HALF-OFF HOTTIE: Red for a Cause

Red is all over these days! In everything related to Valentine's Day, and on the runway at Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week's The Heart Truth Red Dress Collection

I absolutely loved Camila Alves in Kaufman Franco's one-shoulder dress. (in red, of course.)























Gorgeous!

This made me loove the idea of a similar dress for Valentine's day. Perhaps shorter (considering the reality and fact that most of us aren't going to a ball, or walking a runway) and found this gem:
























It's versatile enough that you can wear it again and again, so even if it's too late to buy it for VDAY, it's perfect for any other date!

COSMETICS CUTIE: You’re Positively Glowing!


By Jen
Valentine’s Day is Monday and whether you’re preparing for a romantic evening with your man or a girls night out on the town, you should be rocking fabulous make-up!
In the spirit of this romantic holiday, I recommend a romantic palette. Sweep on some shimmery eye shadow, give those lashes a subtle pop with a delicate mascara wand and swipe on some lip-gloss.
You’ll also need blush, courtesy of NARS. In a series of twenty suggestive shades from “Torrid” to “Orgasm,” you can have a Valentine’s glow with hints of sparkle and shimmer you can't get from your everyday blush.
If you’re going for the natural blush that accompanies a Valentine’s Day romance, then more power to you, but for the rest of us, NARS blush will keep you glowing all night long.

COMFY COQUETTE: Fit to be tied... by Victoria Secret


Romper and leotard style lingerie can be kind of weird in steamy situations. I mean, who really wants to climb out of their underwear in front of their partner? Not I. This satin and lace romper by Victoria Secret presents the perfect solution, however. The deep v-neckline, front ties and satin bodice make getting in and out easy. I'm also loving the color!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Valentines Day Feature 4 - A Night At Home



Just because it's Valentines Day doesn't mean you have to go out!  Maybe you have a few little ones at home.  Maybe you and your love are cooking for each other to save up some money.  Whatever the reason, you're spending it at home.

But that doesn't mean you should look anything but sexy as hell.

Oh, this?  I just threw this on, no biggie!  Yes, it's silk.  Yes, it shows off a lot without showing off a lot!  Yes, this meal is delicious and I am amazing.

HOMEY HONEY: Spoonful of Love

Valentine's Day is approaching and who wouldn't want these adorable measuring spoons. Not only are they functionable, but even if you never use them they are cute to have on display to add a little love to your home. Personally, I would rather cook with something as cute as this over my current set of measuring spoons. If you plan on making your significant other a homecooked meal, I would definetly consider these, then when you can tell him it really was made with love.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Valentines Day Feature 3 - Recent Break Up



Valentines Day is not a holiday for everyone, especially those who just experienced a break up, or whose broken heart just can't seem to get fixed.  For my ladies, the holiday just brings anger!

You're not going out.  You're going to sit inside, eat ice cream, and watch sad movies.  Maybe listen to some sad music and write in your journal a bit.  And if you're of age, maybe drink a whole bottle of wine, because it's YOUR day, and you can do what you damn well please!

But just because you're hurting doesn't mean you can't treat yourself to a fabulous new pair of comfy pajamas!  I mean, you should eat that ice cream and watch those movies and drink that wine IN STYLE!

These floral pj's will be a good reminder that spring is on the way.  And we all know spring (not February) is the real time for love!  There will be someone better for you in the spring, someone who cares!  Someone who will one day see you in those floral pajamas and all they'll be able to think about is how much they love you.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Valentines Day Feature 2 - The Manhunt





Continuing with our series this week discussing different outfits for the different kinds of Valentines Days that ladies can have, today's outfit is for....THE MANHUNT.

You and your girls know that if a guy is out on Valentines Day, he is SINGLE AS THE DAY IS LONG!  Because no man with a girlfriend he cared about would ignore his lady on v-day!

I chose this super tight, super sexy black dress because you want to flash the sexy, but not flash too much else.  Valentines Day is on a Monday after all.  Sequins are simply inappropriate for any Monday, unless you're in Las Vegas.  So stick to a short black dress and do it up with jewelry and amazing red lipstick.  Purr, sex kitten, it's time for the manhunt!

With less than a week to go, Valentine's Day really is just around the corner! Why not flirt is up in this cute, made to order, polka dot cami set from Etsy seller MamieChang? The trapeze cami has cute frilly details that will maximize your bust line, and the way the fabric pulls away from the body will create the illusion of a slimmer waistline. Pair with the matching hipster brief (which has ruching in the back!) to give the look a cute, girl next door vibe.

COMFY COQUETTE: Gimme Some Sugar


I have a thing for rompers and this Sugared Grapefruit Bodysuit from Eberjey is so sweet! I love the girly lace detail and the easy to wear cut. For those looking to go the more casual route this Valentine's Day, this is a great, out the box option.

HOMEY HONEY: Here To Stay

I love Valentine's Day (I am sure many will disagree), but I love every holiday because it gives me an excuse to decorate. I was searching through Urban Outfitter's Valentine's collection and found this rug. It says "Please don't go". Even if you don't celebrate Valentine's Day, you could still use this rug as a doormat, because who likes to see anyone go? I also really liked the idea of a leaving mat instead of the typical welcome mat.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: My Blue Valentine


As we are now less than a month away from Valentines Day, I am going to start featuring lots of great frocks in which you can celebrate love.  And that means love to your boyfriend, or your girls, or your family, etc, or maybe celebrating being a single and sexy gal!  Doesn't need to be date!  I mean, really, do you need an excuse to dress up?

I love this blue (it's my favorite!)  Also note the high customer reviews for this dress (ALWAYS a good sign!)
