A plan for valentine’s day

Do you have a plan for Valentine’s Day? Somehow it’s already February. How did that happen? Valentine’s Day is sneaking up on us (as it often does), and we want to know: What are your plans? Maybe you have a weekend getaway planned. Or perhaps a fun day out. Maybe you don’t have anything planned at all, and that’s ok! We’ve got some fun shoppable ideas to help enhance your Valentine’s Day. Whether as a gift for yourself or someone else, we support your choice!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

A Weekend away

If you were forward-thinking enough to plan a weekend away for Valentine’s Day, we commend you. Whether you’ve planned a trip with a partner or with your best friends, these getaway essentials are sure to elevate your trip. We love the two-tone stripe on this Lunya Washable Silk High Rise Pant Set, with the matching Silk Sleep Mask, of course. As we’ve mentioned previously, these Cadence Capsules are incredible and compact for a short weekend trip. Pack them in your Cuyana Mini Heart Case (inside our favorite Nobl Carry-On: All-in-One) for a holiday nod without being too over-the-top!

A Cozy Morning at Home

Let’s be honest, most of us would be happy to have our plan for Valentine’s Day be “stay home for the day.” We fully support a planned day of rest, with some cute details to make it extra cozy. Between the current weather and the cute factor of Negative Underwear’s Whipped Long Sleeve and Long Underwear, you’ll wonder why you ever wore anything else. Maybe you can convince someone else to make breakfast on Valentine’s Day while you enjoy a hot cup of coffee from this Bistro Tile Stoneware Mug. Eat your healthy but delicious pancakes on the matching Bistro Tile Stoneware Dessert Plate. Then see what else you can get away with not doing for the rest of the day.

Pair it with these Everlane Twisted Seam Barrel Pants and some fun accessories like the Jenny Bird Art Heart Earrings, a practical tote, and a bag charm.
