seasonally yours -- valentine's day apparel.

ATTAINABLE: Gap Two-Tone Canvas Clutch in Saddle (also in Navy, Neon Coral, and Neon Yellow)
www.gap.com; $29.50
By the time spring rolls around, I'm always ready to ditch my heavy leather bags in favor of something smaller and lighter.  This oversized day clutch is absolutely perfect: it would hold everything that I need to tote without weighing me down.  I love it in the crisp white and neutral brown, but the bright coral and yellow hues are definitely appealing to me too.  And the canvas-leather contrast is absolutely to die for.

I always struggle with dressing for the holidays.  I love looking festive, but it crosses into tacky so quickly -- and I've never wanted to be mistaken for wall decor.  Red, pink, and hearts are of course cliche come Valentine's Day, but putting a fresh spin on these staples is a great way to celebrate without looking like a Hallmark leftover.  A neon pink nail polish, red lip, Cupid-inspired bangle, or abstract-printed shirt might be just what you need to really get you in the holiday mood.
