Valentine’s Day Gifts to Give and Keep
Whether you’re all-in for a massive love-fest with your special someone, or see it as an over-the-top reminder of your singledom, it’s impossible to avoid.
A hopeless romantic and commitment-phobe all rolled into one, I see Valentine’s Day as a chance to show my love – for my friends, my family and myself.
Because I’m such a sucker for love, when February 14 rolls around, I always find myself drawn to outfits in shades of red and pink, or both colours together like this gorgeous Spellbound Dress from Sheike.
This Candy pink wrap dress comes with a detachable waist belt and features soft puff sleeves. Dress it up with sky-high heels, or for a more day-to-day outfit, pair with some stylish slides.
Another beauty that caught my eye was the Summer Floral Trapeze Shirt Dress from Veronika Maine. Made from a stunning floral print linen imported from Italy, this dress boasts full sleeves, a button front and tiered hem.
Whether you’re headed to a romantic dinner for two or cheeky little staycation at Hilton Brisbane, or looking to treat yo’self before indulging in a night of takeaway and Netflix, here are 28 Valentine’s Day gift ideas sure to make any heart sing.
