Valentine's Day Gift Guide


With Valentine's Day just a little more than a week away, it's time to start thinking of some sweet little gifts for our loved ones. Let's spend the holiday this year celebrating all of those that we love, whether or not it is the romantic kind.  Pick up a cute little gift for your best girlfriends, your blogger BFFs, or someone who has been an extra special influence in your life. A little thoughtfulness goes a long way in making someone feel extra special - especially on Valentine's Day.

Psst.. Tyler, if you're reading this, I'll take one of each! ;)

Oh, how I've missed you!!

Hello friends!! I can't even begin to express how much I've missed you during my absence here on the blog.  I never imagined that my big dreams of moving to NYC would keep me away from you but it [very!] sadly has.  Simply put, I'm working a lot.  Like seriously a lot.  I love my job tremendously but it has made posting about my personal style basically impossible.  In Kentucky, I was working far fewer hours and I was often able to take outfit photos during my lunch breaks.  Now, I'm not only working until well after daylight but I'm also wearing a uniform so there really isn't a lot of variety to even take photos of each day.  Let me tell you, I have been so hard on myself about it. I want so much to bring you more posts of my own personal style because I know that is what you enjoy the most.. but I've finally come to the realization that, at least for now, I just can't do it.

So I've spent the last month away from the blog and really thinking about what I want for Opal & Violet going forward.  I am not willing to give up my outfit posts completely.  Definitely not.  I will definitely still shoot them for you as frequently as I possibly can [although it will be more infrequent than not].  However, now in addition to my own outfits, I want to turn a lot of my focus to the style around me.  I live in New York City where the fashion is absolutely amazing.  I work with some incredibly fashionable people and I want to bring you some of their style.  I want to bring you fashion from the streets.  I want to bring you menswear.  Actually, I'm incredibly excited to step behind the camera and start putting some of my photography skills to use.  As fun as it is to be photographed, I would really like to use my camera myself!  You can still expect inspiration outfit boards, shopping guides, and even videos from time-to-time [those Birchboxes are piling up!].  

So it's official: you can get your fashion fix here on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays!  

I am so happy to be back!

Valentine's Day is tomorrow and I know many of you are still
struggling to find the perfect gift for the man in your life!  Lucky for you my very own Valentine helped me put together a list of great guy gifts!  A few are classic and a few are edgy but there is definitely something for everyone in this mix!  If they get my hubby's stamp of approval - being as picky as he is - then I know 
your guy will love them!

Still searching for gifts for the girls?

I have to start this out by saying I love Valentine's Day. 
I completely understand that it's not for everyone but I think it's so sweet
to have a day to celebrate love.  I'm sure there were years in my singleness 
that I felt differently, but as I've gotten older I've decided that there are so many
people in our lives that deserve to have their love celebrated than just those that 
we might be in a relationship with.  So yes, I love love. And with that being said, 
think it's a great idea to show a little token of our love through gifts. Here are 
few of my picks for the ladies!  While my hubs and I have taken a different route
 for our gifts this year (we bought ourselves tickets to 2 summer concerts: She 
& Him and Fall Out Boy) these are the items that I would have loved to have
 received! Check back on Wednesday to see my top picks for the guys!
