I just shared my Valentine’s Day gift guide with you, and in light of the romantic holiday, I’m really happy to be partnering with La Redoute for this post! The idea is to share a romantic story or moment that’s happened to you while posting a Valentine’s Day look. My outfit consists of my Zara pink coat layered over a white shirt and my Paige Jane white skinny jeans, finished off with some nude Kelya heels and my Mulberry Candy Pink Denim Lily, complete with a pink silk scarf from La Redoute, which I tied in a bow around my bag! I also had flowers since it is Valentine’s after all!
Now getting to my romantic story, there have been numerous little things that Adam has done for me over the 7 years we have been together, but one of the things that stands out to me most was a few years ago. He knew that I loved the green bears from the Haribo Starmix bags and you only ever get about 3-5 in a bag, so for Valentine’s Day one year, he gave me a black decorated box with red tissue paper inside. I wondered what was in it and as soon as I opened it, I knew! He had given me a box filled with green Haribo bears! In order to do this he had to buy a tonne of Starmix bags and bear bags just to take out the green ones so I would have a little box full. I know not many would consider this romantic as such as it’s not a holiday, flowers or something lavish, but to me it was one of the sweetest things! It’s something that I still remember to this day and I love how thoughtful he was with it.
There are of course other little things that I find romantic of him, or really sweet, like telling me I still look beautiful during a flu outbreak when in actual fact I look like a troll (truth), so that’s sweet. He will always check the menu at restaurants first to see if there’s something that I could eat there before him (due to my allergies), he goes out of his way to find me little meaningful presents that remind me of childhood memories or nice things and he just cares. I think that’s all anyone can ask for in a relationship and I am extremely lucky to be with someone as lovely as Adam. His support and love really helps my blog grow and for me to grow as a person! I know I don’t often share so much personal detail like this, but as it’s Valentine’s, I think Adam deserves it!
Now not only have I teamed up with La Redoute for this post, but My Little Box have something really cool going on too! Happening from now until the 23rd February 2015, you can share your love story and the writers of the three best stories will win an annual subscription to My Little Box – a fabulous French brand that sends out packages full of fashion, beauty and lifestyle goodies every month!

One of the sweetest things to do indeed – in every sense of the word. 😀 Curious minds do wonder what became of the rest of the Haribo contents. 😉
Those photos of you both together are great. I especially like the one at the table. You both look so delightfully happy. 🙂
Author
Thank you Steven 🙂 I believe he ate the rest with his friends over the course of months lol! And yes, we are very happy!
Oh good, I’m glad he didn’t eat them all at once… I never know when to stop if I start eating Haribo. LOL
