Pink Denim Cheat (+ three ways to wear it)

Valentine Cheat




Love is in the air... and if you're like me, all the mushy stuff is making you a little nauseous. That said I like to participate in Valentine's Day just as much as the next red-blooded American girl.

The catch is that in order to release your emotion you must break the pretty little heart.

A perfect balance of bitter and sweet.

Chanel Fascinator Cheat



I came across this photo on Part Time Princess and immediately fell in love with the glamour of it all... the hair, the make-up, and of course the giant flower/feather fascinator. Not to mention that it was taken backstage at a Chanel runway show.

I'm not one for over-the-top hair, but I think a few feathers in your hair can really bring a simple dress to the next level. I obviously have no idea where one might find the amazing Chanel version, so I tracked down a few other glamour-worthy versions online.
