Ruby ruby ruby ruby!

While in the past our Valentine’s day was spent enjoying delectable French cuisine et le vin under flattering, flickering candlelight, these days (i.e. post-kiddies) it has become an accidental tradition to get the kids to bed on time, get chinese take-away (all the naughty yummy dishes we normally try to resist) and sit on the couch watching a movie.

So to get in the spirit of V-day, I am sharing a bunch of my favourite red and pink products-n-pics to get you in the mood, whether you celebrate valentines day or just want a spicy boost to life. Ruby, crimson, cherry, blood, fire engine, imperial, evil-queen apple, fuchsia, magenta, rust, salmon and all the Pantones in between, whatever your shade of choice, hopefully there is something here to tickle your fancy.

And just in case you need a little something different for the chocoholic and/or nerd in your life, I found this cute card on etsy (I know its not at all red, but its perfect for a geeky V-day).

As usual, everything here is just plucked from my massive personal wish-list. I hope you get a little love and colour of your own for V-day next week. Have a great one!

PS. You may have noticed I have a bit of Abigail Ahern and Greg Natale on the brain after Wednesday’s (hang-on, was that only yesterday!) seminars at Decoration + Design in Sydney. Will do a full wrap up soon… once I can put Abigail’s book down.
