As yet another couple proceed to show each other ‘what their insides look like’ by forcefully tonguing each other, with such gusto you would think they were competing for the winter Olympics, I’m pretty sure that I might have ‘vommed’ a little bit in my mouth. And I’m not just saying that because I am a ‘Bitter Betty’ with no bae to my name, but because if I wanted to watch porn I would just go home and pop a cheeky video on ‘Redtube’ on. After all it’s not like I signed a lease form that guaranteed me hours of very uncomfortable PDA, while I attempted to read my book on Anne Boleyn is it? I’m like one of those grumpy cat women on Valentines Day, with a face like a slapped arse wishing that all the couples around me would magically disappear so I could eat my f**king Mac ‘N’ Cheese in peace. I mean what’s a girl to do, to get some service round here? But surprise, surprise while my love life might be a total s**ts storm, at least I can look fabulous, even if my version of ‘Valentines Day’ is hibernating in my room, while pigging out on Pizza in my ‘Jammies’.
Now, if like me, you are the most unorganized person in existence and you spend most of your time searching for lost puppies in your room, then this ‘hastily thrown together’ Valentine’s Day guide, will be right up your alley. And no, that’s ‘definitely not’ a euphemism. So whether you are single and ready to mingle or are practically married,my gal Jasmine – AKA my sassy alter ego- has sorted you out and good and proper. And don’t worry, if your idea of a perfect Valentines Day is one where it doesn’t exist, then I can make that happen. Because I like to think of myself as the ultimate ‘Fairy Godmother’ who unlike the utterly useless Father Christmas actually makes dreams come true all year round. From date night outfit couture that will guarantee to have you walking like a ‘crab’ the next morning, to the single gal’s guide to ‘slobbing out’ , I got the goods to make your ‘Valentines Day one to remember… Question is what will you choose?
Get ‘dem Sexay’ Undies in your life and drop it like its hawt
I didn’t have a picture of me lounging around in lingerie so I thought that swimwear would be the next best thing.
After staring at the same pair of sexy undies in Primark for the last 40 minutes, I’m pretty sure the staff think I’m a little cuckoo. I can almost sense them gazing into my mind and thinking what’s the point, it’s not like I’m going to have sex anytime soon. And they are right, the last time I got laid I’m pretty sure it was a regrettable mistake and I have been dodging fuckboy’s ‘bullets’ ever since. But don’t let my lackluster sex life get in the way of you dropping them undies on Valentines Day.Oh no girl, by all means get yourself the most arse chapping pair of thongs that ride so high up your bum crack that your vagina is practically hanging out you can. Because regardless of whether you are wearing some saucy lingerie to ‘turn your partner on’ or like me just really enjoy wearing underwear that is unpractical in every single way possible, then you are in luck. From bustiers that miraculously turn your B Cups into double GG’s (where on earth have you been hiding those) to suspenders that will quite literally ‘suspend your partners thoughts’ there is a special ‘saucy something to suit everyone’s tastes.
Oh and for the record, just because you are single does not mean you can wear the same ‘scaggy pair’ of undies for two weeks. Because let me tell you something, it does not matter whether you are getting any action or not, don’t skimp on the undie front. And let’s face it, I might have been ‘out of the dating game’ for a while but wearing sexy lingerie makes me want to ‘touch myself in all the right places’… Obviously I am joking but my point is that the ‘power’ of great lingerie has the ability to not only boost our confidence but also makes us feel empowered. So if you want to spend your Valentines Day, lounging around in lingerie then by all means be my guest.

Step Outside Out Of The Cliche ‘Red and Pink Bubble’ And Try Something New
This Delicate Lace Blue Dress Is Proof You Don’t Need To Wear Red To Keep The Romance Alive
When it comes to Valentines Day, I can almost imagine the hordes of men and women who will frantically douse themselves in layers of pink and red until they quite literally look like giant (but cute marshmallows). But let me tell you something, there is nothing wrong with ‘stepping out of the V day bubble’ and trying out a different colour or two on for size, Whether you have decided it’s time to fulfill your destiny of becoming a ‘part time mermaid’ in a dash of green and blue or want to channel your inner vestal virgin with pure snow white, there is more to Valentines Day then blending in with the rest of the crowd. Now I’m not saying you have to find the most dazzling green sequin dress and pose nonchalantly in the middle of Shoreditch, waiting for your ‘merman’ to drop by, or that you have to forgo pink and red all together, just be a little imaginative and spread your wings a little bit. And yes I appreciate the irony considering the ‘pink and red outfits’ I have in this post, but hey girl, I got cats to put through college, ya know what I am saying?
