For some students, Valentine’s Day consists of a lovely evening at a romantic restaurant, followed by the evacuation of roommates.
On the other hand, many students will spend the evening wallowing in loneliness or being thankful that they are free of a time-sucking, emotionally draining parasite that may also be known as a significant other.
For those of you that plan on romancing the man in your life, I am here to guide you through an evening of sexual appeal and, most importantly, class.
Although I do hate to be cliché, the red dress is a must-have for the most romantic night of the year.
Whether your red dress is sleek and sophisticated, youthful and vibrant or fresh and playful, any style is bound to look fabulous.
Though a daring plunge will never be out of style on an evening of love and lust, a barely-there back with a bit more coverage in the front is a classic that screams “drop-dead gorgeous.”
Of course, it is crucial that the hottest pair of heels on the market accompany this dress.
Yes, black heels are always a must-have but, if you’re daring enough, pink is the way to go on Cupid’s holiday.
That red dress sitting in your closet is waiting for its time to shine, and I can assure you that if it hits anywhere above the knee, your man will adore you even more on this Valentine’s Day.
While the world has the privilege of observing a woman’s public appearance, there is always that one thing that only her man is given the opportunity to appreciate.
Lingerie comes in many shapes, sizes, textiles and colors: sheer, satin and lace.
A woman can never go wrong with the lingerie in which she feels sexiest.
Because the beginning of the evening will be carried out in a brilliant red dress, I would suggest that now is the time for variations of pink, black and, of course, an innocent white.
Ladies, don’t think that those heels have fulfilled their duty, because they still have some time to put in.
But looks are not everything.
Everyone knows that the perfect scent is sometimes the key to a man’s heart.
Every woman’s skin requires a different combination of ingredients, but my most desired scent of the season is Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb.
This breath-taking scent is my boyfriend’s personal favorite and its astounding blend of rose extracts, amber, patchouli, musk, bergamot, sambac, orange tea, tea, jasmine, freesia and catleya orchid is to die for.
I do suggest testing the product on your own skin before purchasing it, as it can be quite strong on some.
But Flowerbomb is long-lasting and lovely for any occasion.
A few more favorites are Ralph Lauren Romance; Lovely, by Sarah Jessica Parker and J’adore, by Dior.
These scents are sure to make you feel fresh and beautiful on this special evening.
No matter what articles of clothing you wear or which perfume you choose on Valentine’s Day, confidence is and always will be the key to radiant beauty.
