It’s on for Valentine’s Day!

by

What to get, what to give? Yeah, it can be complicated — here are our tops picks, from the semi-obvious tot he obscure, but perfect for the occasion! Even if you don’t have a Valentine as of yet, we think all of these items also make ‘I deserve it’  gifts for yourself.

Here’s some tips:

4EA15GMCRY-MMimi by Sorrelli Earrings, $35.20

We’re kind of obsessed with the new little sister line Mimi by Sorrelli, and thought these earrings were the perfect foil to traditional diamond earrings; they are incredibly chic and the price point is just right!

V290553_RCAT7The Lacie, from Victoria’s Secret, 3 for $30

An amazing deal right now, get The Lacie brief, thong, or hiphugger at this price (usually $30); if you like Hanky Panky, you’ll LOVE The Lacie!

9562nauNautica Windowpane Velour Robe from BareNecessities.com,$20.99 (was $85)

Yet another unbelievable price; I think that most guys could use a robe (instead of walking around in their underwear).

Hunter Boots: Original Lace Short Boot, $125

We’re digging this silhouette for Hunter, and the color is definitely perfect to make it a V-Day Gift!

The Natural, Satin Nipple Covers or Sexy Plunge Bra

So you’ve got a hot date; why not wear something that’s been living in your closet for quite some time, silently begging you to ‘take the plunge’?


Picture 2Oral B Pulsonic Toothbrush, $59.99 (was $75)

Seems random, but take care of you and your loved one’s hygiene for V-Day! This brush features a 2-minute timer setting, two modes to clean, and a precision tip brush. By an extra brush head for your significant other and share!

Sandalwood Fig Collection, Bath & Body Works, $9.50-$19.50

The latest fragrance (we are in love with this scent, by the way), that in our opinion, is completely unisex! Indulge in a candle, massage oil, or the body wash & foam bath.

Robert Verdi Brings Serious Style to Valentine’s Day

Holidays with expectations are always difficult. Take Christmas for example.  Birthdays, New Years — they all get grouped into the ‘what should I get so and so, what should I wear, what are the plans, who’s driving’ etc. Sorry to say it, but the approaching Valentine’s Day is also one of those days chock full of expectations, regardless if you are single, or have a significant other. Valentine’s Day is tricky, because it is a sensitive celebration; it’s supposed to be so personal, which goes hand-in-hand with being thoughtful and to a certain extent, creative. This, I must admit that I enjoyed sitting back and letting Robert Verdi and the Accessories Council do the work for me! At his most recent ‘Tweet This’ event, Robert gave somme thoughtful date ideas and suggestions, while providing his product picks to boot. Some of my favorite Robert Verdi date suggestions were:

swarovski

  • $50 date idea (although I think this could definitely be way cheaper): Classic Date – dinner from the local pizzeria and the current chick flick. (Fashion Pulse Daily’s thoughts: this works for those of use dateless on February 14th too!)
  • Place a single piece of chocolate in all of her usual places in the morning of Valentine’s to make her ordinary moments special – by her jewelry on the dresser, inside the medicine cabinet, and next to her coffee cup in the kitchen (FPD’s thoughts: I think this could work with other things than chocolate; a simple note that says ‘I love you’ will also suffice!)
  • Invite your date over for a pre-dinner drink but instead of going out, surprise them with their favorite meal by candle-light in an unusual part of your home – coffee table, terrace, or even the bedroom (FPD thoughts: candle lit dinners will never by overrated in our book, plus what a fun idea to eat in an ‘abnormal place’; just make sure you have a tray to bus the dishes and leftovers out of there)

Some of Robert’s gift suggestions included: watches for him and her, Rebecca Cole Grows blooms (very cool, see pic), Godiva chocolate, Swarovski Crystallized Charm Bracelet (FPD will be giving one away!), a Cole Haan patent leather jewelry case, and my personal favorite, Diane von Furstenberg cat eye sunglasses.

With these accessories and Robert’s tips, you’re sure to definitely set the bar high, but after all, who really needs expectations anyways?

My Funny Valentine: Goofy Gifts

by

ringmugrngmug2-1

If you’re hoping this Valentine’s Day will give you something to look at on your ring finger, but aren’t sure your significant other is completely aware of this, say it with this 2-Carat Cup, $18 at FredFlare.com. The Swarovski crystal ring comes in gold or silver, and will serve as a constant reminder of what you may have your heart set on for this February 14th.  Add about $5 for s&h.
