February may be the hottest month of
the year, yet things are heating up even further as February the 14th is right
around the corner. Whether you adore Valentine’s Day, think it should be a
national-no-school-holiday, or a short, chubby toddler coming at you with
a weapon isn’t your idea of “romantic”, one thing is for certain; Godiva dark
chocolate truffles will be 50% off on the 15th!
When I was five I wanted Valentine’s
Day to be something out of a fairy-tale tale; like Romeo and Juliet. I know
Romeo died, but he died for something compelling, and I wanted my day to be
something to die for! Let’s just say it ended in heartbreak…
“Wanna sit on the swings together?”
“Go away!”
Love is in the air. It’s on the tips of
our tongues. It’s what we’re thinking about before we fall asleep. But
just because the world has turned into one gigantic BE MINE conversation heart,
doesn’t mean some of us don’t dread the approaching onslaught of teddy
bears, roses and dimly lit restaurants. It's funny to remember on this day that
one of the most important relationships I have in the world is not with a
boyfriend, but with a best friend!
Shakespeare didn’t write sonnets about star sign
compatibility and Nicholas Sparks didn’t write “The Notebook” about stimulating
conversations and shared life interests. “The real loves are the crazy ones!” Like
my love of fashion. Take a look at my February Favourites of all of the things
that have stolen my heart. After
all, if a man doesn’t fit, you can’t exchange him seven days later for a
gorgeous Balenciaga bag!
And if you want to be someone’s sweetheart, why
not donate to Heart Kids; an organisation helping to fight childhood
heart disease. The cost of a dozen red roses will help to transport sick
children and their parents to and from hospital for surgery and other
treatment.
Now if
you'll excuse me, I’m playing Cupid and have a Valentine's vendetta to carry
out.
Xx
