Valentine's Day is almost upon us and I've been remiss not to share my wishlist. With a little help from Shopbop's Valentine's Day gift guide, I put together quite the list of things that make my heart skip a beat. The romantic holiday has always been a favorite of mine and this year I'm obsessing over all things ladylike (okay, not ALL things... that "I love the sh*t out of you" glass is hardly demure) and lacy. Aside from Saturday being our official "moving day", I've got plans to dress up in something pretty and Mr. Jackson has already made dinner reservations.

Here's to a happy love day! What's on your wishlist?

p.s. I am participating in an ongoing partnership with Shopbop, however, all opinions and words are my own. It is my policy to only select goods and companies that I truly believe in and wish to share with you. Thank you for supporting the brands that make Chelsea & The City possible.

Valentine's Day is tomorrow, can you believe it? 2014 is definitely flying by and this particular holiday (no matter how many times I penciled it in on various calendars) kind of sneaked up on me. Since Mr. Jackson grabbed his keys and whizzed past in a mad dash to make it to a few shops yesterday, it's probably safe to assume that there a few of you (or a few of your hunnies) who have yet to find the perfect trinket for Friday. Fear not, a browser strategically left open to this little wishlist will calm all of your qualms... you're welcome!

Is it me or are men really hard to shop for? When it comes down to it, I always dread finding the perfect gift for Mr. Jackson. Not this year! I've picked out an assortment of classic American pieces that even I'm secretly adding to my wishlist. That sweater? It's perfect for keeping cozy apres-ski and I would definitely steal it from his closet. A subscription service that'll send him a whole box of options handpicked just for him? That sounds like the gift that keeps on giving. Whatever your man's (or brother's/dad's/etc.'s) style, there's one rule I stick to around the holidays: Men like to be gifted practical items that they wouldn't necessarily splurge on.
