    I’m just gonna put it out there. I’m brave. I’m brave for wearing this (stunner of a) dress in what felt like minus fifty million degrees. But all in the name of love! Yes, I’m talking about VDAY! That annual, yearly day of the year that gets everyone in to that “marmite” type of conversation. You either love it or you hate it. Some feel it’s one big marketing ploy (which I think research shows it was!) or you get involved and enjoy this little love fest of day. Hey, it gives me the chance to wear this LRD (that’s short for Little Red Dress FYI) for the occasion.

  • V DAY | QueenBeady

    HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! HAPY SINGLETON AWARENESS DAY! Or whatever you bleeding well like to call it day!

    I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of Valentines Day as I have got older (partly as the other half tends be unromantic at the best of times!) but I do love to see everyone enjoy the spirit whether they loved up or a singleton.

    I remember on the morning of V DAY every year my lovely mother would tell my sister & I there was a card for us both and it would always have a big resounding “?” on it. Over the years I became privy to her ways & gathered it was her but it was always an exciting morning for us. Even my little sister still gets a cheeky card & present (this year it was no less than Pug with a Heart pillow – JEALOUS!) I think I might need to move back home to get all these quirks as the husband to be still forgets!

    So my top tips for Valentines Day as are as follows:-
    •Even if you hate the day itself try not to ruin the fun for others (you end up looking like a Scrooge & a bitter one at that!)
    •If you are a singleton appreciate your friends & family around you. Get yourself a pamper kit & have a fab night in without the expense of a boozy night on the tiles or cook your parents a home made meal & show them your appreciation!
    •Get yourself a bottle of prosecco & get merry with your other half. Valentines day is not just about being mushy gushy, it’s also about the “early night” – who needs a swanky restaurant for a good night?

    So go on ladies & gentleman, enjoy this overly charged, marketing plot but put your own spin on it. Make it work for you & not just the big companies raking it in!

    Enjoy my lovelies.
