Dooney and Bourke

Because a designer bag will make any woman swoon.

Dooney and Bourke is an American company that creates the most gorgeous bags, wallets, and other accessories with impeccable craftsmanship. This company was created in 1975 with the goal of making a difference in the fine leather goods market and still today Dooney and Bourke creates the most wonderful leather pieces. Any of their purses make a Valentine’s gift that is a dream come true. Their bags are luxury that you can carry on your shoulder. Just unwrapping a package containing a Dooney and Bourke piece is an experience. The gorgeous color of the leather pops out at you immediately. Your valentine will reach in to pull out the bag and the smooth yet firm leather will feel amazing in her hands. The sweet scent of the leather hits and she’s in love.

A tote bag from Dooney and Bourke is a fabulous choice. Their totes are just the right size for a busy woman on the go. The Emerson Small Shannon Tote is large enough to hold a wallet, personal items like lip sticks and lotion, a smart phone, and a small planner with room to spare. It is small enough to still carry comfortably on her shoulder. This is a brand new design from Dooney and Bourke and can be ordered to arrive just in time for Valentine’s Day.

The Emerson Small Shannon Tote is available in 9 bright and beautiful colors. Shown here in Geranium, this bag will bring a pop of color to your Valentine’s Day. It really is the most perfectly neutral red. The long leather straps are comfortable on your shoulders and the bag opens wide so you can easily get what you need out of it, even on the go. Inside there is a zippered pouch with two small pockets. Otherwise the bag is completely open and ready to be filled with whatever necessities are needed to get through a busy day. We love that this bag has enough room to be your go to bag but is not big, bulky, or too casual so you can transition it into a night time look if you have some fun plans in the evening.

Lo & Sons Claremont Camera Bag

Because every photographer should have a go-to luxury camera bag.

This Valentine’s Day, pick a gift that does double duty and spoil the creative side of your loved one! Smart and stylish, the Claremont is anything but your average camera bag. Designed and beautifully crafted to be THE fashionista’s go-to camera bag, the Claremont by Lo & Sons not only accentuates any outfit, but also protects a photog’s most precious cargo: their DSLR camera (or, perhaps even your vintage film camera!). And with plenty of space, there is even room for an extra lens, SD cards, and your personal belongings such as keys, wallet, phone, and maybe a tube or two of your favorite lip gloss.

The Claremont, shown here in black, is made of the finest leather (you can literally smell it upon opening the box) and includes a soft, light gray, beautifully stitched, padded interior to protect your camera and any accessories. A padded divider is also provided to protect the camera from shifting inside the purse and separate it from any lenses or accessories you may also carry. Two SD card slots can be found under the snap closure front, and a zip pocket in the back is perfect for keeping passports, extra money, or ID cards.

For those that looking for a transitional piece for their accessories closet, the Claremont is the perfect purse for not only the every day outfit while out and about running errands, but also for dressier events in which one might want to have their camera on hand without a big, bulky camera bag. The Claremont is so sleek, most wouldn’t even know that it’s toting around a pricey piece of machinery.

Vionic Shoes

Shoes for every kind of Valentine’s date.

Just because its Valentine’s Day doesnt mean you have to get all dressed up and go to a fancy restaurant for romantic date. If you are looking to do something more casual where you dont have to make a reservation 6 months in advance and spend hundreds of dollars, do something fun, easy, and inexpensive like playing a round of miniature golf or grabbing a latte at a coffee shop. For these kind of dates, you wont be needing a pair of stilettos but you still want to be cute and fashionable. Whether your date plans are active or simple, weve got you covered with a couple of stylish (but more importantly, comfy) options from Vionic.

The Joey Casual Sneaker is perfect for an active date. It gives you the comfort of an athletic shoe but provides the fashion statement you need for a date night instead of looking like youre heading to the gym. These shoes will look perfect both with a pair of yoga pants or your favorite jeans.

If your are meeting for Valentines date for lunch or grabbing a cup of coffee, you may not be up for sporting a pair of pumps. The Adeline Slide gives you the posh style you are looking for with the comfort of a flat. Not one ounce of effort is needed to slide these beautiful shoes on and complete your Valentine’s look.

From sandals and heels to boots and sneakers, the options are endless.

Robe by Lacoste

Because nothing is cozier and more romantic than snuggling up in a nice robe

You might be considering lingerie for Valentine’s Day. It’s a classic gift. However, we have another suggestion that is just as romantic but more comfortable and will be worn more than one time. Why waste your dollars on some impractical pieces that she will never wear again? Get her a cozy robe and she will never take it off, except when she does, and then she’s got nothing underneath, just like lingerie but she will actually want to wear it.

Don’t just buy any robe. The fashionista in your life needs the most incredible robe from a top designer. The Lacoste Break Point Robe is perfect. We love this robe in bright red for Valentine’s Day. It is bright and beautiful. Made with an ultra soft cotton, the inside is a terry and the outside a pique knit. Wearing this robe makes you feel like you are at a world class spa.

