My Valentine's Day picks

Valentine's Day is approaching in a mere two weeks. For those of you who are married or in a relationship with someone special it means an amazing day filled with romantic gestures, flowers and chocolate. Now...I know what some of you are thinking. "But I'm single, it's going to be a horrible day. I'm going to lock myself in and gain, like, 5 kilograms with all the chocolate I'm going to fill my stomach with." 

Well, no. 

Even if you are a single lady, it doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy it - go out for dinner with the girls, send each other some chocolates or have a best friend movie night with Breakfast at Tiffany's, silk pyjamas and macaroons, there's always a way to have a great time! Researching items for this 'gift guide' was way more fun for me that it should have been (seeing as the only possible person who could buy them for me is myself), so enjoy it - send it to your boyfriend, best friend, or if you like it, then put a ring on it and get yourself a little gift to show yourself some love. And always remember: you have to learn to love yourself first before you can learn to love someone else.

With peach, jasmine, rose and musk scents it really is the perfume you can wear anywhere. Not to mention it was Audrey Hepburn's signature scent!

Bisous bisous,
