Whether you’re celebrating with your significant other or embracing self-love, we’ve got your ultimate guide to make this February 14th the most fabulous one yet. From what to wear to where to go, we’ve got you covered in the style, love, and charm departments.

1. Gifts that Speak Volumes: Thoughtful Tokens of Affection

Show your love with a thoughtful and personalized gift, or something that you know that they will love. Consider a custom piece of jewelry, a handwritten love letter, or a photo book capturing your favorite moments together. If you’re feeling extra creative, plan a surprise experience, like a hot air balloon ride or a weekend getaway. If you have no clue where to start, I curated Valentine’s Day gift guides that will make you the best gift giver.

2. Dress to Impress: Flirty and Fabulous Fashion

This Valentine’s Day, let your outfit do the talking. Whether you are having a girls night in or going to a romantic dinner, I’ve curated the perfect outfit ideas for you for any celebration. Maybe pair your look with statement earrings (bonus points if they are hearts) and your favorite heels for a look that’s as stunning as it is sophisticated. Don’t forget the power of accessories – a stylish jacket, bag, etc can elevate your outfit to the next level, especially if it is pink or red!

3. Where to Go: Dreamy Destinations

Create unforgettable memories by choosing the perfect setting for your Valentine’s Day celebration. If you’re looking for a cozy and intimate atmosphere, book a table at that charming bistro downtown. For a touch of glamour, consider a rooftop restaurant with a breathtaking city view. If you prefer something more casual, a picnic in the park or a beachside sunset is a romantic choice. Remember, it’s not just about the place, but the company you share it with. If you are in NYC for Valentine’s Day, I’d recommend checking out The Ivory Peacock or da Toscano for a dinner reservation to celebrate.

4. Date Night Ideas: Making Every Moment Count

Whether you’re a longtime couple or still in the honeymoon phase, here are some date night ideas to make this Valentine’s Day special:

• Cooking Class for Two: Unleash your inner chefs with a romantic cooking class. Learn to create a delicious meal together. Dive into the art of creating a delectable meal together, reveling in the joy of crafting something delicious side by side.
• Stargazing Picnic: Pack a cozy blanket, some snacks, and head to a quiet spot to gaze at the stars. It’s a simple yet magical way to spend quality time together.
• DIY Spa Night: Transform your home into a spa oasis. Maybe even have a masseuse come over (through something like Soothe)! I would definitely add some chocolate-covered strawberries into the mix as well.

As Valentine’s Day nears, remember that the most important thing is to celebrate your love in a way that feels authentic to you. Whether you’re dressed to the nines or cozied up at home, make it a day filled with joy, laughter, and, of course, plenty of pretty moments.

Wishing you a Valentine’s Day filled with love, style, and all things pretty!

xoxo,
