I am probably going to surprise you but I am NOT wearing my heart throb shirt today. Too easy. No, I am kidding, it's because it's cold, my throat is sore and I don't feel like wearing a silk shirt. This is my Valentine's OOTD:
I don't know if you can see in the picture above but the scarf has a heart print. It was a gift from a friend who used to live in NYC and lives now in London, she put it in my husband's suitcase the last time that he went to London for work and visited them. Anyway, you can see the print better below (it gets bigger towards the end of the scarf). It is super-cute and because it's gray it manages to be wearable beyond Valentine's Day but I have to admit that I had saved it for today.
I am going to take my daughter to a Valentine's Day dance party, so I am going to add a fun accessory:
UPDATE:
The Valentine's party had a dress code of dresses or skirts for women, so I changed and did wear my heart throb shirt after all, with my Gap pleated skirt and the bright papaya cashmere cardigan (plus cute orange bow flats, not pictured):
My husband is already in Miami so this is going to be it, as far as celebrations go. We wanted to have a pre-Valentine's dinner on Sunday (at home) but he was half sick and I wasn't feeling well either. I did bake my favorite chocolate cake though and we listened to our Valentine's Day playlist. Speaking of Valentine's songs, I want to share my favorite love songs:
1) "I will possess your heart" by Death Cab for Cuties
2) "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley
3) "Playground love" by Air
4) "If you leave me now" by Chicago
5) "Your ex lover is dead" by Star
I give "I will possess your heart" the top position because it is a song where music and lyrics are incredibly cohesive. It is basically a guy whos says to his love interest if you give me some time you will fall in love with me at the end and that's exactly what the music does to the listener, if you listen long enough it is very rewarding (warning: it's not for everyone, the first 5 minutes are purely instrumental and you have to like rock music).
Are you wearing hearts today? What's your favorite love song? Please share in the comments and happy Valentine's day everyone!




I love that gray heart scarf - so pretty! Your second outfit looks fabulous. If the heart shirt ever makes it to sale, I'll have to try it. I've got that same papaya cardigan and your pairing is genius. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love both outfits, Ema! I see your hoodie is still getting lots of love :) I may have to pick on up for myself if it ever goes on sale.
ReplyDeleteIs it pilling at all? Are you having any trouble with the wrists being loose?
I love the heart throb outfit (esp with the glasses!) and a gray scarf. I wore the Winsome dress that I posted on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI love that shirt! I always stare at it at J.Crew and that scarf is adorable :)
