Ah, valentine's day - the most romantic day of the year, apparently.
February 14th dictates that it must be the most romantic day of the year, thereby making it the least romantic. What happened to spontaneity, ey? I'm not a big lover of the clichés when it comes to Valentine's day; I think the small gestures go a lot further. An overpriced restaurant full of anxious men getting down on one knee? No thanks. Breakfast in bed just because? That's more like it. However, with that being said, I am still a big believer in luxurious treats from time to time, but I think more and more women need reminding that you don't need a partner to shower you with gifts; you deserve to spoil yourself every once in a while! I've been single at Valentine's day, and it's only natural to feel a little bit left out when you're bombarded with photos of roses and little blue Tiffany boxes on Instagram come February 14th. So, this year why don't you all treat yourselves to a little luxury in February? January is normally the most depressing month in the calender. It brings with it the end of the festivites, the sickeningly long wait until payday and we've all grown sick of the freezing cold mornings and the incessant rain. Don't we all need deserve a little pick me up after that?
So, don't wait for a man to come along and spoil you this Valentine's day, do it yourself. I've compiled a list of all the little luxuries that I'll be dreaming of this February. Sadly, my bank balance isn't quite healthy enough to justify purchasing all of these little indulgences, but I think I will treat myself to some Astley Clarke jewellery, I've been lusting after a simplistic rose gold necklace for a while now, and this one was just love at first sight. An apt gift to myself this Valentine's day, don't you think? After all, rose gold will always outlive a real rose.
What are all of you lusting after this Valentine's day?
