Heart-Filled Steps

I like to keep things around me throughout my house that remind me of some of the things that inspire me. Among some of my favorite books (obviously, Alexa Chung is a huge icon to me), and all the glitter adorned knick-knacks, I like to display a pair of shoes on an end table. I always liked the look of shoes as an art piece, and these Loly in the sky Amy L. flats are absolutely something to admire.

Of course, I can't just keep these to myself. Shoes like this must be worn.

Even though the snow is pelting New Jersey with snow as I type, and I need to keep these Lolies for safe keeping until the weather improves, I'm absolutely in love these flats. So feminine, so girly... and just so special. They're uber soft and I know they're going to look right at home on my feet this Spring. Plus, let me just say that these should be the official shoe of Valentine's Day! 

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!

Sealed With A Kiss

 

Given my penchant for pink lipstick, there was no doubt in my mind I needed this sparkly sequin lips sweatshirt from Forever 21. I first saw it in November, but it was sold out. I gave up that it would hit the store again...but right before Christmas, it popped up again. Besides for it being doused in sequins, I like the fact that while it's a sweatshirt, it can go casual for dressy. A shirt this sparkly deserved to be paired with other bold, bright and ridiculously pink accessories. 

By the way, it was so stupidly, obnoxiously cold when I took these photos. Well, it's been this way in New Jersey for two weeks. We hit 9 degrees the other day... so yeah, I'd say that puts a damper on taking photos outside.

It would appear that I'm on some type of a shopping roll, since I also scored this purple satchel from Poshmark! This was another one of those blink and you missed it styles that I held out hope on finding.  Reunited... and it feels so good.
