Roses Are Red

A sequin covered lobster, just for you

Thank you to Venus et Fleur for sponsoring today’s letter.

I’m not one to pass up an opportunity to share a little gift guide…Valentine’s Day, this one’s for you.

For the home:

Heart plate collection / heron wallpaper / 3-piece bud vase set / brass round box / envelope & notecard set / sequin lobster / 512 tray in oyster / Aphrodite porcelain vase / French tea towel / hare pitcher / jewelry trunk in royal red

If you’re not in a space to commit to wallpapering an entire room, this paper would still make an impact, framed and hung on the wall.

The porcelain collection from Venus et Fleur is reminiscent of classic Roman architecture. The arrangements add an elegant touch and statuesque presence; a thoughtful and long-lasting way to say I love you.

Venus et Fleur eternity roses keeping our powder room company, this curved option is also really pretty

Perhaps the best gift of all: anything from Arielle Ratner’s Nebula collection. Worn with this cashmere cardigan

Pocket-sized luxuries:

Vintage engraved cufflinks / croc wallet / coupole hair clip / leather cardholder / nebula cuff / tuileries velvet heart / leather watch roll / pompom key ring / carnelian padlock charm, to be worn on a chain like this / universum pinky ring / wood and silver plated box / personalization clips / rose wine stopper

I’ve gotten more than a few requests for unbranded mens wallets, and agreed it’s hard to find a good one! This one looks nice and the cacao color feels more elevated than a standard black leather. Last week I shared this in the same leather, which also makes for a great gift. More pocket-sized gifts: cuff-like earbuds, paired with the wireless charging case, a passport holder, or a mini brush.

Give the gift of beauty:

Olive lip butter balm / illuminating eye mask / N°1 de massage accessory / Theraplush “hold” / petite brush collection, to live in this brass cup / baby cheeks in mimi / massage duo / tortoise toothbrush / sweet lips scrub

A good beauty product is always appreciated, especially if it’s something the recipient wouldn’t buy for themselves. If someone got me a restock of this, I’d love them forever. Also worth mentioning, this shade of baby cheeks. It’s been my every day blush for years, and a WestmanAtelier.com exclusive.

For staying at home:

Panther pajamas, this zebra pair is also fun. I would wear the bottom half of the set on a warm weather vacation. First for dinner at the hotel with a little tank, and then again on the flight home with a t-shirt.

Olivia Von Halle also has great things for brides, like this camisole set or this Jessica McCormack version.

Vintage Christian Dior camisole / Bergdorf Goodman nightgown / organic cotton panty / 1980’s Christian Dior / lace trim knit tank / bare bra in powder / Snow White robe / wool slippers / organic cotton nightgown

Because the slippers I shared here were such a hit, I’ve been on the hunt for an equally impressive pair to share with you and I think I found them. If you’re looking for a gift for a man in your life, order these and call it a day.

Xxx!
