While my husband and I don’t partake in the traditional Valentine’s Day customs of exchanging gifts or making elaborate dinner plans, I must confess that I genuinely appreciate the sentiment of the holiday. What’s not to love about expressing affection for family and friends?
Sentiments of love are imbued with heart and whimsy. I adore sending my kids to school with cards to exchange with classmates, and I relish using my heart-shaped muffin pan to bake sweet treats. With this penchant for romance and all things feminine, I’m excited to share some stylish and delightful finds that have caught my eye as Valentine’s Day approaches.
Hurkle-durkle in these PJs
If you haven’t seen the phrase “hurkle-durkle” in your social feed, allow me to explain. Recently popularized by a TikTok post from January 9, “hurkle-durkle” is an old Scottish term for lounging around in bed for a bit after your alarm has gone off. I’m a fan. Why not embrace the concept in a sweet pajama set that boasts heart-shaped buttons and a contrasting scalloped trim?

Wear your heart
Eighties-inspired, larger-than-life earrings are everywhere these days, so you’ll be able to enjoy these bold heart-shaped earrings now and long after Valentine’s Day.


Flowers from your valentine
I mentioned it last fall and I’m repeating it here: brooches are back. Pin this hand-embroidered and beaded floral brooch to the lapel of your jacket or coat. Voilà! It’s as if you received flowers from your valentine – and these won’t wilt!

Don’t waste time picking petals (long story short)
Unsure of your valentine’s commitment level? Oh, surely not! This chic Olympia Le-Tan clutch, adorned with a playful daisy and its associated phrase: “he loves me, he loves me not” puts an end to the suspense on its backside: he loves you.

A beautifully set table
If you're aiming to create a stylish ambiance for a festive holiday, consider setting the table and the tone with some rose-colored glasses (pun intended), pretty floral salad plates atop hand-painted dinner plates, and charming napkins.

However you observe it, may your Valentine's Day be filled with moments of connection and delight and a touch of style. Wishing you a love-filled day!
