The Look Of Love: Valentine's Day Inspiration

( Via Sunny Gu )

Valentine's Day is officially a week away. Will you partake? It's been awhile since the Holidays, so I am ready for a reason to celebrate....something.....especially love. With or without a significant other, we all have someone we love. Why not make the day special? One way to do it is to change up your look. Try a red lip, slip into something "more comfortable," embrace some lace. Today's inspiration just might make a love connection.
