    Cute Valentine’s Day Ideas

    cute valentine's day ideas

    It’s currently a winter wonderland outside and we’re looking for any excuse to celebrate. Even though we’re staying home for Valentine’s Day, I still want to make it festive! Today I’m sharing some cute Valentine’s Day ideas I’ve rounded up!

    I’ve had this felt garland for a few years now. I love hanging it on our mantle once Christmas is over so we still have some fun decorations. Some festive, cozy pajamas are a great way to celebrate. I feel like the heart print can be worn past Valentine’s Day and not be too holiday specific. You also can’t go wrong with a fuzzy sweater and a cute bow or headband to top it off!

    Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? We usually don’t do much, but Matt is pretty good at surprising his girls. I’m definitely incorporating some of these cute Valentine’s Day ideas. Let me know in the comments if you have any fun plans!

    10 Amazon Fashion Finds for Winter

    10 Amazonf Fashion Finds for Winter
    Outfit details: Dress / Shoes (similar) / Bag Get $50 of your Senreve purchase of $300 or more with code LAURENHANSEN

    With the holidays over I’m thinking about what I want to wear around the house for the rest of winter. While we wait on a vaccine, I’m looking for pieces to mainly wear around the house. I go back and forth each day between wanting to be cozy and comfortable and wanting to feel a little bit more dressed. And while I’m sitting around I can’t help but get sucked into browsing Amazon! Here are 10 Amazon fashion finds I’m loving for winter!

    I lived in house dresses all summer and found this great winter option! It’s a maxi length with a long sleeve but still in a comfortable cotton. I love the stretchy, smocked top. It also looks as great dressed up for going out as it does with a fun pair of slippers around the house.

    Speaking of fun slippers! I got this cute pair of velvet slippers with feather pompom right before Christmas. I wanted something festive to wear around the house and these are perfect! They look so cute with everything and make me feel fancy.

    Since we were staying home for New Years Eve I wanted to at least get some fancy loungewear. I bought these silk satin pajamas and they are seriously amazing. They come in tons of colors and combinations of long and short tops and pants.

    Another thing I’ve been wearing a lot of lately is headbands. Mostly I just don’t feel like doing my hair and wearing a headband makes me feel more put together. I also can’t stand having my hair in my face when I’m doing stuff around the house. The sherpa on this one is so cozy and screams winter to me!

    Since I’m wearing leggings most of the time, I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect pair. These have been my favorite so far. Their thick and kind of suck you in, plus I love the 7/8 length isn’t too long on me. The best part, of course, is the pockets! Game changer!

    A sherpa pullover is a must to keep you cozy all winter. I love the big pockets on this one. Pairs perfectly with my favorite leggings!

    If I have to leave the house, I’m wearing sneakers. I love the neutral colors in this pair.

    A chunky cardigan is a perfect winter staple piece. I love the big buttons on this one. It’s perfect to throw over your pajamas, wear with leggings, or jeans if you must leave the house.

    Another vital piece of my winter uniform is a lounge set. I love the jogger bottoms on this set. It also comes in a ton of colors, but I love this dark green!

    Finally, if you’re staying around the house all day and noticing your feet or back hurting, you may need more arch support. I swear by Vionic slippers. This pair is so cute and cozy in addition to being more supportive!

    Have you found any gems on Amazon lately? What do you think of these 10 Amazon fashion finds for winter?

    Today I’m rounding up the 10 best affordable sweater dresses for fall! One of my favorite styles to wear each fall is a sweater dress. I love how soft and cozy I feel in a sweater dress! Sweater dresses are also so easy to dress up or down. You can keep the look casual with a sneaker or flat boot or dress it up with heels or booties.

    Sweater dresses are also a perfect pick for holiday dressing. A cozy sweater dress with a turtleneck is perfect with tall boots and tights. A midi style looks great with ankle boots. I’m loving all of the sweater dress styles with puff sleeves. These styles look perfect with heels for an elegant date night!

    My Favorite Leopard Pieces

    Outfit details: Dress, sunglasses, sandals, bag. Get 50% off my bag or any purchase of $300 or more with code LAURENHANSEN

    As we inch closer to fall, I like to start transitioning my wardrobe to pieces I can wear now and later. One way I like to do that is by incorporating fall prints into wear now silhouettes. Leopard print is always one of my favorites for fall! Here I mixed leopard prints in different scales. But, there are so many ways to wear it! I really treat leopard print like a neutral. Of course you can always wear it with black or tan. But, I also think it adds a fun pop with a solid color, or even paired with stripes! Below I’ve rounded up some of my favorite leopard pieces to wear now and into fall!
