Today I did the ‘all the dressed up and dining in’ option, in this guest post I wrote. Some days are just better unrushed.

It’s been gorgeous; lazy lounging, lashings of vintage gold, Crème Brioche, lounge illuminated by 40 flickering flames, gorging on cupcakes, shimmying into a pool of vintage 90′s satin, Jules Destrooper almond thins, copious pear cocktails, the perfect orangey-red lippie, an obscure brushed gold tone headpiece that equals love, drooling over a greyish-beige nail polish that’s an ode to Chanel’s Particuliere , a wonderfully moorish Moroccan meal that I’m still nibbling on, catching up with loved ones(Valentine’s is all about those you love right?),brunch in bed, loosing myself to Sade and Charlie Parker.

    a deliciously devine day, marian. you resemble an alluring siren…who all she has
    to do is sit back and wait…you are definitely a curator of all things that encourage the senses.
