Pink & Red: Valentine’s Day Inspiration

February 7, 2020 by Rachel McCarthy

Happy Friday, friends! A new post on a Friday? Who am I?! I ‘m sorry this post did not get up earlier this week — the weeks have been flying by and I feel like a hamster going around and around on a wheel! Anyways, better late than never, right? It’s crazy that Valentine’s Day is just a week away. Here are a few pink, red and heart items I’m currently loving and some Valentine’s Day inspiration:

The Hottest Colors of Summer

June 19, 2019 by Rachel McCarthy

With the first official day of summer just two days away, I thought it was perfect timing to share some of summer’s hottest colors in this week’s Wednesday Wishes. I would be hard-pressed to find three more perfect colors to represent the season. Here are some of my favorite pieces in the hottest colors of summer.

Valentine’s Day Inspiration

January 28, 2019 by Rachel McCarthy

Hi friends! I had made this Valentine’s Day inspiration collage a few weeks ago and haven’t had the time to write the content! It’s been a rough few weeks in the McCarthy household. January and February are always a super busy time at work for me with state legislatures in session (you can read about my 9-5 job in this post) but this year has been busier than usual. Then last weekend, Richard wasn’t feeling well, so he spent the weekend in bed. Sunday evening I checked his temperature — it was at 103.5! We ran to urgent care and it was confirmed. He had the flu. For the past week, I’ve been trying to take care of him (while still keeping my distance!), crazy with work and disinfecting the house constantly. Thankfully, he is feeling better, but it was a rough week.

With the official start to summer not far away, today’s Wednesday Wishes is all about Memorial Day outfit inspiration. Whether you plan to spent it at the pool, at a BBQ or if you are ready to add some patriotic colors and prints to your closet, here are a few of my favorite red, white and blue finds for Memorial Day.

Valentine’s Day Accessory: Red Beret

February 12, 2018 by Rachel McCarthy

Happy Monday, friends! How crazy that we are halfway through February already. And since Valentine’s Day is Wednesday, I wanted to share an outfit idea for the holiday that isn’t completely over the top. Don’t get me wrong — the more red (and especially pink!) the better. But if you are looking for a way to subtly add these colors into you outfit for Wednesday, there is no better way than through accessories. Whether it be with a red beret, jewelry, handbags or even lipstick, there are many ways to incorporate a little Valentine’s Day spirit into your look.

Red Double Ruffle Sleeve Top

July 17, 2017 by Rachel McCarthy

I’ve never met a ruffle I didn’t love. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale can be a little overwhelming (to say the least!). So much so that when I was creating last week’s post all about the sale (you can see that here) I totally missed this red double ruffle sleeve top.

Red Hot July

Summer Red Outfit Inspiration @rachmccarthy7

Maybe it’s because the Fourth of July is next week, but I have been all about red lately. It’s a color that I like to wear, but don’t have a ton of it in my closet. Summer is the perfect time to break out this bright hue {or even add it to your closet!} especially with Fourth less than a week away!

Fourth of July Outfit Ideas @rachmccarthy7

Since the Fourth of July is less than three weeks away, I thought it was time to share more red, white and blue Fourth of July outfit inspiration. This patriotic color combo is one of my favorites to wear all summer long. As I like to say, there is nothing wrong with rocking that America pride all summer long!
