What to Wear for Valentine’s Day

Hey Hey,
So Valentine’s day is coming up! Whether you’re cupcaking with you boo or hanging with your friends for a girl’s night out, the occasion calls for some saucy sparkle–preferably in red. Let’s look at celebs to see how it’s done:

Celebrate in a short hemmed cocktail like Serena and Eve…

serena-saucy

…or go tea length…
… a la Alicia and Janet.
If you’re not really felling going all out, opt for a layered look…
…throw a wrap sweater or jacket over a dress like Sanaa, or simply wear a red knit with a leather jacket and leggings like Gabrielle.
If you’re feeling more ‘bahumbug’ but still want to show a little spirit, try adding a belt to your ensemble…
..slipping on a sleek shoe…
…rocking a cherry colored bag…
…or really getting adventurous with a turban….
…live a little!

*Wonder what I’ll be doing?? Well…if you’re a Fashion Bomb vet, you’d know that I have serious foot problems. I decided that after Fashion Week, I would finally get my bunion removed. The surgery is set for tomorrow morning! Ack! I am terrified….terrified!!!! But. What better time than now? So while y’all are all cupcaking, boozing, and dancing, I’ll be holed up with my foot in a boot:( Knowing me, I’ll still try to update through my valium haze. Hopefully one of the interns can come through for me during my recovery. Pray for me!
