3 Last Minute Valentine's Day Ideas {& Outfits to Match}

Ah Friday, you are the sweetest music to my very tired ears. Anyone else feel exhausted from this week?

But enough about my lack of sleep, we have Valentine's Day rapidly approaching and if you're like me and my husband, no plans have been made (whoops!). Have no fear, for both your sake and mine I've put together a quick list of Valentine's Day date ideas that can be just as romantic as that pre-fixed dinner menu you had your eye on. 

• night at the arcade: If you have your heart set on venturing out Saturday night, plan a date that is casual and lets you indulgence in friendly competition. Pick a casual place for dinner that you've been dying to try (think artisan hot dogs, new burger place, etc.) and end the night battling it out at an arcade or pool hall. My husband & I took this approach last year and had one of our best Valentine's dates ever. outfit: baublebar earrings / topshop jacket / sincerely jules tee / topshop trousers / asos bag / asos loafers

• valentine's brunch: I'm totally biased considering my passion for brunch, but swapping your meal out on February 14th from dinner to breakfast can have many perks. It's my favorite way to check out a new restaurant that is a bit on the pricey side since breakfast is almost always going to be less expensive, you will avoid the crazy Valentine's Day rush and who can say no to a mimosa? Also, this is a great alternative for those who don't have a traditional 9-5 schedule. outfit:j.crew turtleneck (under $40!) / madewell jeans / zara vest / madewell heels (similar for less at sole society) / bauble bar necklace

• cozy night at home: After a long week, sometimes there is nothing better then hanging out at home. Pull out that recipe that you've been meaning to try (or order your favorite meal for takeout!) and gather all the blankets and pillows to make a big fort-style bed in the living room (because why not act like a kid again!) for a movie, or netflix marathon. outfit: h&m tee / topshop joggers / madewell socks / nordstrom rings / new balance tennis shoes

How are you celebrating Valentine's Day this year?