So after spending all night contemplating what to actually put in my ‘Valentines Day Guide’ I figured that f**k it anything goes and I will be damned if I have to adhere to a specific dress code. Not today Satan, Not today. Which brings me to my long rambling point, isn’t the whole supposed mantra of Valentines Day about loving yourself or something equally as cheesy as that? So if you would rather metamorphose into a giant blue butterfly than look like a massive poster child for V-day Rom Coms or want to wear something that is as dark as your soul, I hear you loud and clear. And let’s be real, I love the colour red but I am more likely to be seen in the colour blue or pink because its more me, and that’s ok. Just do you girl.

Or if the thought of walking around like you are a billboard for Tinder makes you want to cry, then it’s ok a pop of red or pink will do, even if it is just a swipe of red lipstick.But if the idea of looking like a cherry tomato or a delicious pink candy floss, is your idea of a fabulous get up, then I am totally game for that too.

And Now Some Actual Useful Advice For All Those Ladies Who Are Celebrating Valentines Day
What To Wear If You Are Going On A Date Night With Zac Efron
Zac Efron Will Forget You Are His Crazy Stalker In This Dress
So you scored yourself a date with Magic Mike, (yes I know that’s not his name, whatever) and you are feeling a tad nervous. After all the only reason Zac Efron agreed to go on a date with you was because you climbed through his bedroom window at 4 AM with a tattoo of his face on your bum, pissed out of your head. He thought that the only way to get you out of his room was to agree to a date and you very ‘graciously accepted his offer’, already planning to make a magic spell that would bind him to you forever. But as all Cinderella’s know once the clock strikes midnight, the magic wears off and you need something to convince him that you are not a crazy ass stalker.I mean who isn’t flattered by the thought of a random stranger getting a tattoo of someone who isn’t their boyfriend on their arse. Obviously I would be flattered , wouldn’t you? But all jokes aside, this quite literally would be the mother of all dates, a date that will be the happiest moment of your life, period.
Now while a date to a club might involve you turning up, looking like you forgot your skirt at home, this date with Zac Efron is a classy affair. Although girl, after your performance last night, there is slim chance that he is going to want a second date with a girl who climbed through his window, with a tattoo of him on her arse. And he didn’t even see the magical shrine that you had dedicated to him in your room, or the vibrating dildo with a picture of him attached. Nevertheless in order to convince MR Blue Eyes that you are an ‘elegant’ lady who is the furthest thing from a stalker that you could find, I scoured the internet far and wide to put together ‘looks that will make him fall in love with you’ and if all else fails, just f**king grab the money and run.

What To Wear If You Are Single And Don’t Give A F**k
If I End Up Leaving My House I Want To Make Sure That I Am As Cozy ASF
When it comes to dating my share of f**kboys, I have been there and worn the T-shirt, hell when all my friends seem to be getting married and having children, there is me destined to become a woman who lives alone with her six cats and dogs for the rest of her life. But let me tell you something, I find it so condescending when people ask me if there is ‘something wrong with me’ because I have been single for so long or ‘when I’m going to get a boyfriend’ as though my entire life’s ambition is ruled by whether I am in a relationship or not. No T, no shade, no pink lemonade but I would rather be single and happy than be miserable with someone who doesn’t love me for who I am. It’s ok to be single, it’s ok to never want to marry or have kids, and it’s even ok to not want to have sex with random strangers who sidle up to you in the clubs. Which is where the art of not giving a f**k comes in, whether that be through treating ‘Valentines Day’ like any other day or slobbing out in your jammies, it really is up to you as to how you choose to style yourself this V-Day.
Because I truly don’t give a f**k and am treating ‘Valentines Day’ like any other day, I’m planning to spend my day slobbing out in my cute ASF onesie, a cozy dressing gown and of course slippers that will keep my feet toasty and warm. Normally I would just lounge around in my underwear or in the nude but since I actually have to create a look for the ‘single girl who doesn’t give a f**k’ I figured that just telling you to go naked wasn’t going to cut the mustard. That being said if you wanted to wander around in your finest ball gown, looking like you were auditioning for the part of ‘Belle’ In Beauty and The Beast then that’s totally fine too.And if you are feeling even braver you could stroll through Brick Lane in your dressing gown, prowling through the streets daring each f**kboy to a thumb wrestle. Spoiler alert you win.

What To Wear If You Are Single But You Came To Slay
Serving Single Girl Boss Mermaid. Who Needs A Merman Anyway?
So your ex was a total knobhead and left you reeling at his f**kboyness. But instead of throwing his things out the window or creating a ‘Voodoo Doll’ with his face on it, you decide to show him what he is missing and have a little fun along the way. From twerking in the club and grinding on the cutest guy you could find to attending an Anti-Valentines party and ‘Sissying that walk’, make sure your fierce dance moves match your equally fabulous outfit. Now I am not saying that you have to walk around with your vagina flaps hanging out to show your ex what you are missing, nor do you have to go on the pull. After all the first thing that I did when I broke up with my ex was pour myself a bubble bath and read a book, as going on the pull was the furthest thing from my mind. But since then I have enjoyed reveling in the single life and while I would not necessarily label myself as a ‘party girl’ sometimes it is a lot of fun to let your hair down and just have fun.
