In honor of the upcoming holiday, I have painted my nails neon pink and have gone shopping online for all things pink. I find that people either love or hate the color pink. I personally wish I owned more pink stuff. It doesn’t get much better than a pink blow dryer and you can’t feel more pretty and feminine in any other color!

Check out my Think Pink buyer’s guide in Kazowie to see my ultra-fem/punk pink picks and let me know what YOU think of pink!

As I said in my Valentine’s Day Outfits shopping guide on Kazowie, though I’m not one to discourage it, there is no need to wear pink hearts from head-to-toe in order to celebrate love on Valentine’s Day. I, however, am actually considering going all out this year — pink top, red pants, bows, hearts, the whole nine — to celebrate NOT being in love. (Getting dumped in Februrary makes you bitter like that). I’ve picked out three outfits that incorporate pieces which, for the most part, can be mixed-and-matched, and that can be worn any day of the year, not just on Cupid Day. Each ‘fit incorporates only one or two “Valentine” pieces. Check ‘em out and tell me what you think!!

I think I’d wear option #1 out to dinner (with my Valentine or, more realistically, a group of my closest my girl friends), option #2 is fit for a night of dancing at the club (aka finding a cute boy to be my Valentine for a few hours), and option #3 works for day or night, with anyone, anywhere, to a casual dinner or the movies. Whatever you’re doing this Februrary 14th, I hope you have a Happy Valentine’s Day!!

A close friend of mine and I were discussing the upcoming holiday together this morning; the infamous February 14th. Valentine’s Day. This holiday could be easily named the most insufferable holiday of the calendar year. On the other hand, if you’re lucky enough to have snatched up a keeper, your Valentine’s outlook might be a bit different. (Of course, Valentine’s Day isn’t just a celebration of “romantic” love. It’s a perfect excuse for a girls’ or guys’ night out!) By the end of our conversation, we had come to the conclusions that:

1. Valentine’s Day can be fun regardless of whether you’re hooked up or flying solo, and that
2. It’s not difficult to make an effort to show your loved one(s) that you care!

My friend suggested cooking your partner a meal based on a family recipe that you love or, if the relationship is on the serious side, passing down a family heirloom to your Valentine. There’s no need to spend big bucks either. In fact, the best gifts usually cost little or nothing at all. Start thinking now about what your intended Valentine(s) likes and appreciates; be resourceful and original, be funny, be yourself. I’ve added some cool V-Day gifts to Kazowie that might help jumpstart your creativity.
