let's talk shop: valentine's day

i like to say that i am not a huge valentine's day person, but that's kind of a lie. i like any occasion that allows you to tell people how much you love them. granted, you should do that every day, but it's nice to have an occasion to really say how you feel. while chris and i don't go out for the day, i do have little ways to make it special ~ heart-shaped pancakes, cards around the house, presents for the kids...little things like that. maybe throw in a lap dance or some boudoir photos and call it a day. am i kidding about the last part? you'll never know.

i wanted to pull a few items from the etsy shop as a fun example of what i might wear on a fancy night out for valentine's day...if we were to go out.

the dress can be found here.

the coat can be found here.

my ponytail can be found in my linen closet.

and of course, no valentine's day is complete without gifts.

for her

vintage cable knit fringe cape

1920s whitman's chocolate ad

for him

vintage cocktail glasses

vintage love pictures

and of course, you need a little something to wear to bed...

be my valentine slip/dress

whether you are at home making pancakes for your kiddos, or out painting the town a perfect shade of valentine red, i hope your day is filled with love!!

xoxo,
