{the month : have a romantic february}

We've done it - gotten through the unmistakably most miserable month of the year, and now one more month of winter bleakness resumes before we are greeted with the promise of spring and the excitement the rest of the year has to follow...

My favourite part of February is Valentines Day, which I posted a little more about here (and expect to see quite a lot more of where that came from..).

I always feel really positive at the start of January, there have been celebrations to say farewell to 2012 and excitement that 2013 promises and of course - resolutions made. A Rachelle regular - the Lust List - made a popular return and there has been fashion inspiration aplenty...

When the January snow arrived, a guide to one of the most glamorous locations on earth, Bora Bora, was posted to remind us that the sun does still exist, and will be with us soon - but for a quick fix at-home snow comfort, we baked the easiest and most tasty Slutty Brownies here. Beauty has been celebrated in the form of the legend that is Elizabeth Taylor, and a fail safe and very quick smokey eye, and some smokey-velvet decor inspiration for good measure. Top everything off with a healthy dose of some Agent Provocateur (which was by far the most popular post of the month) and I don't think January was that bad, after all..

Have a fabulous month, rachelle xo.
