There’s nothing like being wined and dined. Lucky you! Ladies, you can’t go wrong with a little black dress like this and of course a gold clutch for some instant glam. Add an elegant layered necklace and strappy gold heels to complete the look. Gents, don’t be afraid to add some color and texture to your blazer game like this.

Galentine’s Day is officially a thing!  Round up your girls and hit up your favorite lounge or club in a merlot colored, form-fitting dress like this. Obviously you need some fabulous footwear, appropriately called Hotstuff. Top it off with some ball drop earrings and a head turning leather jacket. Sophisticated and fierce. Bey would be so proud of your #slay skills.

There’s no shame in hanging with the guys tonight, and who knows…you might even meet next year’s Valentine while you’re out! In case you do, make sure you look your freshest. Start with a fool-proof chambray shirt and pair with classic (but fashionable) slim fit khakis. Accessorize with a sleek leather watch and some suave wing-tip oxfords. Pretty much just dressed our dream man, so let us know where you’ll be heading ;)
