The Maxi Dress: Yea or Nay

Happy Valentine's Day Friends! To celebrate, lets discuss the ever controversial maxi skirt/dress. We love it in theory, but it can be notoriously difficult to wear.

"I'm too tall" or "I'm too short" we hear all day long at the store. This spring I vow to not be afraid, I am going to dive right into the chic spring maxi. You wanna join?

Here is a great example. Bold colors and a great length. The belt and heels break it up. Mix with the fantastic, moppet haircut and you get adorable!

It's Love O'Clock! Lover-ly V-tines Gift Ideas.

Perhaps your boyfriend/girlfriend/best friend has been slyly trying to figure out what you would like for Valentines Day...."You like chocolate diamonds, right?" they inquire, oh-so-sneakily.

Look Le Vian, I like cheese and I like pudding, but I don't want cheese in my pudding. Therefore, please keep chocolate out of diamonds, they are much better served separately....

Don't open up chocolate diamonds on Tuesday. Give the hint for one of these instead, and save yourself awkward reactions and ugly jewelry financing payments...

What time is it? Why, it is love o'clock. Thank you so much for asking...(Japanese Floral watch necklace $28)

"I'd Give My Right Arm for Your Heart" necklace by fab local designer Love & Bones ($48).

Because just like the mini eco-system living in this fantastic terrarium necklace, love is a growing thang (Erica Weiner Pendant $40)

I love you knot...KNOT! Ha, get it? This lovely gold and rose gold Infinity Knot ring set from Erica Weiner makes for a very mature, "I am in total like with you" sort of gift (set is $30- size 6.5 available)

Take it home, Dolly! Nothing says "Lets keep hanging out and hopefully soon we could fall in love" quite like these awesome Love Lyric Heart Pendants from Erica Weiner (14K gold - $60, silver $50).

Please join us in saying 'no' to chocolate diamonds.

Iowa City Obsession: Soyphisticated Candles Iowa Prairie Wildflowers

If you have ever been sniffing around Revival, you may have noticed the banging candle we have perpetually burning at the counter. We love love love the Iowa Prairie Wildflower Soyphisticated Candle bought weekly at The Soap Opera. The scent of the candle, made in Mason City, is fresh and clean, and the candle is so locally made even the soy used to make it is grown in Iowa.

Try it, you will LOVE.
