What I Love Book

One of my favourite things to do during the week is to check out the New In This Week section from Topshop. I don't know if anybody else does this, but it's one of my favourite past times. 

This week I was browsing through their new Unique range and came across this cute little book, perfect for Valentine's Day. 

You get to fill in the blanks of why you adore the person you're with, making this a Valentine's gift that's personal and sentimental. What a lovely way to remind you both why you love eachother without having to spend too much money.

You can get the What I Love Book here at Topshop

Valentine's Day - Dress For Your Date

Whenever a holiday like Valentine's Day comes around, it just gets me in a good mood. I almost feels like I have a project to work towards, in a weird way. This year is my year to plan everything and I'm feeling the pressure. What should we eat? what do I wear? Presents? The thought process is endless for me.

So here are a few of my favourite outfits, separated by the type of Valentine's you might be having. 


Casual Date

This could be a chat over coffee or a cinema date , but a casual date should be simple but accessorized perfectly. I'm thinking quirky animal prints, maybe a bit of leather and some gorgeous jewellery to smarten it all up. 

1. Jack Wills Anchor Pattern Sleeveless Dress
2. Warehouse 3D Flower Detail Necklace
3. Jack Wills Radford Nail Varnish
4. Mango Saffiano Effect Tote Bag
5. ASOS Gold Plated Chain Bracelet
6. ASOS Maximum Flatform Loafers



Dinner Date

For me, a dinner date outfit needs to take his breath away. A sexy slip dress under an oversized coat and dainty jewellery will distract him from the menu and ensure the focus is on you. 

1. River Island Black Lace Insert Slip Dress
2. Oasis Long Drape Coat
3. ASOS Limited Edition Crystal Charm Necklace
4. Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick in Glamour101
5. Kurt Geiger Labrea4 White High Heel Sandals
6. River Island Gold Crystal Heart Repeater Tennis Bracelet


 
Long Term Lovers
 
This was probably the most difficult to create an outfit for. This is for those couples who have been together for a while now that use Valentine's Day to remind themselves why they love each other so much. I don't care what you say, for me, lingerie is an outfit that should be planned for special occasions.

1. Ann Summers Nataliya Ivory/Black Cami Suspender
2. Warehouse Pretty Stone Studs
3. St Tropez Skin Illuminator in Rose
4. NARS Satin Lipstick in Honolulu Honey



Also, Love Honey do an amazing range of Gifts that will go perfectly with this sexy number.

I Heart You Nail Art

I've wanted to get back into my nail art stride again for a while now and up until now, I have to admit, I was a little hesitant. 

But I've bitten the bullet and decided my first branch into nail art again will be inspired by Valentine's Day. Because who doesn't love a bit of romance. 

I applied a layer of Nailtiques Formula 1 as my base coat, followed by two layers of the fabulous Pillow Fight from Ciate. 

I then took a curby grip and dotted into Kiss Chase to create a heart shape on my chosen nails. Running it diagonally across one way, then the other to create that heart shape. 

I then decided to add a little sparkle with Confetti onto alternate nails. 

Quite a simple nail art session tbh and I love the finishing look. So pretty and very appropriate for Valentine's Day.
