Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve

January 25, 2013 By Lena

… or on your iPhone case, or on your shoes. This season, show the world that Love Conquers All – especially when it comes to your fashion choices.

The heart is a staple in style – transcending time and relevant year round. Who hasn’t seriously considered a variety store purchase of heart-shaped sunglasses? Most fashion icons have been photographed wearing the playful style at least once (if you’re Nicole Richie or Kelly Osbourne, multiple times).


Heart-themed clothing and accessories are fun, flirty and of course, romantic. The sweet pattern enlightens your mood and puts a spring in your step. And with Valentine’s Day around the corner, consider investing in a few key pieces that you can wear throughout the year. Here are my picks for affordable ways to put your heart in it – all under $60!

    I love hearts. It’s so feminine.
    I adore that heart wristlet! I must have it.

      Me too! I haven’t owned a Coach wristlet in so long, but this one is really calling my name :)

    Love the sunglasses! too cute

    • Lena

      :) I had a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses in grade school, wish I still had them!

    I love these ‘heart fashions’. I still have an Old Navy Valentine’s T-Shirt from several years ago…it is now a not very sexy PJ top. I bought it after Valentine’s Day for a very low price…something like $1.50!

      Now THAT is a steal! I admit to stocking up on Old Navy Christmas-themed pjs after the holiday in 2011 – for something like $3 per bottom. I saved them and broke them out before Christmas 2012 – I felt very festive, and very frugal!

    I love that tunic, the long and flow-y style that is in now, is so flattering.

    • Lena

      January 26, 2013 at 4:00 pm

      Love it too! In fact, I ordered it yesterday!

    That dress is cute. Maybe a little busy for a grown woman but a teen, sure.

    • Lena

      January 26, 2013 at 4:01 pm

      Oh, there’s no age limit on heart fashion Freda! I think the heart dress would be perfect paired with a jean jacket :)

    I have a few heart pieces (mostly gifts of jewelry from hubs or the kids) but I was never really drawn to the shape. Now give me a heart shaped skull image and Im all over that! =D

    • Lena

      January 26, 2013 at 4:04 pm

      I like it – dangerously romantic! Works for me!

    I love the heart shaped design but I don’t think I have anything heart shaped. I really like the wristlet. I would definitely use this. I also think the shortie panties are just too cute!

    • Lena

      January 26, 2013 at 4:05 pm

      You’ll have to remedy that, Lee! I love that you can sport the style all year round.

    I love little heart patterns, so cute :)

    • Lena

      January 26, 2013 at 4:06 pm

      I agree, Amanda!

    PLEASE tell me where to get the iPhone case!! LOVE!!

    • Lena

      January 26, 2013 at 4:07 pm

      Haha you can pretty much get it from anywhere… in the States. Nordstrom, Macy’s, or Saks – they all ship to Canada, and that’s why I included it in my roundup. BUT, the shipping charges aren’t always attractive. If you have a Holt Renfrew in your area, you can also find it there!

    OOooooohhhhh!! I am in love with that tunic and the TOMS. Where do I find these??!

    • Lena

      January 26, 2013 at 4:12 pm

      :) The tunic can be found at http://www.modcloth.com. Shipping to Canada is only $8 – and you’ll have to pay a few bucks for taxes/duty – but well worth it for the gorgeous tunic! I’ve already ordered one :)

      The TOMS shoes you can grab online at any TOMS distributor. I found them on clearance on Thursday but now I can’t find the site with the exact style :( If I come up with them I’mm e-mail you!

    Great picks! Love how pretty all the pieces are. The Coach purse is my favourite!

    • Lena

      January 26, 2013 at 4:17 pm

      You have exceptional taste, RubyRed!

    Happy Saturday, Lena. They are all fun ideas and you are so right hearts do put a spring in your step. Who knew there were so many products out there.

    • Lena

      January 26, 2013 at 6:33 pm

      Happy Saturday Michelle! This is just a sample of products – love all the options!

    The phone case and the shoes are so cute. Haha cute undies too :). Happy Sunday.

    • Lena

      Thanks Ornella! Hope you had a great weekend!

    You hit the nail right on the head. The heart is my favourite shape and I love all these heart themed items.

    • Lena

      January 28, 2013 at 9:03 pm

      Wonderful Debbie, enjoy!

  15. Nicole W.

    January 27, 2013 at 4:19 pm

    OMG everything you posted is so cute! Love the tunic and the Coach wristlet, and the iPhone case! My fave, though, is the sunglasses! I searched everywhere for a pair of white heart-shaped sunglasses for my wedding, but to no avail… would still love to own a pair in a cute colour!

    • Lena

      January 28, 2013 at 9:07 pm

      Ah, that would have been so retro chic! I know it doesn’t help you now, but I recently grabbed a pair from Urban Outfitters – http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=23073471

      Super cheap quality but they do the job :)

    I have to admit that I have owned a few pairs of the heart socks well actually every valentines day when I see them I pick them up along with hohoho socks and halloween socks I like to dress for the seasons lol

    • Lena

      January 28, 2013 at 9:07 pm

      Love that Jennifer! It’s nice to let the season take over your mood – and wardrobe!

  17. Jenny

    January 28, 2013 at 3:25 am

    LOVE everything. Of course, wearing every one of these at the same time would be overkill (LOL) but everything is so cute and girly! Love it.

    • Lena

      January 28, 2013 at 9:08 pm

      Haha I do NOT advise you to wear these all at once – it would give someone a heart attack (pun intended!)

  18. Victoria Ess

    January 28, 2013 at 10:22 am

    That wristlet is under 60!?!?!?! Whoa, need it.

    • Lena

      January 28, 2013 at 9:08 pm

      Right?? Totally affordable and such a sweet way to romanticize your outfit!

    Love that Old Navy dress! But I can’t seem to find it on their website. :(

    • Lena
