Winter Hues

Spring can't get here quick enough. I'm over wearing long sleeves. I'm tired of being cold. And I'm definitely sick of the snow. Winter can be pretty... but when it's snowed like it has in New Jersey for the last 3 weeks... I'd say that's enough.

Mirror Print Sweatshirt - Missguided / Pink Jeans - Forever 21 / Purple Satchel - purchased on Poshmark / Black Metal Accent Sunglasses - c/o SunglassWarehouse.com / Peep Toe Mary Janes - Steve Madden (circa 2002, I'm not kidding) / New York Color Cosmetics Blue Rose Lipstick #405

And with the weather being what it is, I try to cheer myself up by doning some of my bright colored clothes. Yes, I know it means I might look a little out of place being that pinks and florals are usually reserved for summer, but this mirror print sweatshirt from UK-based clothing store, Missguided, was just too... artsy, to keep locked away. If Mother Nature won't make this place colorful, I will.

Oh, and you still have time to enter the Swarovski Amorous Pendant contest! 

Enter to Win an Amorous Pendant from Swarovski!

I'm one of those people that absolutely gets swept up in Valentine's Day... The novelty of all things heart-related, an excuse to go a little overboard with heart-decorated anything and of course, showing lots of love! 

Valentine's Day also means a holiday where I can crank up my girly flair a bit. So when Swarovski asked me to style their newest Amorous Pendant from their 2014 Valentine's Day Collection in my best V-Day style, I was giddy with the thought of sparkle! Oh, and one of my readers can win this necklace, too (see below)!

While I love wearing traditional colors of red and pink for a V-Day dinner date with my husband, I always like to have that element of rocker style. To match the metallic shine from the pendant, I paired these silver shoes with black peplum pants and a totally appropriate top which I "love". My bold, pink lipstick, NARS Satin Lip Pencil in YU. gives the outfit a dash of color... Then again, the balloons are really the brightest display of my love for Valentine's Day. 

And, to help spread some love for Valentine's Day, Swarovski is giving away an Amorous Pendant to one lucky House Of Jeffers reader! Enter to win below!