Being a ‘single pringle’ often has a stigma associated with desperation, but coming from someone who used to be in relationships to mask my insecurities, being single for such a long time has honestly helped me grow in confidence and made me realize that I shouldn’t just settle for any f**kboy whose only asset was being good in bed. And lets face it, I got sex toys for that. When you enter singledom it can often be ‘freeing’ and for me it influenced the way I dressed too. I had exes who had a ‘say’ in what I wore so I often felt limited in my ‘styling choices’. But suddenly I was single and I was free to wear whatever I wanted and it felt incredible. It was like a rush of adrenaline coursed through my veins and I was living for my new found confidence. Which is where the ‘single but slay ‘ outfit comes in;While you don’t need to prove yourself to anyone, sometimes the worst thing you can do is shut yourself in your room and pretend like reality doesn’t exist. But nothing makes me feel better than getting dolled up to the nines and floating through the tube in a dreamy Princess dress or getting my sexy on in a dress that makes me look like I have an actual arse.

What To Wear If Dresses And Skirts Make You Want To Cry
Proof That You Don’t To Need To Wear A Ballgown To Feel Confident. Comfy Is The New Sexy.
Lets face it, dresses and skirts are not for everyone and I totally get it. After all noone should be forced to wear something that they are not comfortable wearing and if trousers are more your ‘shingding’ then its completely ok. You don’t need to wear a pair of heels or a dress to feel sexy and something as simple as a cute ruffle top or your favourite pair of jeans can be perfect for Valentines Day. After all if you live in the UK like me then chances are you don’t always want to spend the rest of your week bunged up with the flu just because you wore that dress that only partially covers your bum do you? And there is nothing wrong with sticking with ‘comfy’ because in my opinion there is nothing sexier than feeling comfortable in your own skin. So you better werk baby. While it’s ok to still want to dress up for Valentines Day in a tailored jumpsuit or a smart pair of trousers, at the same time rocking up in a pair of distressed jeans with a cardigan and colour-coordinated outfit is just as fun, and an unexpected outfit combination for Valentines Day as well. And if heels make your feet want to shrivel up and die a cute pair of flats will be there to take that pain away.
My point being is ‘Valentines Day’ or not, we have the freedom to choose clothing that identifies with our own perception of ‘personal style‘, whether that be a dress or trousers. Growing up I was very uncomfortable in my own skin because I had a form of body dysmorphia and despised my small breasts, small petite frame and what I saw as a ‘lack of curves’, especially when the bullies would claim that I was ‘very manly’ or ‘looked like a boy’. I remember an uncomfortable moment where someone walked past and whispered rather loudly to their friend as to whether I was a ‘boy or not’ and me bursting into tears as my self esteem plummeted. But when I found fashion I stopped fixating on what people thought about me and started dressing up in ‘dresses and skirts’ that made me feel like a million dollars. While I do wear trousers now and feel more at ease with my own body, I am at my most comfortable when I am in a 50’s style dress with a flower crown, faux fur coat and heels whereas someone else’s version of ‘personal style’ on Valentines Day might be a pair of jeans and flats. And that’s ok, just do you boo.

What To Wear If You Are Feeling Fishy Tonight
I Just Dumped My Sugar Daddy And I’m Serving Rich Fish Realness
Maybe you are feeling like you need to be a ‘Rich Fish’ tonight and slay the motherf**king house down in an outfit that screams your best ‘hot couture’. Well luckily I know a thing or two about putting a ‘fishy look’ together with more gowns than you can count friends, making me the perfect host for serving ‘rich fish realness’. From drop dead sequin gowns that are more at home on a catwalk than at a fancy Valentines Dinner Date, to ball gowns that only someone like Cinderella would wear, it’s time to get balls deep in ‘fishy eleganza’ that will have your audience gagging for the gods. Now for those of you who are unfamiliar with Ru Paul’s Drag Race, the term ‘fish’ means someone who likes to exaggerate their femininity through over the top fabulous gowns, dripping in more jewellery than a bank robber’s stash and of course with a face painted for the gods. So while the term ‘fish’ might usually apply to a drag queen who is very feminine like Courtney Act in this case we can use it to inspire us to channel our inner fish through dramatic feminine silhouettes. Make up is bold and out there, while prints and colours are fun yet elegantly feminine with fish-tastic colours like pink and red and 50 shades of blue turning your Valentines Day into a night you wont forget. And by that I mean you will be walking like a crab the next morning because thing go ‘bump’ in the night. If you catch my drift.
