Thoughts on Valentine’s Day

My Valentine

I’m what you might call a very romantic girl. This is a fact, I love chick flicks, romance, candles, sweet dinners, listening to cheesy songs… well you see my point.

However, sometimes I don’t get the hype about Valentine’s day. Sure it’s nice to celebrate love, offer gifts etc; but I celebrate love all the time and I offer Antonin gifts very often. That doesn’t mean I won’t make something nice for him this year, but oh my, shops spam me with their Valentine’s Day emails and communiqués every single day and I’m starting to get sick of it. In fact, I’d rather make him something with my own hands than buy him something. (FYI, it’s already done but since he reads my blog, I won’t tell you what I did!)

So no, I won’t buy him a bottle of perfume, I won’t buy red lingerie because I’ve received an email about promotions, but I crafted something ‘cute’.. though we’ll not be together on the d-day.

As for now, I’m currently enjoying a nice evening at home, reading A Song of Ice and Fire (almost done with A Clash of Kings – oh boy I’m so hooked) while listening to the brand new jazzy McCartney album, his work is so magical and brilliant …

I’d like to thank all of you for your kind comments and your support ! This week I’ve been promoted three times on HelloCotton.com. I love all of my readers!

My friend Cosima and I went to the Great Mosque of Paris a few weeks ago. It was a great afternoon, I had a blast visiting the mosque, drinking delicious tea afterwards in the salon de thé and walking in the Jardin des Plantes. There was a beautiful sun however it was quite cold.

It was also the occasion for me to take pictures …

My closest friends know that I’ve been obsessed with Liv Tyler for years now, I had a website about her (the only french one – yeah) and I even got to meet and hug her ! I’ve seen all of her films and I’ve been stalking her on the internet since 2001 (LOTR era .. aww) and was so happy when Givenchy decided to name her the new egerie of the brand.

I’ve always been amazed by her natural looks and fashion choices. Plus, her closest friends are Stella McCartney and Riccardo Tisci. That helps, right? She always felt good in her body even with a few pounds, that’s what stroke me the most at first. When I met her I was so stunned by her elegance and soft voice .. oh Liv !

I’ve a pretty huge collection of candids photos of her walking in the street in NYC and pictures from events, look at her outfits, so adorable. She wores a lot of black, however don’t we all agree that black is, in fact, so chic ?
