive watch of their Fashion Week show–which is being held in L.A. What is cool about this year’s show is that it will be shoppable right then and there. Make sure to follow LiketoKnow.It and me (@blushandblooms) on Instagram for shoppable looks! The show starts at 4:30pm so make sure to look for my InstaStories.

Valentine’s Day, I know, is not the most well-liked holiday for everyone. Single people either loath it because they feel extra alone and couple’s find it cheesy and can dread celebrating the day. I for one, single or not, like Valentine’s Day. I mean the holiday is based on wearing pink, eating chocolate, pampering yourself, getting a present or two, flowers, and hearts… what is there not to like?! It is all of my favorite things wrapped into one day. Each year I like to do one nice thing for myself; i.e. buy shoes, get a massage, buy chocolates, etc. This year I am not sure what I will gift myself, but here are some ideas I have in mind.
