Not long ago I shared with you my plans on spending Valentine's day with my better half. I decided it would be fun share actual date as well. Why? To show how different can be similar plans depending on the exact locations you choose. For example here not only we went to different restaurants (even though they are more or less in the same category/price range) but also different concert hall. This alone affects the date greatly but I wanted to show it. Also it is a reason to repeat without actual repeating as a date idea which is a great idea for long time partners. In you are in the relationship for over 10 years it's pretty hard to think up something completely new without traveling. Even something very simple like a mix of classical music and a cake can be very different if you approach it differently. Funny side note: as per tradition we eat the same type of cake, both times it was a Russian honey cake because we mixed Valentine's day and a cake date this month. As fashion season is starting I will have less time to spare and one of my husband's projects is approaching a stage when it will require spikes of his attention, there might not be enough of comfortable time for a cake date later this month.
I wore one of my favorite dresses of all: wrap dress by DVF, probably the most comfortable type of dresses in the whole world and definitely complementing. I added a red scarf as a belt to make it more Valentine's Day themed, red clutch as well pink/red eyeshadow and drew hearts to match the theme.I wanted to add what we ate and listened to, to make it more immersive.
I was wearing:
DVF dress
TJ collection bag (old russian brand)
Jil Sander boots
Tenezis tights
Monki coat
H&M and Faberlic (c/o) necklaces
silver earrings from Cyprus
Certina watch
I heart Revolution makeup pallete, the Balm pensil
Have a nice day,
Lyosha
So cute!
