Day or night, they are everywhere. Stars. Stars on errthang. Turn on Netflix and it's all about the Gilmore Girls and Stars Hollow. Apple Music? We get it The Weeknd: you're a starboy, starboy. Before I launch into this post, let me just remind you of the ridiculous lyrics to Starboy:

I'm tryna put you in the worst mood, ah
P1 cleaner than your church shoes, ah
Milli point two just to hurt you, ah
All red Lamb’ just to tease you, ah
None of these toys on lease too, ah
Made your whole year in a week too, yah
Main b*$%@ out your league too, ah
Side b*$%@  out of your league too, ah

House so empty, need a centerpiece
Twenty racks a table cut from ebony
Cut that ivory into skinny pieces
Then she clean it with her face man I love my baby

I don't get it. Just me? Why is his girlfriend cleaning a piano with her face? Does anybody else get these lyrics? Like, love you The Weeknd but.... Le Petit Prince is a legit, OG starboy. I guess Chris Hadfield could call himself a starboy if he really wanted to. Like I said, I don't understand what makes the Weeknd a starboy or why he'd ever want anyone to call him one.

Back to stars, though: I'm obsessed.  From Valentino and Alexander McQueen's starry fall frocks, to the street, where every fashion girl is currently going galactic, stars make everything look so much cooler. Whether you go dainty with a sweet silver star charm necklace or dare to rock stars all over with a metallic starry dress, forego every other print this season and reach for the stars. I don't know about you but I can't get enough. 

I've rounded up 39 starry finds I'm loving right now, perfect for adding a bit of celestial charm to your wardrobe this winter. Happy shopping!

RLR LOVES | Jenny Bird x Indigo

The Jenny Bird x Indigo collection just dropped today and I want everything. The pieces are dramatic and oversized and cool, and they're made by a Canadian designer, AND they're under $100. That pearl necklace! Gah. Those threader earrings! Yes. I'd just wear one at a time. Arghhh, I can't handle this decision on a Friday. I wouldn't wait on this one - a collection this good won't last long. Shop it here. Happy Fri! xx

 

RLR FINDS | Liza's Little Things

via Etsy

All of my jewellery is so small, gold and minimal right now that I'm craving something way more fun for summer. Can't get enough of these tassel necklaces I just found on Etsy by Liza's Little Things. My plain white tees and LWD's will die when they see these. 

That's all I've got. Time to shop. Happy Fri beauties!

PITTER, PATTER: 50 Valentine's Gifts They'll Love

Valentine's Day can bring out the best and worst in us all. The idea of someone standing outside your window John Cusack-style might make your knees buckle. For me, I'd be like, 'Dude, it's -30 out there. And seriously, it's 2014 - where did you find a boombox?' Same goes for rose petals (cheesy), chocolate-covered strawberries (kind of overrated - chocolate covered bananas are so much better), and anyone who plays the saxophone. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just..again, it's 2014 - where did you find a saxophone?

Yet sometimes, I am a surprising sucker for romance. Impromptu slow dances by the fire, Nicholas Sparks movies (I KNOW! I Can't. Help. It.), little love notes, pink peonies, or a bottle of champagne? I become so predictably starry-eyed that you might as well stick a long-stemmed rose between my teeth, sit me under a chocolate fountain, and put The Bachelor on repeat and I probably wouldn't even notice.

There's a very fine line between heart flutters and eye rolls but when it comes to romance, effort is everything. Whether you're the trunkloads of flowers type, or prefer to keep your gestures subtle and sweet, I've rounded up 50 pretty gifts to help make her (or his) heart go pitter patter this Valentine's Day. Don't even try to figure it out - love makes zero sense. Sigh...isn't it just the best?
