friday i am in love with…

…a spring valentine’s day. well, actually we don’t care much about valentine’s day. not that we’re not romantic… well, actually we’re not that romantic, but i believe that love is about accepting the other as is and growing together. that being said, there is also the fact that mr twiggs is not the kind of man that shows me his love when i want to, but he knows exactly when i need him to. so valentine’s day is something that we don’t celebrate, so that we can enjoy random surprises or going-out-to-dinner plans! but on the other hand, valentine’s day is all around us right now and as we are having quite sunny (though very cold) days, i thought it would be nice to celebrate valentine’s day outside, pretending to feel a warmer temperature, so that we can take a walk out to lunch, and then get back home to be surrounded by beautiful new things. or you can also call this “honey, i’m looking gorgeous and i want these things for our home as valentine’s gifts!”.

oh and one other thing, while i was in new york i also fell in love with two stores, j. crew and crate & barrel. i already knew these online, but delighted myself visiting the actual stores and… shopping! not much, but at least the flats below came with me. how could they not? so today everything comes from these two stores! enjoy!

1. refined silk-cashmere wrap 2. sequin-stripe v-neck sweater 3. braided leather belt 4. enamel stripe oval bangle 5. toothpick jean in garment-dyed twill 6. enamel locket necklace 7. biennial satchel 8. classic leather ballet flats

1.zing green table lamp 2. anora 18″ pillow 3. woven picnic basket 4. citrus stripe mug 5. chase yellow plate 6. hailey shadow throw

oh and don’t go away, because soon i’ll be back with something more for valentine’s day… or any other day you wish to celebrate something happy!
