Jump Heart-First Into Valentine’s Day With These Lovey-Dovey Staples

February marks the month when all things pink-and-hearts begin to materialize in front of our eyes, reminding us of the different ways we can display our affection and spoil the special people in our lives. Here are some of our favourite lovey-dovey staples that are going to make you want to rush heart-first to the nearest shopping mall. —Christina Armanious

Roots Magenta Loungewear Set: This “Love One” unisex set from Roots comes in the limited-edition shade of magenta, and is the perfect matching sweatsuit for you and your partner to sport this Valentine’s Day, whether you plan on spending it at home or dressing it up for a casual (but cute) date look. Alongside the love-inspired colourway is an emblem on the sleeve cuff that reads “Love Your Roots,” a nod to not only loving yourself but how you were brought up, whether it’s the likes of your friends, family or community. 

AREA Heart Cutout Blazer: Elegant with a come-hither look.This crystal embellished heart cutout blazer from Nordstrom is the Valentine’s Day showpiece you didn’t know you needed (or possibly knew existed). Whether you decide to throw a tight slip dress underneath for a classier look, or a bralette and sleek trousers for a more flirty one, this blazer is a playful statement, perfect for ringing in the season of love—or revenge.

Coach Valentine’s Day Collection: Coach’s Valentine’s Day collection will satisfy all of your gifting or self-spoiling needs, from allover heart slides, sneakers, wallets, bags, scarves, and the cutest ivory knit heart sweater, reminiscent of the ’60s aesthetic. 

Pandora Valentine’s Day Collection: Just when we thought Pandora could not get any more charming (sorry), their Valentine’s Day collection has firmly proved us wrong … again. The brand’s collection offers an elegant selection of dainty earrings, rings and necklaces with delicately embellished heart-shaped pendants and shimmering pavé, some with sparkling red accents for a more elevated look.

Seletti White Love In Bloom Vase: This human heart-shaped ceramic vase from SSENSE is taking Valentine’s Day decor to a new level of literalism, and we are here for it. The sculpted receptacle is not only textured, but its white-as-snow colour will make any blossom pop. Talk about flowers coming from the heart.

Aquazzura Heart Pointed Toe Slingback Pump: Nevermind the fact that kitten heels have been making a comeback in recent years, these slingbacks from Nordstrom are the ultimate Valentine’s Day date night shoes. With the perfect combination of point and pavé, and showy without being over the top, the crystal-encrusted heart on the vamp of the heel will add some much-needed bedazzle to any look.

David Yurman Valentine’s Day Collection: A gift of love that lasts. David Yurman’s high jewellery Valentine’s Day collection consists of exquisite 18 karat yellow gold heart-shaped necklaces, each coming in a variety of delicate pendants, from opal, pavé diamond, rhodonite, amethyst, sapphire, morganite and more. Another one of our Valentine’s Day favourites are the pavé diamond initial pendants, perfect for wearing individually or in multiples on both a necklace and bracelet. 

Terrain Antiqued Brass Candlestick: What’s Valentine’s Day without a little romance? And what’s a little romance without fancy gold candlesticks for your table? With the ability to customise the candle holders to your ideal length, they will polish up any room. Did I just hear a candlelight dinner for two?

Alice + Olivia Crystal Heart Cutout Button-Up Shirt: Because wearing your heart on your sleeve is so boring. This cotton blouse from Nordstrom includes hand-embellished rhinestones surrounding heart-shaped cutouts all around. Whether you decide to style it with a colourful top underneath to make the cutouts pop, or wear it as is, we guarantee that you are going to be the most alluring and festive person in the room (location inconsequential).

Moschino Pierced Heart Clutch: It doesn’t get more Valentine’s Day than this cupid heart clutch from Moschino. Featuring an arrow pierced through a velvet heart pouch, with ruched detailing to accentuate its structure, this clutch might just show someone how smitten you are of them. But be sure not to poke anyone. 

Sleeper Zephyr Ruffle Gloves: It’s no question that evening gloves are having a fashion moment, and this light pink ruffled pair is no exception. Every bit as dramatic as they are elegant and classy, these gloves will make even the most boring dress memorable. And what better time to wear them than during the most romantic holiday of the year?