As I mentioned my personal style is very 50’s orientated for formal wear, while the 60’s and 70’s inspire my daywear looks, meaning that when it comes to serving ‘fish’, I live for era’s which accentuated feminine silhouettes. For example the 50’s would feature a fitted bodice, while the skirt would plume into a midi, while the 70’s would favour loose, flowing bohemian silhouettes that were emblazoned in floral prints, both romantic era’s who knew a thing or two about giving you Valentine’s day drama. While the 60’s was infamous for its inclusion of ‘gender neutral’ outfits with androgynous icons like David Bowie, alongside the a-line ‘Mod’ silhouette, you also had the Mary Quant mini skirt, which was the epitome of a youth-centric feminine look, that defined the latter part of the decade. So depending on your definition of ‘fish realness’, below are some ‘fishy looks’ that have been inspired by the 50’s Hollywood Glamour, the 60’s Youth Culture and the 70’s Bohemianism.

What To Wear If Are Bitching About F**kboys With Your Girls For ‘Palentines Day’
Me Searching For A F**kboy’s Heart. Where Is It?
For the first time in years none of your friends are getting married and for once you are all single. But instead of being like the past versions of yourselves and getting back into the ‘dating ring’, you decide that this year things are going to change, you are going to focus on your ‘number ones’ and let your exes ‘eat dust’. For today marks a new tradition, where f**kboys cease to exist and the only thing that matters is hanging out with your Girl Squad. Because it’s like my Jasmine always said ‘F**kboys come and go but your gals are always there to hold you down’ no matter who you are dating. This Palentines Day you have booked yourselves a cheeky meal at your favourite restaurant and are enjoying chomping down on all the mac and cheese and curries it has to offer, while a bottle of wine miraculously turns into six. By the end of the night you all mutter something about never dating men again and compare horror stories about all the f**kboys you have dated.
From ‘Mike The Bellend’ to ‘Peter The Tool’ you strike the f**kboys off your list and make a new list instead… The Ultimate Girl Squad Guide.
Girl Squad Rules
Do: Bitch about f**kboys until the cows go home. Or at least until one of the Girl Squad members falls asleep and you have to carry them home and tuck them into bed.
Do: Turn up in matching co-ordinated outfits, although don’t do an Inbetweeners Special and nickname yourselves the ‘Pussy Patrol’.Keep It classy like ‘I hate F**kboys’ or something ‘elegant’ like that.
Don’t: Talk about how you want to get back together with Mike. Snap out of it you are worth so much more than a guy who thinks that its acceptable to sleep with your best friend. There is a reason why she has been eliminated from the Girl Squad. Whatever happened to Girl Code?
And now for the actual outfits themselves. As I said being part of a Girl Squad comes with an attitude of not giving a f**k about what people think so if you want to turn up wearing matching outfits and looking sassy ASF then by all means get matchy matchy. You could wear a tongue in cheek slogan tee, with a skirt and tights combo or even turn up in the same jumpsuit but in different colours to match your personality. For example you might be in Pink because you see yourself as Barbie without the plastic surgery or you might wear blue because you are the ‘calm one’ in the group.

What Will You Wear On Valentines Day?
*Contains PR Samples
Such a brutally honest and HILARIOUS post! What are you upto Valentines? Oh ya know…Just
searching for lost puppies in my room 😂 LOLING! Really cool post. I’m more a jeans and boots girl for sure, but loving all of your looks. (And your humour!!)
Ana, this post is just genius!! I laughed out loud at scaggy pair of undies!! Valentines day isn’t really a day we celebrate, I found it hard for a number of years after my first marriage ended and when I met Gaz I would much rather he came home with a bouquet of flowers on any of the other 364 days of the year than out of “duty” because of a commercialised day. That said, I loved this post!!
These are really cool outfits for Valentines. Dressing up on V-day is such a nice idea, even for singles!
“My point being is ‘Valentines Day’ or not, we have the freedom to choose clothing that identifies with our own perception of ‘personal style‘, whether that be a dress or trousers.”
I couldn’t agree more! Maybe it’s because I’m also single but I couldn’t care less about V-Day. I slay like any day 😉
Loved the Zac Efron outfit, though…
C
So many great looks Ana, all your dresses are beautiful and I love your long velvet boots 🙂
This guide could only have been written by you. I always love your humor. I totally agree about blue being a Valentines Day color. I also love that burgundy and blue together!
How on earth are you still single? You are absolutely gorgeous and totally rocking all the looks! Such a funny post, I needed to read this with V Day tomorrow 🙁 Men suck! Sim x
We don’t celebrate Valentines day but I would love any excuse to wear that blue and black dress! It is stunning. And I think I need the fluffy coat for everyday wear! This is such a great selection and there is something for all fashion senses x
How did you know I was going to bust out my scraggy undies tomorrow LOLOLOLOL!!!! No seriously, I Love this. And people definitely don’t have to deck themselves out in pink or red – any thing can work 🙂
Love these outfit choices. Gorgeous!
Oh, I’ve read this post grinning. Great outfit ideas! Thanks for the laugh too!
