On the hunt for the perfect Valentine’s Day piece? Whether solo or attached, this is the time to sport something sultry, colorful and a bit flirty. Surprise your better half with a romantic affair to remember, or step out in the town with your girls for a ‘Galentine’s Day’ soiree.
If you are more of the mellow type, just stay home, light a delicious candle and crawl up with a book, glossy or even Pinterest (which is my activity of choice, not sugar coating this one) but always make your place a magical sanctuary ready for love.
Below are some of my Valentine’s Day picks that are sure going to add some sugar, spice and everything nice into your weekend.
1. & 2. Hanky Panky Low Rise Thong & Peekaboo Open Seam Lace Bralette: Sexy lingerie is a MUST for any woman. What’s best? No one has to know how you rock a little thong or your color of choice for undergarments. If you have a man to impress, this playful little set will sure up the ante in the bedroom.
3. NARS lipstick in ‘Jungle Red’: NARS is always my go-to brand for a special ‘treat yourself’ gift, because they have an incredible selection of colors and even cheekier names. This will have you puckering up in no time!
4. Kate Spade ‘Learn the Ropes’ bracelet: A fun little piece to add to your Valentine’s Day look. It’s also a reminder that Spring is soon approaching!
5. Jo Malone Vanilla & Anise cologne: Jo Malone knows a thing (or two) about sexy scents and a spritz of vanilla pretty much does the trick for conquering any man. Yup, this potion is beyond magical.
6. Moet Chandon Champagne Rosé: Bubbly sets the mood, spices up the tone and simply helps create a magical atmosphere. There is nothing wrong with a little pop, fizz, clink and even add some berries to the mix!
7. ‘Fill me with Love Jar’ Valentine card: Start this week by sending or leaving sweet notes for your Valentine. Nothing touches the heart more than a hand-written note. Rifle Paper Co., Sugar Paper and even Target have a fantastic selection of stationary.
8. Diptyque Rosa Mundi scented candle: Another favorite, this limited edition candle from Diptyque is a combination of fresh flowers that will have any space feeling like a spring garden. If you are looking to indulge and candles are your thing, ‘Baies‘ and ‘Roses’ are some of the best scents out there. They also come in clever travel sizes, so they are perfect to bring on any relaxing getaway.
9. WILDFOX ‘Let’s Sleep In’ eye mask: Make your evening routine a little bit spicier with this fun mask. If you are simply craving some zzzz’s, it will have you dosing off in no time.
10. ‘Love Poems’ by Pablo Neruda: When it comes to love, this Nobel Laureate has a way with words. This Chilean poet who later on became a diplomat for his native Chile, stole my heart with this little pink book. What makes it even more beautiful is that each poem is in english and Pablo’s native Spanish, making it even far more romantic! I even have a copy of it, as seen on my Apartment Therapy house tour.
11. Charlotte Olympia ‘Be Mine’ Clutch: I’ve been jonesing this clutch for quite some time, as it’s the perfect piece to add to any sexy sartorialism. I mean, this is the type of arm candy that truly steals the style scene.
12. Sophia Webster ‘Nicole’ Leather and Printed Canvas Sandals: Such a fun sandal that’s playful, sexy and full of texture. Add a red pedicure to these bad boys and you are guaranteed to get into some trouble (of the good kind, that is!)
13. Bow & Arrow 14K Gold Ring: This minimalist bauble is simply irresistible. Perfect for everyday and it pretty much works all year.
14. Sur La Table Valentine’s Day Mug: Enjoy a cup of joe or tea and reminisce all of the romantic happenings in bed with this sweet, colorful mug. Who knows, this might even have you ready for round two…
15. Stephanie Kantis 24K ‘Godess’ Hammered Cuff: This piece of jewelry is though provoking, commands attention and got its inspiration from European queens and kings of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Need I say more? I mean, it’s a must for any fashionista who craves adventure and is fearless. Boom.
16. Burberry Prorsum Trench Coat: Nothing screams classic style more than a trench coat oh yeah, and it epitomizes sex appeal. I mean simply wear this some lingerie and heels and your wishes will be your man’s commands in no time. OK, so I know that’s not too much of a PG-13 version, but this wardrobe staple has longevity all over it and will come in handy come those April showers.
What are some of your favorite Valentine’s Day traditions? Do share, do tell as I’d love to know and even share some of your tales of endearment.
