The Perfect Valentine's Day Outfit - No Matter What Your Plans!

Whether planning romantic night out or a cozy night in, I have put together perfect outfits and accessories for any Valentine's Day plans. Let me know which outfit is your favorite! Can't wait to see everyone's picks!

This Romper is the perfect amount of lace and leg for a cute and trendy look. Wear this with some cute espadrilles for a more casual look. 

This dress is the perfect amount of sexy for a night out with your person. I love the lace detail on the leg. 

This dress is a bit more casual, but it's the sleeveless version of my favorite dress {I blogged about it here}, so I couldn't leave it out. Wear it with a knit sweater cardigan and peep toe booties, like the ones linked below for a super cute look. 

You could easily dress this top up or down. I included a few pieces below to style it either way! I love the color and the fun sleeves.

We haven't decided if we are going out on Valentine's Day or not, but if we do, I will be wearing this. I am obsessed with this jumpsuit, it is so flattering and the open back is perfect! Not to mention, it's totally affordable!

If you are opting for a night in or maybe a little of both, stay cozy yet flirty with this sultry kimono. Or turn up the heat in one of these sexy lingerie dresses. 

Create the mood with some cute heart pillows, cozy Ugg blanket and festive champagne glasses!

Happy Valentine's Day!

How I Became a Shoe Designer With Just a Few Clicks

{this is a sponsored post}

I think I can now officially be considered a shoe designer!  Okay so maybe not exactly, but I feel like I could have a future in it after designing our adorable and fully custom sneakers at Shoes of Prey. 

They make it so easy, but with so many different options. There are a variety of different base shoes from booties, pumps to cute sneakers to choose from. After you pick the type of shoe you want, you can start on the fun part choosing all of the colors, textures, fabrics, metallics, velvets - I was in shoe designing heaven.  

I really feel like our shoes are so special and unique. They even give you the option of adding a custom inscription, so if you wanted to put your name, the perfect hashtag, your favorite food, or your best friend's cat's name inside, then that is totally possible! {read further down for a promo code for free inscription on your custom shoes}

I couldn't be happier with our custom matching sneaks! Not only are they beautiful, but they are so comfortable. Everyone needs a pair of custom shoes in their life. 

Head on over to Shoes of Prey {here} and be sure to used the promo code DAPHNIEPEARL for free custom inscription on your custom shoes!

p.s. This dress can easily be added to my comfy dress collection, like the dresses in my previous post {here}

I hope you enjoy designing your shoes as much as I did!

Fun STEAM Projects for Kids with Kiwi Co!

As a mom in the STEM field, I find it so important that Daphnie learn about as much in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics as possible. Right now,  Science is Daphnie's favorite subject in school. Everywhere we go, she finds something that she needs to 'science'. As we were walking around the Christmas Tree farm back in December, she had to stop to analyze the leaves on every fir tree, exclaiming that she needed to pull a few sample leaves so that she could 'science them later' (using the word science as more of a verb than a noun lol). 

She is also very interested in everything that her daddy is interested in. As a full time aerospace engineer student, my husband is always working on a new engineering project for class. She gets a kick out of watching him design and build these projects and loves to help him test them out. 

Since she was showing such an interest in Science and Engineering, I started to research fun STEM projects that we could do with her to help her learn even more about all of these fun things at home. In researching, I happily sumbled upon Kiwi Co! 

Kiwi Co is all about hands-on learning for all things STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics). They have a monthly subscription box for four different age groups ranging from  Newborn to 16+ years old. 

Daphnie is 7 and would typically be in the Kiwi box, but since I knew there was no way her Dad wasn't going to want to help her with them, I ordered her the Tinker Crate which is more focused on Science and Engineering specifically, but usually for 9+ years old. 

They had so much fun putting the Arcade Catapult together and playing with it. Check out the video below to see the entire process from building to playing!

Go check out Kiwi Co for your little STEM kiddo and use my code DAPHNIE40 for 40% Off your first month for any subscription!

How We Have Obtained the Best Sleep of our Lives

It's been a few months since our Nectar mattress showed up at our front door, and we couldn't be happier with it. Just the fact that it's delivered right to our front door is a major plus. 

We have tried many of the 'bed in a box' types, but this mattress is different. For one, it actually does get to the thickness that is selected unlike other mattresses that never expand fully. It only took a few hours before it was fully expanded (despite being in such a tiny roll) but we followed instruction and didn't sleep on it for a full 24 hours. 

365 Night Sleep Trial

The thing that attracted me to this mattress over others is that this mattress had more layers of real, quality memory foam than other comparable mattresses which have larger layers of regular foam.. 

My husband and I both suffered from back pain with our previous Sleep Number mattress, which we can happily say is not a problem anymore. This mattress is so comfortable. Before trying Nectar, we went mattress shopping and laid on every mattress out there, only to be disappointed. Our Nectar mattress is soft, but supportive. We are definitely going to be getting one for Daphnie too!
