Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is almost here, and this year I’m fully leaning into the pink, red, and heart-eyed vibes. Between hosting a Galentine’s-themed baby sprinkle and hunting down actually cute Valentine’s finds, I’ve been having way more fun with this holiday than usual.
I’ve rounded up updated picks across fashion, accessories, and little festive details, whether you want to subtly nod to Valentine’s Day without committing to head-to-toe hearts, or you’re looking for something that feels a little more playful and fun. I also made it my personal mission to find adorable Valentine’s options for toddlers and babies of all genders, because why is it so hard to find festive pieces for toddler boys? Rude.
We still don’t usually go all out for Valentine’s Day, but one tradition that never changes is my dad’s famous heart-shaped cutout cookies. It’s the kind of simple, nostalgic thing that makes the day feel special without any pressure… and that’s very much the energy I’m channeling with this guide.
And if you are looking for something a little spicier, I’ll point you toward my dedicated lingerie guide, where I keep all of those more grown-up finds in one place. Whether you’re celebrating with your partner, your friends, your kids, or just treating yourself, I hope this guide gives you a little inspiration to enjoy Valentine’s Day your way.
Let’s get into it.

Sweaters & Tops
Whether you’re fully leaning into Valentine’s Day or just want a subtle nod to the holiday, this roundup includes festive sweaters and tops that feel wearable, not over-the-top. Think soft knits, pops of pink or red, and heart details you won’t regret wearing long after February 14. These are the kind of pieces that work for a cozy night in, a casual dinner out, or even everyday wear when you want something fun but still practical.
FEELING A LITTLE SPICY?
If you’re looking to elevate your intimates, I recently put together a comprehensive lingerie guide designed for every body. It’s where I share my go-to picks that balance confidence, comfort, and style. You can also browse the undergarments section of the blog, especially my fit-focused brand roundup, for pieces that prioritize support and style. And if you’re specifically shopping for something a little sexier, that guide has you covered.

Shoes & Accessories
Not ready to commit to heart-clad clothing? Accessories are the answer. From fun bags and headbands to festive earrings and shoes, these pieces add a Valentine’s-inspired touch while still feeling wearable long after February 14.

Picks for the kids
From cozy pajamas to the sweetest little sweaters, these Valentine’s Day–inspired finds are perfect for adding a festive touch to your little one’s wardrobe. I focused on comfortable, wearable pieces that feel fun without being over-the-top… and yes, I made sure to include options for all kids, not just the traditionally “girly” stuff. Whether you’re dressing them for a heart-themed playdate, daycare, or a cozy day at home, these picks are equal parts cute and practical… because everyone deserves a little extra love this time of year. I bought the first two sets for Conrad!
