Hello my little Vintage Darlings ♡
February is the month of sweetness and romance. The time of year where the atmosphere is filled with the magic of pure love and a gentle feeling. Delightful blush pink heart decor and romantic roses are beautifully placed and make everything look like an enchanting fairytale. It could only mean one thing, Valentine’s Day is approaching quickly.
The time of year when all of the romantics celebrate the love in their lives. Though some may not love this time of year as much, especially if they find themselves without a love to celebrate with. However I believe romantic love isn’t the only love that must be celebrated during this wonderful season. Valentine’s Day can also be all about celebrating the beautiful person that is you; this delightful holiday can include self-love as well.
Today’s lovely post is going to focus on just that and show all of you Darlings out there how to have a dreamy and girly Valentine’s Day treating yourself like the princess you deserve to be!
♡ ♡ ♡
Start off your enchanting Valentine’s Day by picking out a lavish outfit that makes you feel the most like a princess and makes you feel like you’re shining from the inside out. For such a romantic holiday, I personally suggest a romantic dress or ethereal tulle skirt in an adorable blush pink. You’ll feel incredibly girly and sweet! Take the time to do some pirouettes in the gorgeous outfit you chose and just let your true self show.
Treat yourself to an amazing breakfast, nothing says self love and care like nourishing your body with delicious foods. Whether you’re someone who prefers fluffy, heart shaped pancakes or yummy fruit bowl, prepare your favorite and enjoy it. For a little extra girlyness, use blush pink or floral china to have your breakfast off of!
As the afternoon draws near, do something that you absolutely love! This could be anything from dancing by yourself, reading your favorite fairytale, or even painting; the possibilities are endless. However my personal favorite thing to do, especially when having a girly Valentine’s Day, is to bake adorable pastel cupcakes. There’s just something so calming and happy about baking sweet treats, particularly on a holiday. With so many charming recipes out there, it’s hard to choose which heart themed cupcakes to make, but go with the ones that make you feel the happiest. If you little Loves need an idea for recipes, these two lovely bloggers always post sweet, girly recipes and even some Valentine’s Day ones: Frosting Fairy and Lissy’s Baked Treats
When you’re through with your baking, wind down with a steamy cup of delicious tea. Let the warmth from the cup soothe your senses and feel at peace. You may choose to listen to your favorite romantic songs while doing this or watch a favorite show.
Once all of the tea is gone and you feel at ease, light your favorite rose scented candle and run a warm bubble bath fit for a princess. Use a comforting scent like lavender or vanilla and toss in a pretty rose colored bath bomb. Slip into the warm water and let the delicate bubbles take over as you relax; feeling any stress wash away.
After the calming bath, slip into your girliest pajamas, pick up your favorite face mask, and rejuvenate your gentle skin. With your mask on, reach for a dreamy nail polish and treat yourself to a mani/pedi. Finish off with a lovely moisturizer to leave your beautiful skin feeling soft, hydrated, and most importantly, cared for.
Slip into your darling princess bed, turn on your absolute favorite Disney movie, and slowly drift off to your own personal dream land.

I truly hope this post has made you Darlings see Valentine’s Day in a different light and gave you enchanting ideas for how to spend it.
Always remember that each and every one of you are beautiful princesses and you deserve self love and happiness! ♡

Always one to try out new enchanting scents, last month I fell in love with two; 24K Blush and Pink Gold. Both being inexpensive and from PINK, these are dreamy, warm scents that are like wrapping a fluffy blanket around you in the middle of winter. They’re just so light and delicate, the perfect kind of scents for the colder months. Packaged in beautiful rose gold and pink bottles, they’ve made my vanity area look even more princessy. If you have the chance to try one of these, I truly recommend them!
The next magical product I favored this month had me feeling like a dainty fairy all month long. With a delightful pink color that looks as if it’s delicious pink frosting, Lush’s Snow Fairy had my heart in January. Not only did it make my delicate skin feel buttery smooth, but it left behind the faint scent of sweet spun sugar that lasted for hours after my shower.
Moving on from beauty, I just have to share my absolute favorite candle of the month. With a gorgeous mint green color, Bath & Body Work’s White Mint Latte won me over. Not only did the beautiful packaging fit in with my decor, the smell was delightfully dreamy. Smelling just like a warm freshly made peppermint mocha wafting all throughout the room, this candle is the most perfect one for the winter months. I’m truly going to be sad when I completely burn through this candle.
Not all of my favorite fashion items have been clothing, this next piece that captivated me last month is this lavish, fluffy scarf. With an amazingly soft faux fur, this blush pink scarf has kept me incredibly warm all month long. Not only is it warm, but it made me feel like a fancy snow bunny!
The first thing I got was this delicate little velvet set. I’ve been in love with velvet for so long, so I was extremely happy when PINK got in on this trend. When I saw this set I just knew I had to have it. It’s so soft, light, and has a dainty floral print that’s perfect for the spring. The best part is I got both pieces for only $10.95!
These lovely pieces were in the sleep separates section. Originally I saw the shorts first and loved how delicate they looked. There’s blush pink hearts all over the white shorts and the material is so light and airy! When I was searching for a top to match these, I came across the ribbed sleep Henley and saw the absolute most gorgeous color for spring! It’s called Harbor Grey and it’s the prettiest dusty pastel green shade. It just reminds me so much of spring and makes me want to buy everything they have in this color. Another reason I really like the Henley’s is because of the dainty lace detailing around the neck of the top. It’s adds just the tiniest touch of girlyness!
The next two pieces I bought are also sleep separates, but from the PINK side. They’re new items for spring and they’re so soft! I just had to have this pastel tie dye sleep crew, it just looked so pretty; the color of it is even more gorgeous and pastel in person. To match I got these cute, little mint green shorts and the color on these is simply adorable!
The first thing I’m doing on this beautiful winter morning is taking care of my skin. The chilly winter wind can be harsh on skin, so to help it I like to gently exfoliate my face whenever I need it. I then follow up with my new favorite face cleanser, Lancôme’s Crème-Mousse Confort Comforting Cleansing Creamy-Foam with Rose Extract. It’s gentle on delicate skin and smells like romantic roses in the spring. It’s the perfect thing to add to any princess’s morning routine!
Reaching for my tulle Victoria’s Secret champagne and rose gold robe, I put it on and feel even more princess like. The robe is so light and airy, it just makes me feel so fancy. The sleeves are ruffled out and there’s rose gold stars sprinkled all over it. It’s such a whimsical design.
While the tea cools, I take out my matching Rose Confetti teacup and saucer; the dainty floral print of this collection makes me feel like a princess at tea time. Pouring myself a steaming cup of tea, I take a seat on the couch in my makeup room, resting against the rosy pillows. With a fluffy blush pink blanket gingerly wrapped around my shoulders, I prepare to have a princessy movie marathon with movies like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Roman Holiday, Marie Antoinette, and of course one of my all time favorites, The Aristocats. 
As the end of the day draws near and the stars are starting to sprinkle across the night sky, I welcome the night with a fancy bath.
