Perfecting the Art of Conversuasion

Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve

By

… 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 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!

      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

    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!

      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!

      :) 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!

    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.

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

    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!

    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

    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.

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