With Valentines Day almost upon us, I thought I would make a post containing some fashion ideas for any of you stuck on what to wear. This year, Valentines Day is on a Friday so me and my boyfriend are going out for a meal and drinks in town - how posh! Anyway, booking the restaurant got me thinking about what I'm going to wear. At first, I had no idea but then I decided to take a little trip onto Polyvore (I made it yesterday and already I'm in love!) to look for some inspiration.

With Valentines Day almost upon us, I thought I would make a post containing some fashion ideas for any of you stuck on what to wear. This year, Valentines Day is on a Friday so me and my boyfriend are going out for a meal and drinks in town - how posh! Anyway, booking the restaurant got me thinking about what I'm going to wear. At first, I had no idea but then I decided to take a little trip onto Polyvore (I made it yesterday and already I'm in love!) to look for some inspiration.
Red Roses - A classic sign of Valentines Day and one I find simply beautiful. I'm not a massive fan of how roses smell, in fact them dodgy pale pink rose scented body care sets you get in places like M&S make me feel physically sick, but in terms of how they look, roses are beautiful. I really love this photos, its so simple and yet its stunning which gave me some inspiration for a potential outfit.
Sweetheart neckline dress // nelly.de & Nasty Gal // £91.00 & £42.00 - doesn't the name of these dresses just make you think of the day of romance? I was instantly drawn to them as I'm quite a fan of classic black dress and figured it would be perfect for a romantic date due to it's simple but sexy qualities. The neckline is slightly revealing without looking slutty and the colour keeps it looking classic and timeless, basically I'm in love. For me, the best way to wear this dress would be to play up the timeless feel to it with some simple jewellery, a beautiful smokey eye and some classic black courts.
Red platform pumps // Christian Louboutin // £660.00 - Even though I just said that this dress would look beautiful with some black courts, why not add a bit of spice with some sky-high red pumps? It is Valentines Day after all..
Black and gold belt // Oasis // £28.00 - I added in this belt but now I'm starting to think these dresses may not even need it. I originally put it in to tie in with the gold of the necklace the lady on the right is wearing and also because belts are extremely flattering on figures however I'm now thinking it may look better without. I still think it's a lovely belt though.
Red lips photo - I knew with it being Valentines Day and to go with those fabulous pumps, I wanted to add in a red lip. They're such an icon and it's not hard to see why. They instantly make an outfit appear more glamourous and much more polished. Perfect if your going for that sophisticated look.
Semi matte lipstick in Jungle Red // NARS // £16.00 - Speaking of the perfect red lip, I think NARS may have found the answer! In this picture this lipstick seems like the perfect lipstick to really get that classic (I say that word too much!) red colour however after googling swatches, it seems like slightly too orange toned to really be what I was after. Even though the colour may not be exactly was I wanted, the finish sounds perfect. To me, 'semi matte' implies that it has the staying power of a matte lipstick (perfect for eating, drinking and dancing all night!) without the drying effect that the finish can have. Dry lips with lipstick sitting in the cracks on a first date, not a good look. I'm quite curious about this finish now so next time I'm in Beauty Bizarre, I may have to try one on, although I won't be buying one as I can't really justify spending £16.00 on a lipstick when I don't wear them too often.
Viva glam Rihanna lipstick // MAC // £15.00 - Once again, I google some swatches and this seems to me more of what I was after. I absolutely love the packaging and from what I've heard (I don't own a MAC lipstick *cries*) the formula is brilliant too. Also, doesn't the money raised from the Viva Glam range go to charity anyway? Doing a good deed whilst getting a free lipstick, perfect.
Eyeliner // eyeslipsface.com // £1.50 - I added in this mainly because I like the look of the image but also I find that a feline flick of eyeliner is really complimentry to a classic outfit and a sultry red lip. If worn right, it really opens up the eyes making them appear sexy and feline-like which I think would be lovely for a date. Eyeliner is also a must when wearing false lashes as it hides those terrible bands.
The NARSissist cheek kit // NARS // £30.00 - This little kit contains a highlighting blush called Devotee as well as two of NARS' most infamous products: orgasm blusher and laguna bronzer. I added this in mainly for the blush. Although I've never tried it, I figured it would create a lovely flush of colour that wasn't too in your face and just looked like you were in love.
That's the end of this extremely long post! I hope it helped some of you decide to wear on the day :)
On Valentines Day, I will be sure to take some outfit photos so y'all can have a nosy at what I decided to wear. I would love for it to be this outfit however I can't afford it right now so I will just have to apply a little imagination to my wardrobe. What are your plans for Valentines Day?
