Love to Love

February 3, 2016

The Dolls love to love everyone on every day… but we all know that there is one special day when cupid is out and about shooting off love arrows left & right. That’s right, Valentine’s day is here and we’re asking you… Will you be our Valentine?

Sweatshirt: Wildfox (we also love), Dress: Urban Outfitters (similar – and cute on its own), Boots: Guess (our lust list option – but we also love these)

Believe it or not the Dolls’ favorite part of Valentine’s Day, are not things… They’re experiences. Can you believe there are things to do on Valentine’s Day other than going to dinner in a jam-packed restaurant? Don’t get us wrong… we love date night but as per usual we like to break the rules.

A blissful moment on the dance floor can remain frozen in time. The Dolls will be spending this Valentine’s Day with their adorable boyfriends at the House of Blues Chicago to experience famed jam band STS9.

About

Once upon a time... there were two best friends that lived in a Dollhouse. That's where the story began. While the pages of this digital storybook keep turning, one thing remains the same. Caitlin and Dani are by each other's side through the ups, downs and all the realness in between.
