Valentine’s Day Gifts | From me to me


For the last two years I’ve shared a gift guide “from me to me” (2015 & 2016) and I decided to keep the same idea rolling for 2017! With my birthday a few weeks after Valentine’s day and it being a big one, 3-0HHHH – I want to treat myself to something special. Here are a few things I have my eye on! 

gift guide for valentines day, charlotte tilbury lipstick, nike sneakers, gucci belt, essie gel couture nail polish, glambox, marc fisher espadrilles




If you ask my husband then he’ll say the last thing I should add to my closet is another pair of shoes! I’m someone that walks my shoes to death – I will continue to wear them until it’s just not appropriate to wear them in public anymore! I have been wanting a pair of all black Nike sneakers for a while now, not for the gym, but more so for running errands, travel & comfy walking shoes! Also on the list are these Marc Fisher Espadrilles that I was kicking myself for not getting last year – now they are back in stock & the black or olive suede is what I have picked out. 






I can’t say enough good things about the Essie gel couture nail polish line. It absolutely lives up to the long wear hype and I can go about 9-10 days without so much as a chip and that never happens with other nail polishes! I’ve slowly started to throw out all other polishes and I’m building this collection up! A new coloris a great little gift! Since I can’t really get enough of pretty nude lipsticks, I’d love to try out Charlotte Tilbury’s collection in the Kim K.W color!  






Confession: I only have one belt! It’s not because I don’t like them, but I’ve never found a belt that I felt would take an outfit to the next level – that is until I spotted this gorgeous Gucci leather beltwith double G buckle. This is absolutely an investment & a belt that would be timeless! 






Why is it that clutches and small bags are the hardest to keep organized?! I have more than I care to admit, but this GlamBox organizer is exactly what my closet needs! And the only piece of clothing on my wish list is ruffle sweater from TopShop. I’ve been really good about not making random clothing purchases and taking a hard look at my closet, purging items I don’t wear and just being honest with what I want vs. need. So the sweater isn’t necessarily a need, but not having anything like this it’s a great Happy Valentine’s Day gift!

    I love the title of this. πŸ™‚ That Essie color is gorgeous, and I definitely wouldn't mind a pair of those Nikes either! The handbag organizer is super cute – I never would have thought of that! I keep hearing about the Kim K. W. lipstick – makes me want to try it even more, too.

    Yay for the Big 3-0 coming up!! I love your picks! I recently did a huge purge of my closet as well and it's incredible how much stuff I don't need/wear/use anymore. The Essie gel line is my favorite as well. I've slowly started using it more and more & I'm so glad. xo

Everything in this post is adorable and looks so "you!" I love the gucci belt buckle…I'm not quite sure I could pull it off, but you could! And I've got to get on this essie gel polish line!

    A new color of my favorite nail polish is always a go to "from me to me" gift… especially if it's been a long week and I'm already at Target anyway. Might as well, right? πŸ™‚ Those wedges are awesome – I hope you treat yourself to them!

    I love all your picks, girlie, especially the sweater, bag organizer, and belt. I've been seeing this belt a lot lately and it's making me want to get one, too, mainly because it's so classic in style. I have one that my mom gifted my with for my HS graduation, but I chose a metallic silver and over the years, it has worn off πŸ™ I love that this one can be worn with a simple tee or a dressy, flowly blouse, such a great piece! Thanks so much for sharing your faves with us, beauty, and I hope you're having a great week so far!

    Every year when I see this post from you, I always tell myself I should treat myself to something. And then, I never do! Ha! Maybe I'll write it down in my planner so I make a point to do it. πŸ˜‰ Love everything on your wish list, I had no idea it was the big 3-0 for you this year!

    I wear my shoes into the ground too. But at least we wear them and don't just leave them in our closet. My sister has those Nike's and I almost stole them from her last weekend. I love that organizer box! All my bags just kind of slouch over on my shelves. Great finds as always, girl! xo Beautifully Candid

    I love the idea of a gift guide "from me to me" because we inevitably fulfill that list with a little shopping here and there, if someone else doesn't end up purchasing it first. The Glam organizer sounds perfect because my closet needs all the organizing it can get!

    I don't wear sneakers often besides working out and when I'm in workout clothes running errands. I like those Nike sneakers. There is an Adidas pair that I want for the same purpose.
