Guest Post! Shape of My Heart from Indianapolis Amy

Hi, I’m Aimée and I blog at Indianapolis Amy.  I’ve been reading Elle Sees for a long time now.  Elle Sees is one of my daily blog reads because she always manages to shake it up and deliver fun and informative posts.  With that in mind—here’s a post, just in time for Valentine’s Day. 

I’ve got heart pin and a heart necklace, but I decided I needed to step it up a bit and buy a few new lovely heart things. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner (psst, a couple of weeks) and whether you’re married, coupled, single (or it’s complicated)… it’s reason to celebrate the love.  Here are a few fun and kitschy items I’ve got my eye on.

Top row (l to r):  watermelon lollipop at Crate&Barrel, $2.95; magenta/gold bracelet set at Forever 21, $6.80; French dove graphic tee at J.Crew, $36.50.

Middle row (l to r):  love on toast stamp at Francesca’s, $6.95; heart candleholder at Crate&Barrel , $0.50; heart shaped sunglasses at Fred Flare, $14.

Bottom row (l to r): LOVE tote bag at Indianapolis Museum of Art, $10; 30” heart rug at Urban Outfitters, $19; heart pj shorts at Forever 21, $6.80.

What about you?  Are you excited for Valentine’s Day?  Love it/Hate it? 
Do you wear a heart pin or jewelry in the days leading up to Valentine’s Day?  
How do ya celebrate?  With your plus one? A night out with friends?

    I buy my wife a nice card but that's about it. Perhaps I am heartless.

    I love Valentine's Day, but I don't usually decorate for it. I love the toast impression thing. I would love to surprise husband with that.