The Lacoste Break Point Robe is one size fits all yet you get a snug fit by tying the belt to your liking. If your Valentine likes to take baths to relax, she needs a warm robe for afterwards. If you are shopping for a mom, this robe is great to put on over top of pajamas in the morning on the way to the kitchen for a cup of coffee when the kids wake her up too early.

Urban Decay Makeup

Makeup that any glam-girl will love.

If your glam girl is a makeup fan, she’s surely heard of the cult-favorite brand Urban Decay. Their Naked Eyeshadow Palette and Naked2 Palette are two of the industry’s all time best selling shadow palettes, and the Naked3 is the long awaited follow up to those popular eye shadow hues, put together one one ultra-glamorous package. The Naked3 Palette allows you to play with and experiment with 12 new shades of eye shadows that have never been seen before, and are all within the rose-hued neutral tones, varying from a pale shimmery pink, all the way to a deep black matte with micro red glitter pieces, perfect for an intense smokey eye with a small pop of color. There are many different textures within this one versatile palette such as:

• ultra-smooth mattes,
• gorgeous pearls
• glimmering metallics

Each shade features the Pigment Infusion System, which is the proprietary blend of ingredients that gives each shade its velvety texture, rich color, serious staying power, and blendability.

Once her makeup and eyeshadow looks flawless, it’s time for her to set it in place so it stays put all night long. The Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray is a weightless misting spray that you spray on your face after makeup is applied to give your makeup some serious stay put power. This setting spray keeps the makeup looking freshly applied for up to 16 hours, without melting or settling into fine lines and wrinkles. It’s perfect for all skin types, from dry to oily, and this vegan formula has been tested strenuously and 78% of people admitted that their makeup lasted longer, and looked better, longer.

Finish up this makeup gifting spree with some of Urban Decay’s Vice Liquid Lipstick in a fun new hue she’s sure to love. The new vegan formula is a liquid lippy that is waterproof, and it won’t budge until she intentionally removes it. It provides longer lasting color, with zero transfer, in intense matte pigmented colors. There’s over 40 shades of colors, in two different finishes (matte and metallic) and there is a color for anybody’s personality, from creamy neutrals to bold and shocking colors.

P.J. Salvage

Because every woman deserves her perfect pair of pajamas.

Every mom loves a soft, cozy pair of pajamas that make her both look and feel pretty. With plenty of solids and prints to choose from, P.J. Salvage is the perfect place to shop pajamas no matter what her style is. All of the pajamas are high quality and they are constructed beautifully, with a woman’s body in mind.

The Chenille Cozies Long Sleeve Top & Chenille Cozies Shorts for so many reasons. The gorgeous, light pink color is not only perfect for Valentine’s Day, but it exudes femininity and softness. And let’s not forget, the name certainly does not disappoint– they are so cozy! Uber soft and comfortable, these pajamas feel like heaven. The Long Sleeve Top is everything we’ve ever wanted in a pajama top– it’s loose, comfortable, and the scoop neck top is flattering on every figure. The baby pink yarn is almost iridescent, giving the top both dimension and interest.

The Chenille Cozies Shorts are the perfect balance with the long sleeve top; you won’t get too hot, and you don’t have to worry about long pants bunching up throughout the night. The drawstring allows for the perfect fit for maximum comfort. Together, these two pieces create the ultimate luxury pajama set that every woman will love.

For even more comfort (and cozy!) pair the pajamas with a Silky Blanket so she can enjoy her coffee in luxury. This plush blanket is the perfect weight and size, and couldn’t be softer. Give her the gift of comfort this Valentine’s Day, and whether that means sitting with a good book or scrolling social media, this blanket will keep her cozy and relaxed.

P. J. Salvage has a unique approach to their clothing by blending lounge + intimates + sleepwear + sportswear all into one look.

RagPoets from ZSupply

Because every woman deserves timeless, casual fashion.

So much about Valentine’s Day is the glitz and glam: fancy dresses, fancy dinners, and fancy shoes. Boiled down to its essence, Valentine’s Day is about love. We want clothes that help us savor the moments in between the fancy dinners; the clothes we can make memories in while helping with our children’s Valentine’s parties or grabbing a quick lunch with our husband. We want clothes that are comfortable, practical, and stylish. RagPoets from ZSupply embraces all of this. They believe that clothing should transcend seasons, events, and time. These pieces are timeless just like the memories we make cuddling our kids or snuggling up with our husbands in the evening. RagPoets prides themselves on casually simplistic designs rooted in the classics.

