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:

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.

Valentine’s Day Accessory: Red Beret

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.

Valentine’s Day Macarons

Valentine’s Day is the sweetest holiday. Quite literally! And with Valentine’s Day just over a week away, I wanted to share with you a yummy dessert that makes for the perfect sweet treat. I have always loved macarons, but have never attempted to make them. I have always heard how difficult the process is and the need for perfect weather conditions when baking, so in the past I have just bought the dessert. A few weeks ago, I gave these Valentine’s Day Macarons a try and was delighted at the finished product.
