i always look forward to valentine's day, for the heaps of pink frosting (see also: epicurious) and the opportunity to make foolish valentines. these are usually sent secretly to vague acquaintances or platonic infatuations. (enlist a friend, cozy up, and give it a try. it will elicit a lot of delighted giggles on february 14.) this year, i'm hoping i can unearth relic prom photos (think beehives, yards of taffeta, horn-rimmed glasses, and powder blue tuxedos) to use. i'll keep my eyes peeled in brooklyn this weekend. so many vintage shops have nooks filled with mysterious old pictures.
