Valentine’s Day is basically already upon us. If you haven’t picked out your Valentine’s Day date look, um, what have you been doing? Valentine’s Day isn’t just any other day. You can’t throw on jeans and heels and call it a night. No way! You need a special razzle dazzle look! Well, now that I’ve totally stressed you out, I’m going to help you out! Here are the essentials you need for a perfect Valentine’s Day date look.

A hot dress

Girl, you need to show it all off on Valentine’s Day. Treat your man to something really special. You all know that I’m a sucker for body con dresses. So, I’m going to give you two curve-hugging options. First, here’s a red number, the ‘Summer Spotlight’ knit bandage dress from French Connection. It’s the perfect office to date number. Put on a blazer and chunky necklace for your 9 to 5 gig. And then ditch the jacket and necklace for your date. Throw on some super sparkling earrings and you’ve got yourself a hot little look. If you’re looking for something a little less obviously sexy, but still special, try this black ruched long sleeve dress from Tildon. It doesn’t show that much skin, but it still shows off your body in a major way.

 

Red lips

The perfect pout is a must on Valentine’s Day. You want your man to be thinking about kissing you throughout your entire date! A red lip will totally do that. Mac’s Ruby Woo lipstick is the gold standard of red lips. But, if you’re looking for something a little more budget friendly, Revlon’s Super Lustrous Crème Lipstick in Certainly Red is a really close dupe!

 

Sexy heels

Leave your flats the office, ladies! Valentine’s Day is a night for sky-high heels! My favorite heels are always nude because they make your legs look a mile long. I love Louboutin as much as any woman and these Tucsy Two-Tone Leather Pumps are my idea of the perfect special occasion shoe. They’re glittery and elongating! If you’re not looking to spend your mortgage on a pair of shoes, I salute you. Here’s the Lovefury Platform Heel from Nine West. It comes in several colors. My favorite would be the glittery gold!

 

Sultry eyes

Just because you have a bold lip doesn’t mean you can’t do something dramatic with your eye. As long as you keep the colors neutral, you can get as smoky as you want! Go for some bold liner and gray shimmers and you’ll be set. I’m actually not THAT picky about my liners and shadows and there are a variety of products at all price points that work. So, use what you have in your makeup bag, just amp it up, girl! It’s a special occasion!

 

A getting ready drink

Since you’re going to be spending extra time getting gussied up tonight, turn it into a little event for yourself. Put on a fun playlist to pump you up and sip on a glass of PS: Match. It’s my new wine line and trust me, it’s amazing. You’re going to love it!

Have a wonderful night, my lovelies. Can’t wait to hear all about your Valentine’s Day dates!
