How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

It's that time of year again, dreaded by singletons (and couples!). What I mean to say is, do we really need a day when we tell our other halves how much we love them? Actually, probably.

Now, this year, with the expense of a new car in the offing and a trip to Glasgow in two weeks time, we are kind of skipping the whole present-buying part of Valentine's Day. As well as the whole dinner-wine-date aspect too. Instead we are going to grab a DVD, a bottle of bubbles and a meal from Marks and Spencer and spend a night in together. Lovely.

But... a girl can still dream. So here's what I am dreaming that the boyf might yet still buy me!!

Clockwise from top left: LOVEly Smythson notelets; Alexander McQueen scarf; Anya Hindmarch case; and Lanvin notebook for scribbling fashionable thoughts.

Clockwise from top left: Yves Saint Laurent arty ring; Smythson passport cover - so that I look ultra stylish as I check in for our Glasgow trip!; Daisy Knights rings; and Sonia Rykiel Paris-inspired tee.

What are your plans for Valentine's Day? Are you expecting a special gift? Or will you "accidentally" be leaving this page open for your very generous other half to spot?!
