Blessed with the best — that's the only way to describe having people worth dressing up for on Galentine's Day. I went full ball gown for it: teal satin, off-the-shoulder, a skirt with enough volume to actually swish when I walked, and a matching bow tucked into my hair.

I let the dress do the talking and shot it walking away near Tate Britain, skirt trailing behind me up a set of steps covered in the most colourful mosaic tiling. Some outfits are made for moving, not standing still.
