The justification: Valentine's Day Gifts

Oh, Valentine's Day. It's a great day to receive presents if you're with someone, or a day to be dramatic and hate life if there isn't a boy (or in some circumstances, the boy is too busy to text you back). In any case, here are some gift ideas to bestow on the one you're with or just yourself.

Giles&Brother XO Studs in Gold Vermeil

Justification #1: Sturdy yet delicate, these earrings can be worn while dressing up or down. Trust me...I wore them everyday for six months straight.

Justification #2: If gold vermeil isn't your thing, check out the XO Studs in Sterling Silver.

Friend or Foe Frank Sinatra Tee

Justification #1: It might not be the most romantic gift, but it's red and it has a great fit.

Justification #2: Just remember...when in doubt, clothing is WAY more exciting than thoughtless chocolate.

What Are You Wearing?

Today consisted of one very short advising meeting and a very large amount of time sitting on the couch catching up on the DVR. Oh, the joys of being a college kid! Even if no one will be graced with my presence today (with the exception of Ellen, Oprah and the crew over on Grey's) at least I'm still feeling pretty good about my choice in lounge wear. Today, I'm wearing:

-Friend or Foe Miles Davis Prestige Tee

-Keep Me Ellie Leggings

-Ugg Dakotas

What are wearing?

The Justification: What I'm currently loving

Kova&T Pepper Leggings

Justification #1: These leggings have stirrups, so they won't bunch up!

Justification #2: They're also available in purple, for those of you who appreciate color.

Friend or Foe Miles Davis tee

Justification #1: This tee is my number one obsession. Seriously-I bought if to give as a present (you're welcome, Rooms) and then I also had to buy one for myself.

Justification #2: It occurred to me while writing this that there are some especially lovely Facebook pictures of me from an impromptu night out. There's nothing like having a million pictures taken of you when it looks like you just crawled out of bed. But at least you sort of get to see how amazing this tee is!
