V-Day Picks for Your Not-So-Secret Admirees

First of all, kudos for getting a jump on your Valentine’s Day plans (T-minus less than three weeks to go!). Starting now (well, yesterday, with our Romance 101 Boutique) and for the next few weeks, we’ll have Boutiques chock full of everything – and I mean everything – you’ll need to outfit your day. Whether you’re boycotting red and pink or laying a path of rose petals, plan (and shop) to your heart’s content.

Second date
You like each other, but it’s only been a couple of weeks (stop panicking). Get dolled up and dapper in these can’t-help-but-stare dresses and date wear (that’s gift enough for now) and grab drinks at a swanky bar. And gents, a bouquet of something never hurts.
Our It’s Love: Valentine’s Day Style for Her and Him Boutiques open Thursday, January 31, at 11AM ET.

“We don’t do Valentine’s Day”
Or so you say. Skip the not-quite-cooked-to-perfection meal out and plan an intimate dinner at home, complete with a rose centerpiece, Orrefors flutes, and filet mignon (cooked just how you like it).
Our Table for Two: A Romantic Dinner at Home Boutique opens Monday, January 28, at 11AM ET.

If you’re with the one you want (like, for forever)
Guys, if you’re hoping to put a ring on it (eventually), this is not the time to overlook seemingly silly holidays. So, if you’re saving the diamond for another time, opt for an almost-as-impressive Swarovski crystal pendant or pair of earrings. Ladies, a stainless steel Raymond Weil watch is fail-safe. He’ll pass this one on to the kids.
Our Be Mine, All Mine: Standout Watches & Jewelry Boutique opens Monday, January 28, at 11AM ET.
