love-birdsValentine’s Day is this Saturday. Yay? I don’t mean to get all Ebeneezer but…I’m not a big V-Day fan. If you don’t have a significant other, it can be a bummer. If you do have one, shouldn’t V-day be everyday? If you try to go out to dinner, it can be a nightmare. And the mark up on flowers is beyond ridiculous. Those are just some of my thoughts - blech. BUT. I do like the idea of having a day to celebrate love - just not necessarily the romantic kind. I’m talking about celebrating friendships, family and even your relationship with yourself. So in the spirit of that, I’ll be bringing you cute little ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day this week, on your own terms. Day One: This Love Birds bag. How adorable is the intricate cut out of the bird pattern in navy blue against the backdrop of white? This would be a perfect way to tote your laptop, a book, a magazine…you get the idea. The dark and light colors make this a bag that takes you from season to season and its sturdy build will give you years of use. It’s more than I would normally spend on a bag ($185) but it is also one of those pieces that is unique yet classic which is the mark of a good splurge. Perfect as a gift for your best friend, your mom and, yes, even for yourself.
