And just like that, the first month of 2021 is over, and we find ourselves in the month of February. There are loads of new and exciting style savvy happenings in the fashion world that you will be rocking this coming Valentine’s Day. So in honor of the month of love, let’s hop into my loves for the top trends that will take you to the 14th and beyond.

1. Pink- And lots of it. Not only does this color go with the hearts and frills of Valentines, but it is also one of spring’s biggest colors (as mentioned in last month’s issue, it’s its own vibe). Wear pink any way you want to-on handbags, and socks, on a blouse or a scarf. You can’t go wrong with this pretty color!

2. Huge sweatshirts-because why not? Although ‘sweatshirt’ isn’t something that usually comes to mind when one thinks of Valentine’s day attire, huge, oversized, cozy sweatshirts are everything right now. In the era of most spending their days at home, you can be sure that the oversized sweatshirt (in addition to being the trend of the moment) will get a lot of practical use as well. Pair with leggings or bike shorts and chunky sneakers.

3. Statement eyebrows and Lashes-because in the pandemic age, we are all wearing our masks everywhere we go, and even though they are covering most of our face, you can still make a statement with eye makeup. The key? Go for a more natural look with the brows, combing them through with clear eyebrow gel and add some mascara or false lashes. It’s your two-step easy solution to statement eyes.

4. The tote- The oversized, carry everything but the kitchen sink tote is big again in stark contrast to the “micro” bags of last year. Totes, in addition to being chic, are absolutely the most practical type of handbag that I own. *Hint*- I have had a high-quality tote bag for years that I use every day for absolutely everything. It is arguably the best purchase I have ever made. Period. Invest in a tote that is classic and will always remain in style, and you won’t be sorry!

5. Stackable jewelry- This is a trend that you will only see increase as the spring and summer months start to blossom. Necklaces, bracelets, and rings- the more that are stacked the better! For the most subtle look, go with more delicate pieces, and don’t be afraid to mix metals!

6. The Band Tee- The 80’s and 90’s are coming in strong this season, and what better to mark the occasion than with an easy tee shirt with the logo of your favorite classic band or tv show? Dress up with some well-tailored jeans, flats, and bazer, or down with ripped jeans and a cardigan. Tees are versatile, so you really can’t go wrong with them, whatever way you style them!
