Valentine Date Ideas

You all know how much I love Bri Emery of Design Love Fest, right? Last week, Bri asked several of her blogger friends what their fave secret date spot was and then wrote up a mini bio on each. I just loved the idea and wanted to ask the same question of a few of my fave bloggers! Several of my sweet blogger pals from three different countries are here to share their fave date spots! Without further adieu, take it away ladies!



Here in Canada, a lot of our men spent their childhood at the rink playing hockey...perfect inspiration for impressing your guy on Valentine's Day! I think there is something so romantic about a couple lacing up and skating at night holding hands. Toronto has a bunch of outdoor rinks, but my personal fave is the Harbourfront Center, located right on the waterfront of Lake Ontario. It's so pretty, with a view of both the city and the water.  Plus as an added bonus, it's completely free! End the night curled up together with some hot chocolate!



Albertina of Mimosa Lane
Fave Date spot: Pappa's Brother's Steakhouse. I don't eat much red meat but I love having a nice piece of filet mignon here and there. My husband and I love going here for their great wine list, amazing quality meats, and scrumptious desserts. I love catching up with my husband over a delicious meal. Oh and the bread and butter are to die for.



Sonia of Daring Coco
My ultimate and most favorite spot in Melbourne is Hosier Lane: a stroll down an old world cobblestone pathway encompassed by equally old stone buildings that are adorned in phenomenal street art. It's like stepping into another world here with the vibrancy and assortment of various illustrations it's easily enchanting and very much inspiring. I can easily spend hours here just absorbing all the incredible creativity along the walls, it's also a great spot for photoshoots and best of all free for everybody to enjoy.



Alison of Heart of Gold and Luxury
My favorite date spot in Manhattan is Il Buco on Bond Street. Nothing could be more romantic than dining in their Cellar lined with oak barrels and various vintages. It is almost as if you have slipped away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan and escaped into your own private vineyard.
