Love Dust: A Simple Look For Valentines Day

by - February 14, 2015

Happy Valentine's Day Loves! 
This is officially the second time I've ever worn a dress on this blog; I'm really not a dress person and never been. Infact, I dont believe I owned a skirt until I was in the 8th grade :|. Give me a tailored pants, skinny jeans or shorts and I will feel right at home.[tomboy in recovery lol]  Valentine's Day aka break out that grown and sexy dress day however calls for a CHANGE!







This beautiful blush midi dress was gifted to me this past Christmas and since I have yet to wear it, I thought what better time than Valentine's Day?! I've never owned a midi dress before, being only 5ft I sometimes disregard some garments as I figure they might not complement my figure so well. BUT to my surprise, this babe of a dress was just perfect!

If you're planning to head out for a nice dinner with your other half, I definitely recommend a nice midi. These dresses are possibly the easiest way to achieve a modest vintage-chic ensemble and provide a great canvas to build on with your choice of accessories.  As you can see I kept it really simple here, adding neutral pumps and a single bracelet. The next time I wear this dress, I plan to really amplify the look with a chunky earring and a nice classic clutch purse to add to the vintage flair.

As far as Valentine's Day goes I have no actual plans yet but I wouldnt be mad if it turned out to be a pizza, Netflix and Moscato type of night.  I do hope your Valentine's Day will be filled with tons of Chocolate/ Cheesecake/Red Velvet Cake, Roses and most of all LOVE!

Special thank you to my boyfriend/ Valentine, Gavin who so graciously loaned me his back-side for these photos lol.

Oh and before I sign off - Please help me wish my AMAZING photographer STEVEN SMITH a HAPPY Happy Birthday as he celebrates his birthday on February 14th. He is truly the backbone of this blog! Love you Stevie!

  6. Hello Tanaka! You may not like me saying this but you do like a fairy tale princess from one of my daughter's story telling books. I couldn't stop staring at the picture. They are enchanting and you look so beautiful wearing that blush pink dress. The pictures of you and your better half are so romantic so let him know that you both need pose together more often. I hope you had an amazing V-Day filled with love and lots of happy moments. Thanks for sharing, Jeannette
