it's that day to dare to say what's on your heart rather than on your mind. a valentine is very often reserved for cliche romantic realisms, though this year I feel I can't narrow down to one love as I want all my friends & family to feel just as fiercely fantastic on a day like today. so hello to my heart & happy valentines to all my very lovely loves!

pearl picks :
often opinions hear 'turtleneck' & instantly think sleepy (not street) style. well what a waste of this cool combination knit : a scarf & sweater all in one! this winter, I'm not quiet that I'm quite into these trendy turtlenecks. served chunky & oversized of course, with boyfriend jeans or a midi skirt, it will keep you warm while you wander down city streets. though honestly I may just take this cool sweater style & curl up with sweet hot cocoa while I watch these haute girls rock it in their heels...
pearl picks :
snowy weather calls for scarves & wool hats, leaving little room to show off shimmering jewels. a trendy take that shows your sparkling personality as soon as you take off your mittens? sparkling stacks of stones fantastically placed on each finger!
try multiple bold moments on top of each other or spread them out. play with picking out mixed metals, bold statements, simple bands & colorful cocktail varieties. there is no 'off-limits' with this look. the hunt for the perfect stack of sparkles is a simple way to keep your look shimmering while you're showered in knits!

how this has happened I'm not quite sure, but it's time to say 'thank you' to twenty-thirteen & gear up for a fantastic fourteen! reflecting right back through the many events that mark my memories of this year, there was nothing typical or unmemorable about those twelve months. through eight countries, four cities, two internships & one set of eyes, I've seen more of the world in this one year than my past two decades combined. my family, my dreams & my perspective have most definitely changed & though some experiences have been exponentially more enjoyable than others, I feel ready to ring in the new year & I excitedly await the adventures to come!
why hello there holidays! it's about time to welcome in a wonderful day when bits of family bickering & frostbitten fingers all find a happy place around a hot cup of tea gazing upon a lively decorated tree. I plan on handing out my hand-wrapped gifts, sipping cute cocktails & munching on more cookies than I care to truly admit... hope you've checked into your cheer for a very happy christmas!
