My Funny Valentine - Emily Tierney
I’ve never been much of a one for Valentine’s Day. Vomit inducing instagram posts, cheap garage flowers and tacky ‘Me To You’ teddy bears from Clintons just don’t do it for me I’m afraid. Now, I realise I’m being a bit of an unromantic misery and maybe if someone with impeccable taste (MY taste) showered me with gifts on Valentine’s Day, I wouldn’t mind at all…
So get ready to drop some serious hints because I’ve found some lovely things that would melt even the hardest heart. And if you’re single, I’d use Valentine’s Day as an excuse to completely and utterly spoil yourself (because quite frankly no one should love you more than yourself).
This Valentine’s I’ll pass on the flammable-looking shiny, red, nylon underwear and raise you Dora Larsson lingerie. Guaranteed to make any woman look and feel incredible. And if you aren’t one for fancy pants what could be more luxurious than the 100% Silk Pyjamas in ‘Claret Rose’ from ESPA.
If you’re staying in, set the scene with these beautiful, hand-painted heart candles from Original Studios. And if you’re going out the beautiful ‘Ruffle Mini Dress’ in red floral from Aligne (worn by Emily in the photos) will make you feel a million dollars. The cut is super flattering and the dress will look great with heels and boots. For something a little longer, the ‘Steph Love Heart’ Dress from Rixo is Valentine’s perfection.
If fresh flowers are your thing, accept nothing less than Bloom & Wild. Their beautiful blooms last for weeks and fit through the letterbox so you’ll never miss a delivery. For gifts that will last a little longer and bring you joy all year long, head to Anthropologie - I have my eye on their Laetitia Rouget ‘Valentine Mug’ and ‘Close’ wall art print.
And if you’re opting for more of a ‘Self Love Day’ I’d highly recommend a long soak in the bath with a OUAI ‘Chill Pill’ - bath bombs formulated to restore a sense of peace and harmony. Pour yourself a large glass of vino, pop on a Living Proof ‘Restore & Repair’ hair mask and stick on your favourite Rom Com. See you in March, lovers!
