Post-Valentine’s round-up of stuff I’ve been loving

Single or taken, I’ve never been much of a fan of Valentine’s Day. But what I am a fan of is the day after — when all the high-end chocolate goes on sale! Aww yeah. Now that’s a yearly event worth getting excited about.

Here, as an ode to the true holiday this week — a round-up of the people, places, and things I’ve been totally loving recently… with links to my swooning past posts. Happy holiday!
