Valentine's Day looks

With one more sleep till Valentine's Day, I am sharing my favorite Simply Style Boutique top.  

And with the day of love falling on Friday, a work day, I thought I would dress the look up for the office, and down for a casual date night (which is just how Brandon and I roll..)

Happy Valentine's Day ladies!!

Life as of late...

Fall, the greatest season of them all... and the busiest! (or so it seems some days!)

 

What have I been up to, oh just...

 

• Celebrating my birthday with my amazing big-sister!  Girl's day at the ocean front followed by meeting up with one of our brothers and his wife for late night beers and pizza

• Celebrating again the next morning with all the brothers, my parents, nephews, and husband (he works all the good days!) 

• Chopping my hair off!  It was a series of bad hair days that lead to this bold decision!  Besides the one mini-freak out where I was convinced I had given myself a "mom" hair cut, I am loving this new length!

• Visiting my girl friends from college in Alexandria, Virginia for Girl's Weekend!  (Which now includes husbands and boyfriends)

• Inventory for Simply Style Boutique!  Working on a fresh new look for Simply Style, what is your favorite part of our little shop?  Check us out - www.simplystyleboutique.com

• Hustling at the 9 to 5'r!  I am a Special Events Coordinator and the fall andholiday season is my time to shine!! I mean what could be better than planning Santa Claus big debut!!

 

Now on to Thanksgiving week, which by far is the greatest holiday of all!! I am also doing my best to follow my strict no Christmas music before Thanksgiving (which was slightly spoiled at work) but you better believe I have Neil Diamond's Christmas CD in the car and ready to rock on Black Friday!

Date Night Outfit's with Karissa!

Sometimes putting together a date outfit can be hard!  The summer can be especially difficult because you don't have a lot of layering options when it's so warm outside. The gorgeous Karissa and I have collaborated to bring you 2 Summer Date Night Outfits.  One is a more casual look while the other is a perfect dressy look.  Hopefully they can help inspire you the next time you have somewhere fun to go and are struggling to throw an outfit together. 

Emily's Look:

A normal date night for Brandon and I consists of quick errands around town before dinner and a movie.  We have never been the “fancy” dinner date type, and would forgo a 7-course meal for Happy Hour specials at a restaurant on the water any day!

 

 

Cute and Casual is what I was going for with this light breezy top and shorts.  I paired the look with these oh-so –comfortable tan wedges!  I kept the jewelry simple because of the great patterned neckline of the tunic.I am a Target junkie, so it is no surprise that the top, shorts and wedges are all from target.  The accessories, from Simply Style Boutique. This outfit is simple enough for errands and the movies, and the three-quarter length tunic is just enough for dinner on the patio as the temperature dips when the sun sets at the beach!

Karissa's Look:

Krieg and I went downtown for dinner and to a play for our anniversary so I wanted to get dressed up.  The play was in an outdoor amphitheater and I needed something light and airy so I didn't find myself sticking to my seat!  I also did a little up-do because the heat always flattens my hair out real quick.  Here's what I came up with-

 

 

  

Dress: Bohme | Wedges: Nordstrom Rack | Belt/Jewelry: Borrowed 

It was comfortable, cute and light weight for a Saturday night downtown!

What is your go to summer date night outfit?
