| WHERE IS YOUR HEART? |
Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching and it's time for men everywhere to start shopping. Stop it already with the roses and the chocolates, okay? I mean, it's fine as a peripheral gift. You know, like he does it in addition to cooking you a five-course meal and then presents you with a photo collage of your most tender moments together... or, maybe he sets a little red box etched in gold down beside you with perfect radiant diamonds inside.

A HEART FULL OF FANTASTIC -
CARTIER |
We all know... it's not the value of the gift, it's the thought that went into it. So, let's be original, shall we, gents? And by original, we are not limiting your choices to cards made of construction paper unless you're flat broke. Capisce?
Here's my wish list for Valentine's Day - Remember, I'm a stylist for a living. I see it all and I want it all. Don't judge.
Handcuffs. Because we all know when they're made of 24-carat gold with diamonds, they serve multiple purposes. Imagine these bad boys on your wrist. Your guy now has you down on lock and key and you like it... that's right. I said it.

| JACK VARTANIAN HANDCUFF BRACELET $10, 200 BUY HERE |
Sexy thong underwear... in lace and bright, playful colors. Hanky panky takes the cake and won't break the bank. Get her a set of three and she'll pay you back, I'm sure. ;)

| HANKY PANKY VALENTINE'S THONG UNDERWEAR, $18 AT SHOPBOP |
How about an
18k ring lined in diamonds of white and pink that spells out how he feels? Yeah, I'll take one.
And if that price tag is too steep for your pocketbook, try some of these fun pieces available at Heart Boutique.
A chic little pouch to carry my coins in... because you know there's a meter that needs to be fed somewhere.
Or, maybe something a wee bit bigger for all of my personal sundries... in red. Yep.
 |
| MULBERRY OVERSIZED ALEXA BAG, $1,513.05 BUY HERE |
A fun little shirt to wear out on one of my many jaunts in this city. Something that says I'm chic and I'm fun. Lanvin fits the bill.
 |
| LANVIN TSHIRT 22 FABOURG, $839.06 BUY HERE |
 |
| WILDFOX COUTURE HEART TSHIRT, AVAILABLE AT KRAZY MARY'S NOW! |
Some killer suede pumps, marked down. Because they're red and fabulous.
|
| SIGERSON MORRISON BUCKLED SUEDE PUMP, MARKED DOWN TO $297.50 AT SHOPBOP |
Or, take a cue from
SJP and Sex and the City and buy her a pair of
Manolo Blahniks... in hot fuschia. Trust me, she'll thank you over and over and over again.
 |
| SJP IN MANOLOS |
A pair of sassy red sunglasses that look good with my jeans and a tshirt, top down, chromes spinnin'... If only I had that vintage convertible Carrera Porsche right about now. The Carrera sunglasses will have to do...
 |
| CARRERA AVIATOR SUNGLASSES IN RED AT SHOPBOP |
A distressed leather moto jacket in vintage red. So I don't get too chilly at night. We do live near the Delta after all. ;)
And finally... a strapless red dress to go under my red leather moto jacket. Sure, it might be a wee bit much on the leather and it's skin tight fit might be slightly inappropriate and I might look a little Sandra Dee ala Grease, but I'm acting like I care or like that's a bad thing...

| DSQUARED2, $1505 MARKED DOWN BUY HERE |
So, there you have it... My marching orders for you gentlemen who shop and for those of you who don't, and I'm assuming that's most married and/or committed hetero men (probably not reading this either), ladies, print this page! Don't be overwhelmed either... just take what I've outlined and work with it. It's not like you have to throw a grand down to find your lady something fabulous. Find her a variation of each of these gifts and she'll be tickled pink.
Happy Valentine's Day. May all of your hearts be filled to the brim with something fashionably fabulous.
