Romance.....after all of these years, I still love it. The gesture doesn't have to be overtly sexy or grandiose to be romantic, in my opinion. It's the small things, a spontaneous dance to a good song playing in the background, a hand held under a dining table, kisses on the forehead, and a bath being poured. Of course, Paris and diamonds are always a good idea, too. With Valentine's Day upon us, I thought a little romance was in order. Here are some romantic links that I know you will love.
Are you a hopeless romantic at heart? If you want to dress the part, Neiman's has a wonderful edit filled with head to toe ruffles, flounces, and bows.

Silk is sensual but cotton is comfy. I bet many of us girls would rather a Marigot Collection Night Shirt than something slinky. These are pretty perfect.

When was the last time you hand wrote a note to your significant other? I find that to be romantic. Mr. Shop This does this periodically. I must admit more often than I do. Let's try this for Valentine's Day. And if there isn't a special someone in your life at this moment, write a love note to yourself. After all, if you don't love you, how can you expect others to?
XOXO
