Romance in Paris
Whether single or in a relationship, I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day. My favorite color is pink, it reminds me my birthday is around the corner and if nothing else, chocolates and champagne will soon be on sale.

The first year I was in a relationship on February 14th, instead of a romantic dinner-a-deux I decided to spread the love and organized (and cooked) a pop-up dinner for 47 guests. It was a huge success, measured by the flurry of new relationships which started that night, in a utilitarian warehouse in East London. My boyfriend on the other hand was no help, though; he got drunk and threw little potatoes at the guests as they left.

The Duchess of Cambridge celebrated her 39th birthday yesterday (what did she get? New Kiki McDonough earrings? A Zara dress? Another Aspinal bag for her collection?), look back at the 39 style lessons which she s mastered, many of them universally useful.
1. You need to know when to let something go (no matter how much you ve loved it )
A few years ago, the Duchess was often spotted in her beloved Aquaitalia suede boots but after being well-loved they soon began to look a little tired and scuffed. Sensibly, they ve been done away with in favour of sleeker styles.