You always look so gorgeous! I am a fan of all of these outfits but I’m going to be honest: I don’t do much on Valentine’s Day because I think it’s a rather silly holiday. I’ll most likely be in sweats in my house, shoveling pizza down my throat. I won’t lie.
You’re looking too pretty in al the outfits I wonder what you’ll wear come Valentine’s. Please do not be caught up in a stle rut!Anyway, I love the look when off to a date with Zac Efron…it’s just cute!Even breaking away from the normal reds.
What fantastically colourful inspiration. With no babysitter though, we’ll be opting for pj’s on valentine’s😉
That’s the spirit! I love your energy. Just because a woman is single doesn’t mean she can’t dress up and feel good about herself. I love that you started with a good lingerie. It makes any woman feel sexy and confident. The following outfits are stunning!
I’m not doing anything on Valentine’s Day – but that doesn’t mean I can’t dress up, right?! Love the blue look! So unusual on a red- and pink-heavy holiday.
Great outfits. You are definitely right in saying that it doesn’t matter if it’s V-Day or not “we have the freedom to have our own perception of ‘personal style‘”. Rock whatever speaks to you.
Okay, let’s talk about those COBALT JACQUARD DIAMANTE BUCKLE STRAPPY HEELS! Luv, luv, luv those shoes and wish I could rock them for Valentines Day but we’re expecting rain and it’ll be cold so it’s denim and boots this year. A little dressed up casual look.
Hard to believe you’ve been out of the dating game for a while because you absolutely slay every outfit you feature! And, while I’m not trying to call you out or anything…but I’ve read a lot of your previous posts and I’m not sure how much you were joking with the bit about wanting to touch yourself in all the right places haha..I kid, Kid!
Haha, love this post Ana. This Valentine’s Day I’ll be sporting jeans, a t-shirt and a hoodie (v glam, not) and my husband won’t bat an eyelid. That said, if I had somewhere to go I’d wear a dress. I love love love that blue lace dress on you!!!
I loved this post! How refreshing to read Valentines ideas that are not wrapped up with a neat red bow. Stunning style throughout and my favorite line: “Comfy is the new sexy.” Give me my yoga pants please and pass the pizza!
I’m not big on Valentine’s Day but I love a good look that slays all day. That rose gold, glittery dress is life. I’ll keep these ideas in mind for other awesome days.
You rock the clothes and I love your attitude about caring for you. My 11-year-old does not get the pretty underwear thing as when we were shopping for some the other day, he said why does one need colored undies as no one sees them. I tried to explain to him that it makes us ladies feel good.
These are some great looks for Valentine’s and spring time as well. Your pictures are great I love the back grounds. Keep up the good work!
I LOVE the navy blue/floral dress (BETH Cocktail Dress from Zolanda). It seems like it would be flattering for all body types and I could wear it well beyond Valentines Day.
What a great and different valentines day post loved reading this, we don’t do the valentines bit anymore it is just a normal day to us x
Loads of sassy choices. The floral navy dress is my favourite, but I’d wear almost all of them. Cool choices.
These are some great ideas for what to wear on Valentine’s no matter what the date you are heading on. I have to admit mine probably isn’t here, I don’t think we are doing anything tomorrow bar a movie at home so I’ll porbably slob out in PJs.
Call me old-fashioned, but I always feel the need to wear red on Valentine’s Day! However, if I was able to rock that delicate lace blue dress as well as you… then it’d be a different story.
Hahaha oh my gosh, this post was AMAZiNG. So hilarious. You are completely rocking all these outfits!
Very cute outfits! But eeew! Who wears underwear for more than a day? Gross! Oh wait, I think I know some people probably my eight and five year old boys! LOL!
I would definitely wear that dress if Zac Efron forgot I was his crazy stalker lol but as always lovely, I do love all these outfit ideas, I try and deviate from reds too when I can
Sorry I would be one of those couples making you vom. And after reading this about how uncomfortable you are all making yourselves in your underwear I am happy to be married in like forever and wearing my Bridget Jones big comfortable pants. But best of luck in getting your leg over as it were.
I love your post, as always! So many great ideas. I absolutely agree with you on the power of great lingerie. It does wonders😊. Also, I love the Zac Efron date dress.
So many great outfit looks and recommendations! You look amazing in all of them. And I agree, we should all treat ourselves to pretty lingerie, and not just on Valentine’s Day.
You have included so many cute Valentine’s Day options. As for me, I will be on the couch enjoying a heart shaped pizza with my valentines…in yoga pants!
Wow those are some really pretty dresses for any occasion. We aren’t going out for Valentines Day. We hate crowds and avoid them when possible. Maybe in a week when everything calms down we will go out.
I laughed so much reading this, you have a great writing voice which is relatable. I loved the outfit ideas but the Zac Efron stalker dress stole the show for me!
I love the blue options –– I think choosing something that isn’t red or pink for Valentines Day is an exciting change 🙂
I am loving that pink dress and the knee length floral one, they are both gorgeous! We are planning to stay in on Valentines day but do have plans to celebrate this weekend when it is easier to get a sitter for my kids.
