If you’ve followed along on this little blog of ours for a few years, you know by now that my love for Valentine’s Day runs deep. Though I realize that most people typically tend to either loath this holiday or feel at most mildly enthused by it, I’m completely unashamed to admit that it’s up there as not only one of my favorite holidays, but my favorite holiday seasons in general. I absolutely love the month and a half after the new year leading up to Valentine’s Day and get big ol’ heart eyes all the way through. Always have, always will! And as such I consider it my lifelong duty to share my unending love for this totally frivolous holiday full of hugs, hearts, kisses, candy, cards and all of the pink, red and purple I can handle with the world in an attempt to get all humans on board the Valentine’s Day joy train… which always starts right here on the blog. Hey, a girl’s gotta try, right? Oh, and Hamlet loves V-Day, too. How can you deny that fluffy little face? Which is exactly why I brought him along for today’s V-Day adventure. I’m trapping you with cuteness!

To kick off what will be a solid few weeks of Valentine’s Day content here on the blog this year (I’ve tried to stop myself and it’s just no good… indulge me), Hamlet and I thought it would be fun to get right to the good stuff and round up all of our favorite V-Day style finds this year, before everything sells out! Over the years I’ve decided that there’s just no way that I’m the only living Valentine’s Day fan in the world because the heart-clad, pastel-colored duds always sell out so quickly when they hit the shelves and the web in January and February, and I for one do not want to miss out. This is my chance to stock up on these kinds of loved-up, pretty-in-pink delights so I can wear my heart on my sleeve all year round (see what I did there?), and in case you love a good heart shirt as much as I do, this is your chance, too!

At the very top of my list of favorite V-Day style finds this year? This soft, comfy, perfectly pink and of course, heart-adorned sweatshirt tee that made my ticker skip a beat the second I saw it. Not only are great, soft crewneck sweatshirts and cozy tees pretty much my winter, spring and fall daily uniform, but anything in a pale pink hue that has hearts on it essentially makes up all of my garment dreams come true. I’m also in love with these sweet Veja sneakers with the perfect pairing of rose gold and wine accents, and though they’re perfectly festive for a casual V-Day date or just knockin’ around in celebration of the season, these are definitely sneaks I’ll wear and love all year long. All of the reviews told me to size down if I was between whole sizes (I typically wear a 7.5), but when I sized down to the 7 I found them too small/short. My toes were hitting the end. So I sized up to an 8 and am happy as a clam that I did.

But there are so many more Valentine’s Day-perfect pieces out there to love right now, including this satin pink and red bow headband that’s the stuff my headband dreams are made of, these adorable blush pink espadrille flats, this super cute fuzzy heart print sweater, this tiered pink midi dress, this adorable pink puff-shoulder sweatshirt that’s on crazy sale, these perfect high-waisted pale pink jeans that I’ve been living in for 6 months and are now on super sale in all sizes and these fun pink raffia heart earrings! And though those are some of my favorites, there’s so much more to love in the roundup and shop widgets below, so make sure you scroll through those to dive deeper into the festive V-Day goodness!
