Whether you’re having a quiet day/night at home, visiting the cinema; going shopping; having a picnic, or simply visiting someone deserving of your attention, have these keepsakes in mind to make it a fashionable, yet memorable Valentine.
Skin glow is essential!
No matter how you’re crafted bodily, you owe it as a duty to your fashionable self to ensure that your skin is in top shape this Valentine’s Day. The harmattan has eased off, and the heat is in full blast, so you need to run away from dehydration. Dehydration affects the skin negatively and may even cause you to age faster according to studies. SO, invest in quality moisturiser, which prioritises natural ingredients.
Black dress
It is rare to fail in fashion with the black dress – long or short; it goes with as many colours as one can think of, so there won’t be much of the dilemma of choosing the right accessories. The black dress can also be dressed up or down, depending on the outfit.
Clutch bag
For many date nights, the usual bags would not cut it, unless the plan is to take a baby along with you, hence the need for the big bag. Use the opportunity to get yourself a clutch bag for the evening. Seemingly insignificant as the clutch is, it is almost as important as your dress, as your ensemble will look obviously incomplete without it.
Expert makeup services
It’s one day in a year and you can take the excuse to pamper your beautiful self, however little. Invest in getting makeup services from an expert for your special outing.
Heels or nothing
If you have a phobia for heels, use the few days between today and Wednesday to break out of it. For Valentine outings, whether casual or formal, it’s either heels or nothing. This will serve the purpose of flattering your feet, while boosting your confidence in steps.
Sexy lingerie
Even if you choose to go with the traditional fast as is recommended by some religious organisations, expectedly, the fast ends sometime in the evening and the rules against pleasing your significant other in the bedroom are relaxed. Everyday isn’t Valentine. So, take advantage of this day to show off your sexy self in quality lingerie. Red, pink, purple are some colours that appeal to the eyes in this regard. No matter your size or shape, there are many possibilities when it comes to looking flirty in fashionable underwear. If you wish, work around your bedroom lighting to make your outlook even better!
Take another look at your nails
Get a manicure/pedicure for this day. And if you can’t get professional services for various reasons, opt for doing it yourself or ‘bribe’ your friends to do it. Warm soaks, nail polish remover, quality nail polish, nail file/buffer, and cotton wads, and you’re well on your way to looking glam for Valentine’s Day.
Don’t forget your hair
If you’re too busy to get your hair done over the next few days, simply grab your best wig, or go natural. Bad hair days are rarely ignored on Valentine’s Day. How can you claim to be in love, if you don’t love your hair enough to make it look special for the special person in your life?
