Valentine’s Day 2024: From Date Night Outfits to Cute Gift Ideas

January 25, 2024

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Whether you’re celebrating with your significant other or with your girlfriends, it can be fun to dress up a little or at least wear something with pink or hearts on it. I personally love pink, glitter and hearts all year long. I have some outfit ideas and gift ideas for Valentine’s Day 2024, but I think we need to first take a look at the history of this “holiday”.

Valentine’s Day, a celebration of love and affection, has a rich history that dates back to ancient Rome. Believe it or not, this day of chocolates and heart-shaped cards started as a Roman festival called Lupercalia, celebrated in mid-February as a way to welcome spring. The festival involved pairings of women and men through a lottery system, but it wasn’t until the late 5th century that Pope Gelasius I replaced Lupercalia with St. Valentine’s Day. And the romantic connotations? Well, those evolved over time, especially during the Middle Ages when the notion of courtly love flourished. By the 18th century, gift-giving and handwritten notes had become common, and the industrial revolution in the 19th century only fanned the flames with factory-made cards. So next time you give or receive a Valentine’s gift, remember that you’re participating in a tradition that spans centuries!

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

Comment SHOP for the link to this carefree outfit with sizing details.💖

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

I'm excited to share with you my latest obsession - Lysse New York! Their clothing’s won me over with its beauty, quality and comfort.

I’m petite at 5’1” and these cropped length pants fit me great, along with their tops. The brand is eco friendly using recycled materials in many of their products. Very cool!

This wide leg style is a favorite of mine. Are you a fan too?

Let me know if you want links and sizing info.💖

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖

Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been more adventurous in my younger years. Despite visiting many distant lands, I often did so reluctantly. However, my mindset has shifted over the past 10 years, and I now yearn to explore more of our world.

We’re currently in Jackson Hole, with upcoming trips planned for Summer and Fall, including another trip to Europe.

River cruising in Europe has been my favorite travel so far. We’ve taken 3 different river cruises and you can see some of those moments in my saved highlights.💖

Are there any cities or countries on your travel bucket list?✈️

Who else is ready for Summer?😎👙🍉🌻👗⛱️🧴☀️

There’s just something about the long slow days and nights of summer that brings back so many fond memories over the past 60 years.

Next week is Memorial Day weekend which I think officially kicks off the season with outdoor bbqs, swimming all day, popsicles, sundresses and sleeveless tops, beach days, vacations and unfortunately, mosquitoes.

What’s one of your favorite summer memories?🥰
