Much of my renewed fondness for Valentine's Day (a topic I explore more in-depth here) stems from how darn pretty the holiday is. Red and pink, hearts and calligraphy, chocolates and flowers: it's enough to bring out the girly girl in even the most steadfast tomboy. I like to linger in the seasonal candy aisle at the drugstore, feasting my eyes on the deliciously stereotypical packaging—and let's be real, those special edition M&M's taste way better than the regular ones.
I've been tickled to see how much of the V-Day goodness has made its way into my Instagram feed as people have shared moments like baking, decorating cards, and penning sweet love notes. But a few must-follow few feeds on my radar don't confine the romance to February!
