BOOM!!
A little smoke bomb magic today to say: HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY.
Whether you’re single or taken, WHO CARES because it’s basically national chocolate day!
Specifically dark chocolate stuffed raspberries day for me.
And we kept it super casual day today— basically we read, ate mahi tacos, & watched our new obsession: MADOFF. Such a good show by the way, you guys HAVE to watch it. It’s all about Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. Superrrr juicy.
( Also very much into the new OJ Simpson show…thoughts? ).
We ended V-Day with The Nanz because FAVORITE VALENTINE EVER. Especially when she orders a bloody Mary with extra celery.
Turning directions here & talking about THIS dress. THIS dress is SASSY, no? I felt black or a flirty maxi with sneakers was just really the only way to go this year. Pairing it with red suede pumps felt Valentine-ish. The tulle on this dress is so fun, so flirty, & so salsa dancing Emoji girl.
Plus it really pulls you in in the stomach area. Nothing like a dress that kind of has built-in Spanx. Especially if you ate two protein-style In & Out burgers the night before…WHOOPS.
They’re so good, I can’t help myself.
( Also please note: if you’re feeling bloated & doing a photoshoot, use smoke bombs as a prop. Seriously though, this will eliminate any bloat in the picture because the smoke can cover it. LOLOLOLOL ).
These red suede heels look EXACTLY like the $595 Manolo Blahnik BB ones, but EER, they’re on sale for FREAKING $54 bucks? SO yes, total steal. Really every girl needs a pair of red suede shoes— they’re so romantic & spicy, no?
Anyway, I have questions FOR YOU: how was your Valentine’s Day? Who did you see? Did you cook? Any hotties? Fill me in PLEASE!
Off to read & drink some peppermint tea, talk soon QT’s, happy Valentine’s!
XO lauryn

Your outfit looks gorgeous! Love the dress and the stilettos are simply amazing! xx
Thanks Genya :)) <3
First! I love love love the side boob action in this dress. So sexy.
Second, Vday. I’m a bartender/server (HOLLA!) who got to travel this week to open a new restaurant with the company. So even though I’m so sad to be away from my love (and the cats) for 7 days, 6 nights, including VDay… I’ve been making impressions on corporate and working on myself which has felt SO GOOD. I’m such a big homebody, so this has been an awesome experience way out of my comfort zone!
Hi Jamie, it sounds like the time away was totally worth it! It’s rad that you and your man are independent enough to spend that much time + Valentine’s Day apart! You guys sound like a rad couple! Congrats on the opening! xx
I completely love those shoes!!
Thanks Andrea <3

Obsessed with this dress!! Also, new OJ show…seriously addicting!!!
Those smoke bombs are so cool! And that dress is so perf!
I spent my Valentines day at our local food and wine festival with my friends. Very chill. xx
This is probably one of my fave posts from you! Love the vibe in the pics and the smoke bombs are on point!
Speaking of shows, if you ever watched Breaking Bad and liked it, you should check out “Better Call Saul” on Netflix! Amazeee and it’s like a BB spinoff.
OBSESSED with both shows!
Oh my goodness that smoke bomb looks so fun! And I definitely can’t see any bloat (your stomach is so flat what bloat are you talking about?! hehe ♡) I spent Valentine’s Day with my other half of four years and we had an amazing time <3 On a side note I cannot believe those Sam Edelman pumps are on sale for $55!!! They look amazing and so does your dress! xx
