famous couples
and why I like them.
bread + butter = the filthiest lovers, nothing is off limits
chrome + primary colours = very solidly obsessed with each other but quiet about it
scrawl + a post it note = the kind of couple you wish you were part of, for only five minutes at a time
olives + toothpicks = they sit on the same side of the restaurant booth when they go out to eat (in a sweet way)
spotlights + sequins = similar in the ways you want to be similar, different in the ways you want to be different
velvet curtains + dust = inseparable, the embodiment of yearning, longing, lusting
pearls + cashmere = private until they’ve each had two glasses of nondescript wine
neon signs + rain = romantically restorative to be around, unexpectedly so
sunshine + the shade of a tree = two huge personalities beneath a collectively peaceful exterior
salt + watermelon = the couple you always invite to a dinner party, not because they’re your closest friends but because they know how to work the room
stainless steel + timber = homoerotic, very long-term, extremely stable
olive oil + balsamic vinegar = politically aligned, someone is settling but the chemistry is great
newspapers + cigarettes = they’ll tell you communication is key but they give each other the silent treatment every other day
paper coffee cups + red lipstick = boring separately but fun together, a bit performative
fresh produce + wicker basket = the couple that makes you feel grown up to be around, both equally whimsical
silver rings + chipped nail polish = effortlessly hot, neither has an inside voice but it’s quite glamorous
lemon + fish = old souls without being smug about it, just intensely self-aware
glass + condensation = personally oppositional, almost too sensible but still unpredictable
leather + lace = the same personality with different accents, very dreamy
brick walls + climbing plants = one is emotionally avoidant, the other can romanticise anything
mini skirts + oversized tops = physically disparate yet somehow photographically complementary
floral textiles + home decor = the most loyal, would die for each other
faux fur + champagne = fun at parties, a little concerning beyond, impossible to ignore
