Give a Little WOW this Valentine’s Day

Featured

The history of Valentine’s Day, legend says, originated during the third century in Rome. During this time, Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers, so he outlawed marriage for young men. A young priest named Valentine was furious with this injustice and defied Claudius by continuing to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. Claudius eventually discovered Valentine’s actions and sentenced him to death!

“not quite the fate of those who fail to buy their significant others flowers on Valentine’s Day, but clearly a lesson to be learned from history!”

Give a Gift of Sparkle from eBay this Season

My favorite gift to give (and receive) is by far, jewelry! From my little niece, my fashionista-bestie, or to my elegant grandma, you can never go wrong with gifting a gorgeous necklace or a pair of sparkly earrings! Jewelry is such a personal and thoughtful gift, and I’d like to share how I scored some great jewelry deals on eBay this season!

“Did you know that 80% of all merchandise sold on eBay is new?”

How I Wear Leather for Fall

I’m all about wearing leather – real or faux. It’s the perfect transition fabric that you can sport from Summer to Fall with ease – and it’s super sexy! Synonymous with cowboys, biker gangs and rock legends, leather pants will inject your closet with some rebellious spirit – and they’re surprisingly wearable, too.

“A symbol of rebellion, they enjoyed a renaissance in the ’50s when they became part of the ‘Greaser’ uniform, and again in the ’70s as the go-to choice for rock’n’roll and punk royalty.”

The use of black and white in decorating creates such a stunning and dramatic mood, and the combination of these two simple colors can truly maximize your decorating statement!
