Hi guys!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and this year I wanted to make a post about the most romantic holiday of the year. Wether you see it as a mood board, a secret wishlist or just some inspiration to dress up, I hope you like it! :) There are two themes: Femme fatale and Soft romance. Despite I (and probably many other woman) love a femme fatale look, I'll be wearing something inspired by the other one. The main reason is that we're going to a casual birthday party in our local youth club, and also because I want to wear my new flower dress (seen in the previous post) with over knee socks.

So, which one is your favourite? And do you have plans for Valentine's Day? I'd love to hear!

Love,
Siel

L.O.V.E.

Yup, definitely going to wear bright red lips more often!

But that being said, with Valentine's day coming up Brilliant Earth asked me to describe my interpretation of the word love. Not as easy as I thought apparently, it kept me busy for days! I'm not sure about my opinion yet, it is an interesting subject to philosophy about in the future, but this is what I've got to say about love for now.

We use the word 'love' so often. We fall in love with shoes, with the newest Proenza Schoeler handbag. But do we actually love those Prada pumps? Are you in love with your Dior blush? Of course not.

Maybe we are overusing the expression 'to love something' a little too much. Lately it seems like we have forgotten what 'to love' really means. It means caring about a person, missing them when they are away. I haven't figured out yet if it means the same as true love, were people in the movies always seems to be obsessed by. But it sure is something to desire and cherish.

Wishing you all the best in love and a great Valentine!

Stay tuned for another V-day's post coming soon.