Great outfits but the pink dress is definitely my favourite.
“I didn’t have a picture of me lounging around in lingerie so I thought that swimwear would be the next best thing.” I am dying :)), the descriptions of the outfits are killing me.
Ps: I don’t have picture in lingerie either, we need to start a group 🙂
Woah, you really nailed all the outfit for valentines day. I really like the swimsuit outfit, really sexy and hot, I was surprise it was a swimsuit. And the chi chi london dress like outfit, so sophisticated for a date 😀
I laughed hysterically at the undies comment. Haha. I am totally guilty of wearing the same old, dare I say, granny panties, (lol) for a while now. Perhaps I should get a new pair for my husband. 😉
I really love your style! I’m just like you when I go shopping, people start looking at me like I’m weird. I’m a bit indecisive.. which is why I spend so much of my instagram time looking at fashionistas! Every valentine’s day I will make it my personal goal now to get new undies, what you said totally spoke to me!
You, my dear, are all sorts of adorable! Seriously, every time I see you have a new post, I can’t wait to see all of the photos. The red sunglasses? They made me laugh out loud., and tell me you wear those for more than photo shoots. The blue lace dress is my fav. All that being said, no matter if I’m single, married, or all shades of in between, I’ve always bought myself sexy undies. I have so many now, I swear, I could fill a dresser (my to my husband’s happiness). Tomorrow night for Valentine’s, we’ve been invited to go to a neighbor’s house for dinner, so I’m sure I’ll wear jeans, a pretty sweater, a bit of red lipstick to feel all fancy-like. Happy Valentine’s Day to you my friend. xx
The blue lace dress is so beautiful. I think I’ll make it by myself. And you are so lucky that you can find those matching shoes as well.
I love the idea of wearing a different color than pink or red! I decided to wear gold this year to be a little bit different. I also love how you coordinated lingerie in your post. A lot of bloggers stay away from that topic, but in reality it is a huge part of vday and you shared the perfect pieces!! 🙂
I agree great lingerie can really boost your confidence. It will also look good on you and be good for your partner too if you have one, if not, it will still make you feel good.
You have excellent taste in fashions. I love your outfits. Your style is great for any occasion. I agree that we should wear pretty lingerie all the time, not just for V-day.
Love this! I always treat myself to some nice underwear for Valentine’s and I literally JUST ordered that Chi Chi dress. But, to be honest, we always stay in for V day, so I won’t be getting too dressed up.
These are really cool outfits for Valentines. I like the blue colored dress with flowers printed. You look amazing in all of them.
I love your style! All of these outfits are amazing
So many cute looks you put together, the Chi Chi London Dress is so beautiful. It is timeless and made me stop and scroll back for a second look. You have amazing style and as always great photography.
Oh girl I love your honesty haha! You crack me up. As for the outfits… you look gorgeous in all of them! x
I am well past the stage of sexy undies, thank goodness. Now, it’s just a, grab some junk food and watch TV kind of level, which is must less stressful.
HA! I love your raw honest post, saying it how it is and holding nothing back. Kudos to you. Enjoy your valentines in your undies and slippers. you’ll probably have more fun than those dressed to the nines, pretending to be in love 🙂
Wow I will never look at Valentine’s Day the same again. I have sexy undies but rarely wear them as they feel itchy. I like the cotton grannie’s undies when I am at home. I have never dared to wear blue lipstick but I do think I should give it a try. This post is so entertaining 🙂 Happy Valentines day dear
Haha only you would stare at lingerie that long because you are just hilarious. But like you, I have been dodging those fuckboy bullets too and I have no regrets so far.
By the way, I love the distressed jeans and cardigan combo, I would so rock this, just not on Valentines because I give zero fucks about it now that I so old and have cobwebs in places I cant mention lol
Happy Valentine’s day though Ana!
All of these outfit (yet, blue laced dress is may fave) really inspired me to get dressed up anytime of the year. Whether to get someone’s attention or just feel good about myself. And I totally agree that a good lingerie boosts one’s confidence.
Ohh this outfits are definitely a great instant picks. I want the The Red Flamenco Diva Look! Just what I am imagining to wear. Others are good too but this one’s my favorite. Happy Valentines Day!
You really are the Ultimate Fairy Godmother cause you made my dream come true. You look wonderful in all outfits. Your last outfit in Red is hot.
I can’t even pick a favorite! I love all these looks so much. You look amazing in all the outfits. I really want the red sunglasses, totally trending.
I think the main thing is dressing in a way that you feel comfortable and good in yourself. I don’t tend to dress up much but I am wearing a new dress tonight x
Love these outfit ideas, so pretty and stylish.
That blue lace dress is lovely and very flattering. I also like the one with the prom like skirt. Both are very elegant.
