In the words of Leslie Knope, Galentine's Day is "Only the best day of the year." Ladies celebrating ladies is definitely way better than any ordinary Valentine's Day. So get your girls together and celebrate!
Since Galentine's Day is just around the corner I've put together a little Galentine's Day guide for you! The best part is all of the products featured below are local! Which means you can have a fun little party for your friends and support your community in the process.
The first step to any party is finding your party outfit! All the looks in this post are available at Retro Rosie for you to pick up just in time for your Galentine's Day party! Retro Rosie is a new boutique located in the heart of Lakewood. They specialize in pin up fashions influenced by the 1920's - 1950's. Retro Rosie is the place for Galentine's Day dressing. I mean the walls of the shop are painted blush pink, and lined with racks of full skirts and fun accessories -- it's a Galentine's Day dream! Their retro style pieces add a little wink of fun to any outfit. Not to mention they carry a wide range of sizes to accommodate gals from petite to plus size.
Never show up to a Galentine's Day party empty handed! The perfect gift for your hostess? Beautiful flowers! Lush and Lovely Floristry is the perfect place for picking up some blooms before you head to your party. They offer hand tied bouquets and a range of arrangements just perfect for Galentine's Day! Everyone loves the gift of flowers, but Lush and Lovely's work takes it a step farther and turns flowers into a piece of art. In addition to offering flower arrangement, Lush and Lovely also does fun DIY classes and workshops (they're also BYOB). What a great idea for a Galentine's Day out!
Okay, no party is complete without snacks, namely sweet treats! If you're looking for something fun and personal check out CLE Hugs and Cookies. I may be a little biased since this is my Aunt cooking up cookies from her newly licensed home bakery, but the proof is in the cookies! She creates iced sugar cookies in a variety of shapes and designs to fit any party. She is currently running a Valentine's Day special where you can buy an assortment of hearts, lips, and X's and O's to send to your gals (or keep for yourself) for only $20!
