Let’s be real, we’ve probably all celebrated Valentines and Galentines at least once in our lives. Last year I was firmly in the Galentines camp, purchasing some “Not Your Baby” pyjamas that I’d wear around the house on nights in, not giving a fuck about what the boyfriends of the house thought. I didn’t want to see or hear anything about the holiday of love, being just at the stage of the breakup where you don’t want to know or care that romance still exists. This year, however, I’m a bit more chilled with Valentines. Although my boyfriend and I aren’t celebrating it, I’ve made my peace with the overtly-commercial celebration of heteronormative love. I’ve already bought myself some new underwear to mark the occasion (which you can see in my new video, ooh saucy) so now I’m ready to live out the day with the mentality that it’s just a marker that spring is only fourteen short days away.
So in light of my new attitude, whether you’ll be celebrating, or like me last year, trying to find the best “fuck you” outfit you can, I have all the fierce valentines outfits and all of the galentines pyjamas and lingerie you need. Whichever camp you fall under, I firmly believe it is well worth celebrating your love of yourself, so join me in wearing your favourite pair of sexy pants and having a good day regardless of the romantic subtext.
Hi Lucy !! I didn’t get the part you say “that it’s just a marker that spring is only fourteen short days away.” Since this season change on the 21th of march !!
Some countries officially change seasons on the first of the month every 3 months so they are the same every year (as opposed to going by the solstice/equinox)
I am definitely not celebrating Valentine’s Day but this post was lovely anyway! Thanks for the inspiration Lucy!
Would’ve loved to see this as an outfit/styling video!
You might be in luck… check my channel at 6pm!
Lots of topics where Lucy’s advice is top class, reliable changes of season possibly not one of them…
I’m not going to celebrate valentines day, but I might do something on my own and treat myself??? This was a lovely post xx

Personally, I celebrate Halentines – a version of Valentines Day focused entirely on Hal from Malcolm in the Middle.

This is the first time I’ve cheeked your blog out,I love it.I love the font you’ve chosen and the color selection is gorgeous. Everything about it is so inviting.
I’m really trying to have a kick-ass romantic V-Day this year, rather than the chill ones me and my boyfriend normally do! Maybe some cute underwear is the perfect way to get me in the mood for it! Thank you! X
Hey 🙂 I love this post and the Youtube video!
I am quite new to blogging and want to do fashion posts in the future. And I love the image reels with links to the item. But I don’t really understand whether you are allowed to use the images from the websites as thumbnails for the links. Does anyone know? Have you asked the companies specifically or does it fall under fair use?
Thanks in advance,
xx
