Red Hot Valentine

Dress up this Valentines Day without looking like you belong back in the second grade.  Show off your style by using the standard reds and pinks.  Check out some of our favorite outfit pairings that go from day to night easily.

Day at the Office

If you’re working this Valentine’s Day spruce up your business attire with a pair of texturized red hot pants.  Pair them with your favorite button down shirt or lace tee and blazer to spice up your ho hum work day.
Check Out These Red Hot Mamas!
Try out the current trend of printed pants with a solid color sweater.  We suggest a sleek ponytail and bright jewelry to make sure you don’t go overboard with the print.
Are These Pants Just Your Style?
Is your workplace a bit more formal?  Why not shake things up with a hot pink half circle skirt.  Try on a patterned button down shirt and formal black heels for more fun.


Ooh Lah Lah, A Skirt For You!
Be fun and flirty this Valentine’s Day with a red stripe dress and floral cardigan.  Use a black belt to cinch in the waist and show off your killer curves.
A Dress To Sail Away In.
Been chilly lately?  Swap a red hot leather jacket out for your usual blazer for a rocking look.  You can color block the jacket with a navy shirt and slacks.  Make sure to slip into those comfy motorcycle boots underneath your fancy pants.


Red And Black Is Back.
Be daringly fun with a vintage red or pink cape.  Wear a white high collared button down shirt with slender black pants to keep the attention on that fabulous cape.
Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf?

Date Night

Whether you are celebrating with that special someone or just going out for a night out with the girls here are some ways to style your wardrobe to take that day outfit to night.

Keep your red texturized pants and change your work shirt into your favorite tee, button (or unbutton as the case may be) that cardigan, slip into a pair of tennis, and wrap up in a printed scarf for a look that is sure to take you on all your nightly adventures.
Dress down those printed pants with a chambray shirt and gladiator sandals.  This breathable outfit will be perfect for hanging out at home or out on the town.
Play around with that hot pink circle skirt by adding a denim shirt and cheetah print wedges for dancing the night away.
Escape the office in style by adding a chambray shirt and some killer heels to that striped dress for a flirty comfortable look.
Put that red leather jacket to good use over the top of your best dress and go out tonight, you heartbreaker, you.
Don’t mess too much with your perfect outfit, even if it’s cold.  Use your red hot cape as your warm solution for outfits that don’t quite fit underneath that coat.
Picking a Valentines’ Day outfit should always be fun and easy, unlike making the night plans.  But, wherever you end up on this most romantic day we know you will look fabulous.
Happy Valentine's Day Treasure Chest Readers.

Snow Day Sweater Projects

January always has a few surprises up her sleeve; especially, snow days.  For a single day you get to hang out at home with no responsibilities, other than enjoying the warmth of your own house.  After that relaxing hour or so what are you going to do?
We decided to pull together 5 projects that are perfect for a snow day.  All you need are those old sweaters that nobody wears anymore.  You can even stockpile a few thrift store sweaters just for this occasion.  Grab your favorite hot drink and get crafty.

Get Moving

The New Year is just beginning and if you haven’t hopped on your Resolution list it can feel like you’re already behind.  You’re not!  Take the rest of this month to get up and get moving.

One of my own New Year’s Resolutions was to get healthy.  Like many American women with the stress of a job, school, and life my weight has been slowly tipping the scale.   This is one of the hardest resolutions to maintain.  I can’t tell you how many years I have written it down only to ignore it as soon as a sweet treat came into my life.  If you’re like me and you absolutely love junk food, television, and curling up on your couch then this is our rallying cry:  Get Moving! 

Here are 5 steps that will get all of us back on track.