I like all of the outfits especially the blue floral dress.
I love this post, it made me giggle! I love that blue lace dress you’re wearing…..and I also love the don’t give a f*ck outfit – that coat and those boots! Love them 🙂
WOW you look amazing in all these outfits, I adore blue’s and green’s so these outfits are definitely my favourites. I think Valentines day is just pointless to be honest (and I’m married lol)! Why do we need a day to buy flowers or tell someone we love them?
Undies???? I would throw that into a self care category. You feel good when you look good regardless of whether your garments are inside or out. I could use a undies overhaul! Whether they are seen or appreciated. I love that blue dress and I think it would look great on a v-day ou and about night out. I think your right something that pretty can be worn and it’s obvious it doesn’t need not be pink or red. This dress makes a statement.
Lots of strong choices, the new season fashions look fab!
I love your honesty Ana, and your clear cut attitude towards whatever you’re talking about. You make me laugh, you make me sigh, you make me smile and all kinds of questions and thoughts come to mind while reading your posts. Hope you have a most fabulous day, and do whatever makes you happy.
I’m feeling remarkably under-dressed this Valentine’s Day. Blue jeans, a stretchy grey vest and my Regatta Great Outdoors cardigan. As I sit here typing I’ve still got on my muddy hiking boots. Guess this is what being married means? Lol! Hope you have a great day, whatever you’re wearing.
This is such an honest and transparent post. Avoiding people who do not have our best intentions at heart is always a key to our overall happiness. That blue dress looks amazing on you!
Check you out miss sassy pants, always looking super fierce. I need to raid your wardrobe, for when we go out and when is the next adventure missy? x
Love the first dress you have on. Suits you.
I shared this post to my colleagues and they love your outfits as well. They love your look wearing the Chi Chi London dress. They said that it’s perfect for a dinner date. We can used your styles to our everyday outfit inspiration too.
Your post really made me laugh and that too for a long time 🙂 totally love all your outfits and your writing style, I am a fangirl 🙂 On the other note, I am so with you on the Valentine’s day, I think of it as any other day, although I am in a relationship. My other half believes all the days are valentine’s day for us, why just celebrate once in a year.
I had such a giggle reading this!! Very funny! Love the ideas you have put together here – perfect for any occasion!
First of all I want to say that I think you rock all of these outfits! They are gorgeous. Your writing style had me laughing out loud. Love the way you showcase your clothing.
Girl….. I want that Delicate Lace Blue Dress!!!! Even if I am going out by myself, which I am not today. But if I were, I would totally wear that. And I promise not to do PDA LOL.. Although I am cool with PDA as long as I am not the only one in the room not getting any… Then it’s wrong and awkward. Sometime, we gotta do a girl’s valentine’s here in the states or there with you in England!
You are soooo gorgeous!! I love your first and fourth pic and I super like your fur coat. You are totally rocking Valentines on style!
The blue dress is my bet. I love how sexy and classy it looks. Love all these outfit ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Your pictures are beautiful! I think I visually detect the same edge I enjoyed reading in this post. Thanks for bring some laughter to my Valentine’s Day!
I love the Chi Chi London dress. It is so pretty. I also need Zac Efron to forget that I am his stalker and pretend that I am just a normal person he is going to fall madly in love with!
Love your style. The fifth look is my favorite, that gorgeous coat paired with those boots is stunning.
You are so georgeous, can be a top model.. I love all of the above collections but my fave is the blue lace dress!
Oh my goodness. This had me laughing my head off! What a brilliantly honest and hilarious post! I love the burgundy velvet outfit! X #bloggerclubuk
Your writing style is so brutally honest and hilarious! You gave so many great looks here but I think my favorite piece is those thigh-high red velvet boots!
What a great post!! My fav outfit is the pretty blue floral one. Pretty but different to your usual red dress
You always put together such amazing outfits – it’s hard to choose a favorite one! I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s day but I did treat myself to ice cream.
About buying cute underwear – I think it’s important to do that for our own self esteem and confidence <3
First off, I adore all the outfits you rocked. Was literally living for the dresses in particuar. Now I never was really crazy on getting “sexy” undies cause I’ll take comfort any day. But I was recently in a mood of sorts and reach for a pair that has a little something extra but also lets me feel comfortable so I totally get it now about how it can make you feel.
Your writing is clever, witty and entertaining. 😆 And you have really great taste – love all your selections. Gorgeous!! What I noticed the most were the perfectly matched shoes. They make the outfits even better! 👍🏼❤️
Loving all your looks but I think he blue lace dress is my favourite, My husband and I decided to give Valentines a miss this year as our kids are around and we’ll celebrate other times. Mich x
These are all great ideas. I don’t think I am going to dress up, but rather dress down into my pajamas. I’m getting too old for this fashion, but girl, you rock it all!
I absolutely love your sense of style, as well as sense of humour! I love the bold colours and unconventional outfits. You go, girl!
