What To Wear: Valentine's Day Edition

People either love Valentine's day or hate it. Either way, you'll most likely end up having to endure it one way or another. Whether you have a hot date with someone you've been crushing on for ages, are spending the night with your other half as you have been for years or you just plan on spending the night out with your single friends, the outfit dilemma always arises. When rocking the red for V-Day, I think we all agree that there is a very fine line between looking festive and cute and looking like a sriracha bottle.

You can't go wrong with these V-day finds, no matter your plans. And yes, this includes staying at home in your PJs.

Girls Night Out




Sometimes you just want to give a big middle finger to Valentine's day by going out and celebrating singledom with your gal pals, and this outfit is sure to grab attention from both males and females alike. The sheer neckline of this top adds a hint of sexiness without being over the top. Pair it with leather leggings instead of denim for a sex-kitten vibe. These platform booties are sure to get major shoe envy from your friends. For accessories, I love the look of gold ear cuffs and big cuff bracelets.

Girls Night In

The great thing about that Cami top is that it can easily work for a luxurious PJ top. Pair it with some uber-comfy black shorts and a whimsical eye mask for a Breakfast at Tiffany's-esque look. Heck, I'd wear this every night!

Hot Date Night Out

Rather than wearing the predictable red dress or top, I prefer to rock a simple LDB with a sexy pair of tights and accessorize with festive reds instead. I would keep it simple and punch it up with accessories, like a thick chain gold necklace or a chain strap purse. His eyes will be glued on you all night (so please, watch out for spinach in your teeth).

Romantic Dinner at Home



Wear something subtly sexy, yet comfortable. You aren't going out, but you should wear something a little nicer than your usual Wednesday night dinner at home garb. I'm a big fan of bodysuits these days. Pair it with an awesome pair of jeans and a low-cut blazer for the dinner, then remove said items for a sexy romp in the sheets afterwards.

With this arsenal of outfit ideas, you are bound to make the best of what V-Day has to offer. If you ask me though, the real holiday is February 15th, where all the chocolates are 75% off. See you all at Wal-mat!

A Valentine's Day in Style

Just when you were starting to recover from your Christmas holiday bills, another day of gift-giving arrives. Valentine's Day is all about showing the ones you love just how much you love them, and to have passionate sex with your lover by the fire on a bearskin rug (am I right?). I for one am happy with nothing else but a good back massage and a glass of wine... Nothing tops that on my list. But for those of you out there who need some ideas on that perfect gift that says "I love you" and "I am the best GF/BF ever", here are some great no-fail ideas.
