The Anti Valentines edition

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman
‘Howie’ pyjama set, Desmond & Dempsey exclusively for Fortnum & Mason

I’m not really a Valentines round-up kind of person. And you’ll certainly not see any red lace underwear here.  Instead, I thought I’d talk about a gift I always love to receive: pyjamas. Could there be a better gift…? I never like to spend the money myself but a chic set feels like such a luxury. And my husband is far more likely to catch me in my flat all buttoned up in some comfy pjs than a lace teddy. That’s just life (or me).

I’ve also been thinking about a lovely soft kimono for Spring, Koro Kimono have a dreamy brushed cotton grey one I can see myself wafting around in come spring. Plus with all this pyjama dressing and underwear as outerwear trends – pyjamas are an essential purchase, right?

1. Cotton pyjama shirt, £45, Mish London

2. Cotton trousers, £35, Mish London

3. Sheepskin slippers, £75, Ugg Australia

4. Cotton pyjamas, £39, Yawn

5. Base chakra candle, £29, Daisy

6. Cotton pyjamas with lurex stripe, £14.40, BHS

7. Cotton pyjamas, £69, Toast

8. Cotton pyjama set, £98, J Crew (but size XL in petite is £49!)

9. Seersucker shorts, £38, Bodas


10. Seersucker pyjama shirt, £60, Bodas

11. Porcelain mug, £4.99, H&M

12. Viscose pyjamas, £24.99, H&M

13. Cotton night shirt and trousers, £44, Topshop (can be bought separately, too)

14. Cotton pyjamas, £14.99, H&M

15. Silk monogrammed eyemask, £25, Yolke

Also, as a sidenote, these John Lewis pjs were in my original edit but didn’t fit in my grid (#BloggerProblems) but they have since been vouched for by an instagram follower as just like the J Crew ones, so here you go:

Chambray pyjamas, £35, John Lewis

And for the cool girl on Valentines? Bella freud has just launched her classic ‘Loving’ candle in 4 mini votives…they’ll last longer than roses.

    Oh those are pretty – need to buy new PJs, realised I've not had any since my no2 was born and they are looking a little 'old' (and the wrong size)

      it's such a treat, and always feels a bit indulgent as no one really sees them, but a good pair of pyjamas makes you feel so chic! x

    OMG I feel the same way about pjs! I grew up in a family who put pJs on as soon as we got home, so that's what I do still, all grown up. Nothing like slipping into a brand new set of super soft pjs. They aren't always the most fashionable, but Target's Gilligan & O'Malley line as well as the GAP's flannel and summer lightweight ones are the best!! Nice post!

      Totally agree! Sometimes my husband can't quite believe how quickly I slip them on!
