[Love Inspired}Weekend Wishes

February5

Hello There!!! Thank you for spending another week with me. Currently I’m prepping to be snowed in. Can you say magazine run? Anyhoo…

With Valentine’s Day being about a week awayI thought today I would share My Love List. Plus, I love any excuse to be absorbed by thoughts of love.

VDay

1. How cute is this ruffled romper from Anthropologie?  I think every girl is entitled to something frilly and fun to frolic in, Valentine’s Day or not. With its aubergine hue, this pick would be my choice.

2. The  Orignal Stella McCartney fragance had me at hello. It helps that I get complimented everytime I wear it. She makes lovely scents with the added bonus that they are made from organic ingredients.  Stellanude takes her signature amber infused , citrus-cut  rose and puts an intimate spin on it , as  she softens it with a touch of vanilla and musk.

3.  Oh, where to begin with Pablo Neruda?   At my core I’m a romantic at heart, and the right words always make me swoon (coming from the right person that is).  Neruda is the right person and in his book , Love Poems, my friends, after read a few lines you, too will swoon.  And the cover is absolutely GORGEOUS!

4. Valentine’s Day is about expresseions of love. This year, whether you receive jewels (from yourself or a significant other) or love letters from a long distance love, you will need somewhere to store those cherished items. That place should be something equally as beautiful. I think these West Elm Medallion Jewelry Boxes are the perfect place.

5. Speaking of Love Letters, this print, entitled Sunday Morning, by Gabrielle Kai Photography is just beautiful.  The composition is stunning and quite honestly this photo would have me daydreaming all day.  How lovely would it be to receive this photograph Valentine’s Day? To me, that would be a just perfect.

6. Of course as a tea lover, I had to include Love, Love Tea. Why not share a cup of tea with someone you love?  Not only does this rose-infused blend  come with a secret love note but it also comes with its own philosophy. My favorit line: Be kind with yourself. For without being generous to ourselves we can’t be generous with our love for others. I couldn’t have said it better.

I hope this get list gets you in the mood for Valentine’s Day. For me it’s a holiday about the loves of my life, which whether I’m single or not, always includes the most lovely  and amazing host of friends and family a girl could ever dream of having.

Happy Weekend!!!

xoxo, Jessica

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. -Rumi

I’m Jessica and that quote by Rumi are the words by which I live.

With a BA in Art History and a MA in Interior Design, I am armed to create beautiful spaces where ever I go and I am always researching, learning and doing in pursuit of my creative endeavors. Because I needed a place  where my design ideas,  discoveries, creative whims and inspirations could call home, Design Wonderland was born. Here, in my wonderland, I curate an eclectic mix of all wonderful things that inspire me on a daily basis. Though my first loves have always been art, fashion and design, I am also inspired by my insatiable appetite for good food, good friends, new places, beautiful poetry and lots of tea. My hope is that through sharing my thoughts, you will be inspired to create something beautiful too.

Beauty is all around,

Jessica
