A Self-Love Soirée
Spoil yourself with cosy treats you deserve
Love is in the air, that’s for sure. And that includes self-love! We always take time to express kindness, generosity and commitment to those we love – celebrating their qualities, delighting in their company, buying them gifts – but how often do we focus on doing the same thing for ourselves?
While practising a little self-love is something we should get into the habit of doing all the time, Valentine’s Day is a timely reminder to spoil yourself as much as you spoil the other special people in your life. How? ISSIMO-style of course! Don’t just give yourself a moment, throw yourself an entire self-love soirée by treating yourself to an assortment of cosy ‘Made in Italy’ treasures that will indulge all our senses.
Dim the lights, press play on your favourite Mina or Andrea Bocelli playlist, and relish ISSIMO’s line-up of ultimate self-love products curated especially for the one, the only – you!
Self-love means: Style
Whether self-love means a spin on the dancefloor or a stroll to your favourite caffé for a few fresh cannoli, our lush suede Scholl x ISSIMO Clogs will have you stepping out in comfort and style. A modern interpretation of Scholl’s iconic Pescura Clog, these beauties come in a rich shade of Bordeaux, adding a touch of effortless charm to your look at any hour of the day. Style them with a pair of jeans and a crisp shirt for day, or with a little black dress and blazer for your aperitivo at dusk, and see why self-love means owning the freedom to express your style, from head to toe.
Self-love means: Savour
It’s not self-love without a midnight snack, is it? Chocolate, what else! A little melt-in-the-mouth decadence by the artisanal masters at Angiolini Cioccolato seems to fix everything – fatigue, winter blues, broken hearts, you name it! This special Angiolini Il Pellicano Chocolate variety is a rich 80% cocoa blend with an aromatic note of earthy rosemary that fills the air at our Monte Argentario haven. Created with Hotel Il Pellicano Chef Michelino Gioia, this is one self-love snack you need on hand at all times, especially for those moments when you can savour its flavour, piece by piece.
Self-love means: Scent
Nothing says ‘Me Time’ quite like a scented candle. But not just any scented candle, a LabSolue Cipriolo scented candle that soothes the soul with wafts of flowers, fruits and woods from the grounds of La Posta Vecchia. A must for your cosy self-love soirée, this candle brings ambience to any space, especially right next to the bathtub. Its hypnotic scent reminds you to breathe in the serenity of your well-deserved moments of peace.
Self-love: Sleep
They say the ultimate self-love routine includes at least nine hours of sleep per night…If that isn’t quite the case for you, hitting the pillow in our cosy cotton pyjamas designed in collaboration with Schostal is the next best thing! Available in a feel-good palette of colour combinations including Turquoise & Orange, Pink & Bordeaux and Orange & Turquoise, these pyjamas are sure to put you in a good mood as you drift off into dreamland.
Self-love: Snuggle
At the end of a long work day, there’s no act of self-love that is more important than snuggling up on the couch with a Cashmere blanket, and our friend Pelli. True, everyone’s favourite bird seems to be the ultimate cosy companion, especially on our new ISSIMO cashmere blanket. This blanket will accompany you from the lounge room couch to bed (and back again), taking ‘cosy’ to a whole new level. Valentines come and go, but Pelli will be with you all year round!
Of course, self-love comes from within, and you don’t need a special occasion like Valentine’s Day to practise it (although a gentle reminder never hurts!). Nor do you need a reason to treat yourself to some handmade artisanal treasures. From Belissimo home-decor, to Chicissimo accessories, why not give yourself the gift you truly deserve? In fact, our self-love soirée has only just started…there’s plenty more ‘Made in Italy’ treasures waiting to be discovered on ISSIMO.