We love the Aldrewood Cowl Neck Pullover Sweater. This sweater is the perfect pairing of comfort with a side of classic. It is crafted from baby French terry fabric, featuring a draw-cord cowl neck, raglan sleeves, dolphin hem, and consistent stitching. Perfectly colored in a soft cameo rose, this is the perfect sweater to love you back this Valentine’s.

The Myrtle Button Up Top is a wonderful classic top that is lightweight and relaxed. It features a pleated back, rolled up cap sleeves, and high-low hem. The soft Moon Mist makes this the perfect shirt for breezy care free days and can be dressed up for nights.

PRIV

Because every woman deserves to be pampered.

Give the gift of a salon experience– anywhere she wants! PRIV is a unique app, offering on-the-go salon services to New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Miami, Philadelphia, Chicago and Washington DC locations. You can schedule a number of services, including blowouts, facials, massages, makeup applications, personal trainer sessions, nails, haircuts or men’s grooming. Perfect for busy moms who can’t get a sitter, PRIV can be scheduled by selecting an available appointment time at a location of their choice. PRIV can also be booked for corporate events, weddings, or any other special events.

Whether it’s a morning sweat sesh with a personal trainer, a manicure at the office over lunch, a massage during nap time, or a blowout before a night out, she can feel relaxed in the comfort of her own home– or wherever she chooses! PRIV also offers children’s haircuts, so kids can stay in their pajamas, mom can be productive (or relax!), and avoid a trip out with everyone. Mom will love that PRIV has all her salon needs covered, wherever and whenever she needs them.

Handmade Clay Bracelet Stack from Simbi

Perfect for the socially-conscious woman who loves unique pieces of jewelry

We discovered Simbi around the holidays last year, and fell so deeply in love with their products, their mission, and their story, that we had to feature them in our Valentine’s Day gift guides. The Cherry Blossoms bracelet stack (below) features colors perfect for Valentine’s Day, and all year round. Each clay bead is made from pure clay harvested in the mountains of Haiti, and handmade in Haiti.

This is the ultimate gift for anyone who loves subtle touches of truly unique fashion (get prepared to receive a lot of compliments on your Simbi stack), while also being incredibly socially conscious. These beads are in stunning shades of purple and pink, with hand-stamped charms. Each charm features a different word, and while you can make special requests to Simbi as to what word(s) you’d like stamped on the charm, we really love the thrill – and serendipity – of opening the package to see what surprise words were made just for you. The beads are unusually cool to the touch, and have the most beautiful eye-catching glisten to them.

Simbi’s clay beads are 100% organic, vegan, biodegradable, hand-rolled, kiln fired, and glazed with non-toxic paint. Each bronze charm is hand stamped. And the absolute coolest part? Just one clay bracelet supports 15 sustainable jobs and provides clean water to the people of Haiti. The entire process – from product concept, to design, to the physical creation, happens in Haiti, in a facility with zero carbon footprint. This company is one of the best feel-good brands we have come across recently, with such a pure mission to truly help the country of Haiti.

Babo Botanicals Lip Tint Conditioners

Because sometimes you want just a hint of color

For an everyday lip color that looks and feels great on, Babo Lip Tint Conditioners are ideal. Babo Botanicals creates products for your body that are natural and nourishing. The lip tints give you a hint of color but unlike heavy lipsticks full of harmful chemicals, Babo Lip Tints smooth and soften lips with Babo’s Nutri-Soothe Complex, rich in anti-oxidants & vitamins. Choose from five pretty pink colors that look good on all skin tones. Your Valentine will never leave home without her Babo Botanicals Lip Tint!

Entourage

Because every woman deserves to look fashionable for less.

Stepping out in style this Valentine’s is a must, but it shouldn’t break the bank. This is why we love Entourage– everything they carry is $42 or less. Take a look, and we know you will fall in love too. The What About Us Cold Shoulder Top in Pink paired with the Such a Jean-ius Denim Skinnies is the perfect daytime outfit. This is perfect for running to hit up Target for last minute tidbits before you head to school to share in Valentine’s fun with the kiddos. Dinner plans? The Trendsetter Skort in Pink is a suede, asymmetrical, mini skort that pairs perfectly with any meal. Add on the Let’s Run Away Necklace to make a subtle statement. Whatever your plans are for Valentine’s you will be sure to turn heads with Entourage.

Isabelle Grace

Because every woman deserves jewelry personalized to fit their life.

Valentine’s Day is a tricky holiday. So much of the day is over-commercialized with gifts meant to impress others more than they are meaningful. The true meaning of the day becomes lost on how big or how grand the gift is. Isabelle Grace puts the humility of love back into the holiday. They offer an array of custom pieces, like the Open Heart Bar Personalized Necklace. The fine silver bar can be personalized with up to two lines of text. We love the combination of initials and an anniversary date. The piece is hammered to achieve a distressed look and works perfectly for everyday wear. The best gifts are those from the heart, and your gal will love this thoughtful piece.
