L-O-V-E

Happy Valentine’s Day 2010 everyone, I know I am 1 day late. It just seems to be the way I’m operating lately, constantly running one day late. I hope Cupid was kind to everyone this year? I received a lovely bunch of flowers and a cute card from my Valentine. It was all pretty low key year this year with our April holiday adventure coming up – must save money for those San Fran shops and cupcakes! These are a few photos I took just after my Birthday, however they seem very suitable for Valentine’s. The glass bon bon jar was a gift from Miles (Zara Home I think). and the Sweets were from the glorious Hope and Greenwood. The book was a sketch book covered by me and the pom pom was left over from Christmas.

I didn’t leave the house all day on Valentine’s for feeling ill, I don’t know if anyone else is experiencing this but I have never been so poorly as I have this winter – so strange? These little felt hearts cheer me up they are great for decorating things and recently I gave two of them in a little gift box with a voucher to my cousin for her wedding present. Miles and I celebrated Valentine’s early this year, well Thursday to be exact. We went to Rich Mix to see Stornaway and Beth Jeans Houghton, both of which were brilliant! Stornaway are one talent band that make very beautiful music. It was a lovely evening, one to make me realise how lucky I am living in London, having such great access to such fun and inspiring things. Another inspiring thing is the The Book Club, where you can eat brunch and then play free ping pong in a pretty cool hang out. London, I love you!
Hello! For cupcakes you must check out Kara’s Cupcakes (the filled passionfruit one is amazing) and That Takes The Cake. The latter is my personal favourite for the names like “Prom Queen”. Can’t remember where they’re located, which is a bit lame of me, but I’m sure one of your many guidebooks will have all the details.
San Fran is amazing, you will have an awesome time. It doesn’t have the same glam “wow factor” as LA but I like the more low-key feel. Not sure how nature-y you are but you can do an exhausting-but-worth-it day trip from there to Yosemite National Park.
Enjoy! x
ohhh. lovely photos, lovely blog!!!
Hi Naomi,
Many thanks for the lovely recommendations for cupcakes – I will check those out for sure. The more cake the better! we are off to Yosemite for 2 days as we travel down the coast, we plan to hire bikes and explore as much as possible – I love the outdoors! Eeekk I really can’t wait and hearing peoples tips just make me want to pack my suitcase and head off tonight. Thanks again – have a lovely week. x
