I wasn’t planning on talking about Valentine’s Day quite yet– there’s still so much I’m going to share about 2024! But brands started launching their collections right after New Year’s and it’s all just darling. What’s great about this holiday is that because hearts are such a universal symbol, a lot of it can be used all year round. I didn’t get around to decorating as much as I would have liked for Christmas, so it’s tempting to dive into all the best Valentine’s Day decor… I actually think you don’t need much to make a statement though, and a lot of the good stuff is relatively inexpensive. Win-win.
EMBROIDERED PILLOW // If I had a girl! This is so adorable. I love the stripes, the chain stitched embroidery, the lace and ric rac ruffles… All of it.
ROUND FRAME // At $5, why not?! The only thing I don’t like about it is the contrast between the ivory ceramic and the white mat, so I’d probably just remove the mat.
CONVERSATION HEART NAPKINS // These would be PERFECT for a Galentine’s Day dinner! They’re girly and on theme, but also fairly simple.
JUICE GLASS // We all know about Anthropologie’s iconic juice glasses– which are fully in stock in every style!– but these heart ones are $6 cheaper, which REALLY adds up if you want to buy multiple.
BOW DOORMAT // There are good bows and bad bows, but these bows are good– thin, curved, more loose, etc. The “lace” border is a fun accent.
CAMP FLAG // I found this searching for the best Valentine’s Day decor, but I’d probably hang this in my partner’s office or a boy’s room for most of the year. I love the nostalgia of a design like this!
What is better than a classic shift dress in the summer? This one is so cute– it’s constructed beautifully with lining and pockets and a sweet button closure at the neckline. Comment “shift dress” and I’ll send you a link with all the details of my outfit!
A follower DMed me this weekend inviting me to her mom’s house to cut some peonies from her garden. Garden is an understatement. It’s an exquisite path of peonies as far as the eye can see. I came a little past peak (and after a heavy rain storm)…. even still it was so magical it took my breath away. Oh and the scent? HEAVENLY. I cut a few stems to bring home and my whole car was filled with a pure peony fragrance. (Thank you, thank you!!!)
