Happy Valentines Day!

Wishing all of hôtel de mode's followers & visitors a very happy Valentines Day! I hope you all have a wonderful day with the people you love whether its that special someone or an amazing friend. Maybe Valentines Day has become very commercial, however I still think it's a fabulous opportunity to be thankful for those people who are also there to show you love and kindness.

Lots of love,

Mademoiselle Stefani

Opening scene from my favourite romantic comedy

Perhaps Disney has given me unrealistic expectations about love....

If only I could find a straight guy that loves reading Vogue as much as me....

Random Inspiration of the Moment

Words about love

Le Love

Sad, beautiful and probably true all in one.

Flowers

WeHeartIt

Spring has me obsessed with flowers - especially roses & orchids. I want to put them everywhere.

Kaftans, Turban Headbands & Wedge Boots
Frassy
This look completely sums up what I'm into style-wise at the moment. I think it's the perfect look for spring. Check out Frassy's blog. Her style is the perfect combination of on-trend mixed with vintage to create stylish, yet unique looks.

The Script - For the First Time

I am obsessed with with song at the moment. I've played it over and over again for days now.

This pic of Anna Brewster
Studded Hearts
She looks so cool and I love the colour of her slightly wavy hair. And that coat!

The Future
Bella 185
I feel like time is moving so fast. It's scary but exciting the same time.

It's time to go start my day!
Busy day ahead - cleaning, studying and dinner with the girls tonight :)

L.O.V.E.

Letters to Juliet:

I watched Letters to Juliet last Friday with my best friend and enjoyed it immensely. Yes it was incredibly unrealistic, and unfortunately such romantic notions about love simply do not exist in the real world, but it was a great feel-good movie. It was particularly entertaining to watch Chris Egan speak in his slightly unconvincing British accent.  I had a massive crush on Chris Egan when I was about 14 years old when he was on Home & Away - posters, autographs and watched the show religiously. Even a fansite. Sad, sad person I was! I'll blame it on being a teenage girl. The movie made me want to run away to the city of the Verona, visit the italian countryside and consume copious amounts of wine and cheese.

I've never considered myself the romantic type but I love a good romantic comedy every once in a while.  I've always believed that you don't need someone else to make you happy. Although, every once in a while I find myself on Le Love which is an absolutely fantastic blog - it's listed in my favourite blogs.

Here are a collection on love photos and images I've collected over the last couple of years:

Love love love this one!
