Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Her

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, it is the time to celebrate and do something extra nice to that special person in your life. If you still have not made reservation for the romantic dinner, you better do it now! No…wait, finish this article first. As with the Valentine’s Day gift, let me propose some ideas here and hopefully you might find them useful, if not as least it can help you thinking in the right direction. I have divided the gifts into 2 sections – Gifts for Her and for Him, so all couples are included.

GIFTS FOR HER

1) BURBERRY BODY MIST FRAGRANCE

The Burberry Body Mist that comes in a multi-faceted, iconic bottle designed by Christopher Bailey, is a lighter version of the iconic Burberry Body fragrance. The frosted glass bottle reflects the soft, light nature of the scent as it delicately scents her skin and hair. The fragrance is alcohol-free, with top-notes of fresh green absinthe, peach and freesia blending midway into a floral bouquet of natural rose and iris with subtle tones of sandalwood. It finally settles into a base of woody cashmeran, creamy vanilla, sensual amber and musk.

HSD’s Note: The bottle design is already a clear winner, elegantly designed and a wonderful gift for her.

Available now at Burberry Store and Burberry Fragrance Counters.

2) LANVIN MARRY ME FRAGRANCE

This is a special Valentine’s Day Edition of the LANVIN fragrance , MARRY ME – A symbol of passionate feelings and burning declarations of love. A cry from the soul, a declaration of love with flowers and bouquets of hearts…this stylishly artistic vow is signed by Alber Elbaz , the brand’s Creative Director, on the packaging of the fragrance. His original illustration depicts a world of joy and colour inhabited by tender, cheeky characters. An ode to love and laughter…and such a wonderful message! For Valentine’s Day, the MARRY ME! bottle puts on a new gown inspired by the haute couture codes of the House of Lanvin, with lacquered glass in a deep red shade and an XXL ribbon in garnet-tinted organza. This is a made-to-measure gift for all fashionistas.

HSD’s note: A great gift for those of you who wish to use this occasion to pop the question. But… don’t forget, this is not a replacement for a diamond wedding ring.

Available at major department stores from February 2012.

What's your Style Archetype? Knowing yourself is the first step to being stylish!

The fashion world is huge, but it can really be simplified to twelve Style Archetypes. Which one you belong to depends on a few things – the importance of clothing in your life, your preference for different patterns and apparel, as well as the amount of effort you're willing to put into dressing up.

Once you know your archetype, you'll find that dressing up and looking good isn't hard at all. Less trial and error, more hitting the spot. You can even start exploring looks and brands within your archetype that you never thought you'd like. Take this test to find out which Style Archetype works best for you!
