valentine bumper post

Valentine's Day was yesterday! Unfortunately, the Patient Photographer was a wee bit sick to fully participate but I did get some tasty heart-shaped iced gingerbread and full command of the DVD player, resulting in an afternoon of Love Actually and First Daughter. Yusss! So in my real life, my Valentine's looked like this, complete with a transcription of a text conversation I had at 9:30 pm. Guess which one I am. It should be easy.




But in the parallel life which, some physicists believe, I may be living right now, my Valentine's was more akin to this:

♥ This hair with any combination of the dresses, shoes or accessories below ♥


Pictures of dresses and jewellery from netaporter.com
Pictures of shoes from barneys.com

♥ At any of these locations ♥



Although I missed Valentine's by about a day, I thought this would be the perfect occassion to share the love, in the guise of a beautiful blog award - one of the loveliest I've seen. Thank you, Anna at Much Love for passing this award on to me. Stopping by your blog is like pulling up a seat at my favourite cafe; warm, familiar, and a true treat.



I pass these on to four of my favourite blogs run by people I view as kindred spirits:

Lauren and Cath at Asian Cajuns
Emily at Resplendent Tranquility
The Clothes Horse at The Clothes Horse
Natelle at The Romantic Apple

And four of my newly-discovered blogs which I am so happy to have stumbled across:

Jenny Cindy at cinderella
Hippie Frou Frou at Hippie Frou Frou
Antonia at Live Glam or Die
Pretty Little World at Pretty Little World

Big post-Valentine's smooches to you all and please pass it on if you're so inclined.

25 presents:

I like the combination of pictures in this post (and in your all blog - it is very nice and warm here :-) and I adore the shoes! they are beautiful!

Louise said...

That doesn't sound like such a bad way to spend such a cold day - especially with such divinely sweet looking cookies! But al fresco dining in those spots would quite possible be the ultimate.

Iced gingerbread! Mmm! I was just thinking about Love Actually today and how I only wanted to watch the storyline featuring Colin Firth, hehe :)

Thank you for the award, Ana! I feel so honored that you consider me a kindred spirit! :)

Have a great week!

Marcella said...

Oh yays I am back at last!! First stop was this place :p

Have you got a new camera in the space of my absence? The image clarity has increased 100 fold!! Love it. Espeesh that ocean shoot with the seaweed.

I got food for Valentines day too lol, my boyf made me a breakfast of hotcakes and in return I cut out "I <3 u" and left the pieces for him. Teehee.

Is that dress Preen? I love that it's almost bodycon but without the repetitiveness of the "herve leger" look. Although I can't really talk cos I did recently purchased a bandage dress ripoff...

AsianCajuns said...

Thank you Ana! The kindred spirits feeling is totally mutual!

Wouldn't it be so fun if we could all have an international blogger meet up at one of the locations you have in this post and all get dressed up in outfits from netaporter and barney's?!

I wonder if I can get my hair to curl like that...maybe with a whole can of hairspray!

CHIC Sensibility... said...

Stay chic!

[Tara] said...
