Hello, Lovers. I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but believe it or not February will be here in virtually no time at all, meaning sneaky cupid is currently sharpening his pretty little arrows. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, but it’s hard to believe that in just a few weeks some of you will be dancing around with little pink cartoon hearts for pupils. I can’t say that I’m much different, because deep down inside just about everyone wants to be gifted a box of dark chocolate covered strawberries, from a special someone, right? Perhaps I’m feeling a bit nostalgic today, but I couldn’t help but think about this lovely little holiday that’s right around the corner.
I know what you’re thinking… how can I be concerned with Valentine’s Day when we’ve yet to celebrate Groundhog Day?! To be quite frank, I love winter in Pennsylvania and always secretly hope that little creature sees the biggest shadow ever, and flees back to his crummy hole for six weeks and then some. Especially this year, seeing as though we haven’t even really had a Pennsylvania winter. I’m ready to bust out my toboggan, whip some snowballs at you when you least expect it, and drink some hot chocolate already.
Seeing as though I haven’t been able to do any of that, yet, I have had ample time to search for pretty little Valentine’s Day inspired treasures and trinkets that are flirty and fun, to say the least. In fact, a lot of these items are quite Spring-like, which may help some of you Winter-haters get through these Winter months that {hopefully} lie ahead.
1. Find It in Your Heart Handbag, $54.99, ModCloth. This vintagey little handbag would be the perfect accessory to any Valentine’s Day look (or any look any day, for that matter). The gold hardware gives it the perfect amount of edge. www.modcloth.com
2. Floral Mary Jane Platforms, $25.80, Forever21. These ankle strap Mary Janes are so sweet I can barely live without them. The price won’t break your pockets and they can be worn to spice up a pair of black cigarette pants or breathe new life into your favorite LBD. Mary Janes available at Forever 21 stores and www.forever21.com
3. Love Blood Scarf Set, $36, The Purple Zebra. Hand crochet scarf, headband, and fingerless “txting” gloves make this set hard to resist. Pair this set with a cream colored wool coat and you’ll look like a Valentine’s Day goddess. The Purple Zebra is located in Bloomsburg, PA. For more information check out www.purplezebrashop.com

5. Shimmer Twins Purple Scatter Heart Lashes, $26.86, ASOS. I have no clue to what or why I would ever wear such a thing but I sort of want these. I sort of really want these, actually. Darling. www.asos.com

7. Call Me Fan, $8.95, ASOS. What does this remind me of? Those little NECCO sweethearts conversation candies, duh. You know the ones…. I believe they now say things like “tweet me”, as opposed to “call me”, but you catch my drift. This fan totally “rocks my world”. www.asos.com
8. Bird & Heart Pillow, $38, Etsy. I love searching Etsy for cutesy handmade items, and this pillow is just the dainty piece I was looking for. Add this pillow to a chair or sofa this time of year to brighten things up. After all, love is already in the air. www.etsy.com.
