The day of love! So many look forward to this day, while others absolutely dread it! Hopefully for most, this is a day to celebrate love and friendship, whether you are in a serious relationship or not. We all have friends, family members, co-workers,neighbors, or even a pet that we can celebrate with.
If you’re like me the thought of candy and/or flowers is old and quite honestly, really boring. I’m one who likes to get something that I know my husband put some thought into. It doesn’t have to be anything big and expensive, I just want something that shows me he was thinking about me, and not just because he realized what day it was on the way home from work (hence why I’m not a fan of flowers and candy).
This year, we did our shopping for each other at Uncommongoods. They have such fun and unique gifts, and it was really fun trying to decide on what to get each other. I ended up getting my husband, this clock, and he gave me an engraved necklace that I absolutely love!
I’ve put together a Valentine’s Day Gift Guide from Uncommongoods. These gifts work for anyone in your life, and I guarantee they will love anything from this list more than flowers or candy!
Head over to Uncommongoods and look under the “Gifts” Tab to find these and other fun and unique gifts.

I remember as a child, my mom would buy me two pair of sandals come spring. One brown pair and one white pair. As a child that was great! They were (and still are) neutrals. Both pair went with anything and everything. Fast forward a couple decades, and my shoe choices have far surpassed neutrals. Don’t get me wrong, I still love a good neutral sandal, but I enjoy adding color options as well. With that being said, I wanted to share three easy ways to style these great Vera navy sandals by Dansko. Now you’re probably thinking, but wait, navy IS a neutral. While that is true, it’s also a great color option as well. Plus, if you’re anything like me, I just can’t get enough of navy blue come spring and summer. These Vera sandals are from Zappos and come in 5 different colors.
Look #1: Casual
This look is so easy to achieve! Throw on a pair of denim jeans (or shorts), add a cute tee, and instead of wearing flip flops (which are meant for the beach or pool only), or sneakers, add these cute and comfy sandals to complete the look. Dansko is known for its comfortable shoes, and I love how comfortable these sandals are. They are the perfect addition for your casual outfit while your running errands, chasing kids at the park, travel, or what ever life throws at you.
Look #1: Tee || Jeans (similar) || Dansko Vera Sandals c/o || Sunglasses
Look #2: Monochromatic
I love a good monochromatic look! If done correctly, this look is chic and sophisticated! I’m one who tends to stay away from looks that are too matchy-matchy, but that is not the case here. While this outfit is not technically a full on monochromatic look, you get the picture. The outfit flows nicely and looks complete and put together.
Look #2: Tie Tee || Gingham Pants || Dansko Vera Sandals c/o || Sunglasses ||
Look #3: Sporty Chic
I love the way this outfit came together. I took what is normally more of a “dressy” outfit and made it more of a sporty look, just by adding a casual sandal instead of a flat or heel. This is one of my go to looks for warmer weather. Because I don’t love shorts, you’ll often see me in a skirt or dress that I have dressed down simply by adding a casual sandal or tennis shoe.
Look #3: Scallop Top || Stripe Bow Skirt || Dansko Vera Sandals c/o || Sunglasses
I’d love to know your thoughts. Which styling of the navy sandals did you like the most? Head over to Zappos.com to see all the cute Dansko sandals for Spring.
I received a ticket in exchange for a review on the museum. All opinions are my own.
When I think of Las Vegas, a few things come to mind. Casinos, Buffets, Weather, and Lights! It’s impossible to drive through Las Vegas at night and not be mesmerized by all those lights!
On our recent trip to Las Vegas, one of the things I wanted to do most, was visit The Neon Museum. The Neon Boneyard, as it is refereed to, houses iconic signage dating back to the 1930’s. Many of the Neon signs you’ll see are from old casinos such as, the Riviera, Binion’s, The Stardust, and The Sahara.
Being a huge Elvis Presley fan, the highlight of the tour for me, was seeing the Lamp from the Aladdin Casino, where Elvis and Priscilla were married in 1967.
The Museum is located on the north end of Las Vegas Blvd. and is open for guided tours seven days a week. You are able to enjoy a tour of the Boneyard, day or night. We booked a day tour, as I really wanted to see and photograph the signs. However, I think a night tour would also be fun. During the night tours, you witness the neon lights on 11 of their restored signs, as well as their un-restored signs which are lit with ground lighting.
We had a great time on our tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot not only about neon signs, but also the history of Las Vegas. If you in Vegas with an hour to spare, be sure and stop by The Neon Museum! Tickets can be purchased here. I suggest purchasing early, as tickets do sell out quickly.
