Vine Hair Salon by Sides Core in Kobe, Japan on Yatzer | Remodelista

With Valentine’s Day approaching, we’re dedicating next week to romance with our Love in the Afternoon issue. Romance through a Remodelista lens means soaking tubs for two, romantic hotels, (ungirly) pink palettes, and lighting with a softer glow. Here are snippets of what we’ve been intrigued by around the web this week, including a few DIY valentines we’re planning to make:

Gearing up for V Day, Margot is reading Love Illuminated, a new book by friend and editor of the NY Times’ Modern Love column, Dan Jones, in which he explores “life’s most mystifying subject (with the help of 50,000 strangers).”

Having finally received some rain here in arid California, Sarah is coveting this Scottish-made charcoal poncho (good for riding a bike in the rain).



Dosa Sample Sale in New York City, February 2014 | Remodelista


Above: Margot is beating a path through the snow in New York to attend this weekend’s Dosa sample sale in Soho featuring the Traveler 2013 collection, shown here, as well as past season bargain boxes. (At Remodelista’s New York Holiday Market, a woman confided that she considered canceling a trip to Paris to be at a Dosa sale.) This one is Saturday 11-5 and Sunday 11-3 at 628 Broadway, suite 302.
