Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and already exploding down every aisle at the corner store. It’s a day to celebrate all the love in your life – including yourself! Here is a roundup of some of my must-haves for a great valentine’s date. Don’t forget that you can always post this link to drop ‘em a hint about what you really want!
Forget the usual heart-shaped boxes! This year, get your sweets at sugarfina where you can customize an upscale bento box of the finest candies – no more dissecting many chocolate-fruit crèmes to find the one chocolate caramel you’d actually want. Make a box of all your faves for you and your sweetie! Or if you really want to go for the gold, get 24k gold champagne marshmallows!
Speaking of marshmallows…who says you can’t wear them? The delicious sweet scent of Booty Parlor’s Dust Up Kissable body shimmer in Marshmallow smells good enough to eat!
Luckily for you and your partner, it’s lickable!
Like every couple these days, I’m sure you spend too much time on your devices. Share in the fun of those YouTube clips or new tracks anywhere you go with, LoveBuds, couples’ earbuds.
You will get “his-and-her” high-quality ear buds with only one jack needed. This is a perfect gift if you travel a lot, so you can both take in a movie on the laptop!
Ok, OK! I may have been too hasty when I said to “forget the heart-shaped boxes.” We are excited for a heart box with they are filled with luxe bath goodies from Lush! This is a classic look but filled with something more special than just drugstore chocolates.
If you’ve read our “Top 5 Foxiest Lingerie Finds,” then you already have your plus size underpinnings ready for later.
I feel no Valentine’s date is complete without a classic sexy dress.
We love the Kiyonna “Bianca Dress” for a glam night out. The sexy cut out shoulder detail and ruched body is the perfect dress for a great date.
Or this ASOS one paired with boots for a casual movie date.
The fluted sleeve also means that this dusky pink dress is not only in the colour of the season, but the exaggerated sleeve is also the silhouette to have your eye on in SS17.
Is your style, really avant garde?
Check out this red, Harley Quinn homage from Torrid.
The red and black is also a classic for Valentine’s day.
You are sure to turn heads in any of these plus size dresses!
And last but not least, the accessories!
You always need a little festive bling!
We love this morganite and rose gold stunner from Lafonn. If you hadn’t noticed, rose gold has seen a massive resurgence in popularity and is perfect for those who don’t quite feel an affinity to gold or silver. This ring is perfect.
But if you are looking for something more whimsical how can you not love the childish bliss of wearing a replica “Mylar balloon” on your finger by one of our favourite designers, Kate Spade.