I missed meeting you girl, I wished we could’ve met! 🙁 Yet another genius post! Although I am not much of a V-day believer I like the idea of dressing up on the day, just for fun, eh? All your looks are fab but my favorite is the Delicate Blue Lace Dress one, it’s so edgy and feminine at the same time!
Lol at what not to wear. I am living for all of these outfits. They are amazing!!
All of your outfits are amazing but what stood at to me the most what the swim suit. It is the prettiest swim suit I have ever seen.
My favorite is your mermaid look. You have amazing style girl.
I love the off the shoulder rose dress – both sexy and cute!! Didn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day this year so there wasn’t need for an outfit unfortunately haha
I really like you! I have seen many of your blog posts and your use of popping colors on your outfits are amazing . All the outfits are really good but I liked the maroon one the most!
I guess Valentine’s Day came and went and I don’t think I got to caught up over everything. I think the sad thing is that I was supposed to wear red for work and totally spaced on that. Ah well. I love this list, although as I guy, I don’t think I can get into any of these looks. I have done drag a couple of times at Halloween and it was a couple times too many. I don’t know how women wear nylons and dress in pumps. Totally beyond me. But I’m with you. You do you. And my Valentine’s Day was about my daughter. Not that I wouldn’t have loved a date with someone amazing, but I got a date with someone amazing too . . . my daughter. I’m all for naked if naked is what you want to be. Who cares? And if pink slippers and pizza is your perfect Valentine’s Day, that’s good too. I’m giving you cheers here with my bottle of beer and slice of pizza and wishing you an amazing Valentine’s Day as you are an amazing women, and I am so happy to be your friend. (What’s your favorite pizza topping by the way?) Hope you had a great one.
I love these outfits! The more casual ones are totally my style and I can see myself wearing them for a girls’ night out, while the more elegant ones for a special occasion. Great photos!
“What To Wear If You Are Feeling Fishy Tonight,” that outfit is super beautiful! I think that has to be one of the prettiest things I’ve seen this week! Thanks for sharing.
these are all great ideas — the zac efron one made me laugh!
I always love seeing your fashion choices on your blog! This year we had a casual meal out, so I wore jeans and a tee shirt!
Wow what a vast collection of outfits you have to choose from! I really like the blue dress with white flowers on 🙂
You look absolutely gorgeous, very nice and lovely outfit. fits you perfectly.
I don’t really plan on going out this Valentine’s but if I were, I’d love to wear something that I wouldn’t usually go for. It’s nice to dress up in something that will make you feel confident as a woman. Love these suggestions and the tips too.
I only wish I could pull off one of those looks with such beauty and ease! My favourite is always going to be a jeans and boots look as I have never really been good at wearing a dress (even on my wedding day). Great post!
I love every single outfit in this post, but I have to say, the sequined dress with the blue lipstick is my absolute favourite! Love the combination of colours!
Girl you just got the style I love! The blue look would be out of the box but I love the velvet look with the fishnets and thigh high boots.
YES! Finally a what to wear on Valentine’s Day post that’s different from others. While it’s nice to stick to the solid colors, I love a splash of colors! These are edgy looks yet so classy and elegant! P.S. love that you referenced Blair Waldorf – some of these outfits are so here. I would probably say they’re more like Carrie Bradshaw from The Carried Diaries (the sequel of sex in the city).
I love wearing red for Valentine’s day and I always paint my nails either pink or red. Since I’m latina, it doesn’t hurt to apply some hot red lipstick for a bold look. I’m always prepared lol
This is hilarious, genius and those outfits are just too cute for any day of the year!! Love this!!
Ahahahaha LOVE this post. I definitely feel better in nice lingerie, but I’m not into the reds or pinks, it’s just not to my taste.
Wow, really cant control my laughter!.. but anyways, you look so charming.. nice outfit.
Love your outfits, I have to admit I was thinking Blair Waldorf when I saw your red outfit
I laughed and nodded a lot to this refreshingly honest ‘saying what I’m thinking’ post.
I would wear several of these looks. I like the sexy panties the most though. They are the ultimate in feeling sexy.
Wow! Very gorgeous outfits. Looks very classy and sexy at the same time. Thanks for sharing these ideas! ♥️ ♥️ Tiffany!
So many beautiful options here – I really love that blue dress. We just went to the cinema during the day, so I didn’t wear anything fancy.
Holy. Smokes. BABE. Babe. BABE! Each combo was incredible!! LOVED the blue so much on you doll!
I’ve got to admit that I did the cliche and bought red lingerie for Valentine’s – I usually stick to black so it made a nice change.
Also I love your ‘single and came to slay outfit’!!
I’m so in love with the red outfit, those shoes are so lush! I also love you’re single and don’t give a fuck, outfit. You rock pretty much every style Ana 🙂
Nice outfits. I saw many people dressed from casual to very formal, and very hot this Valentine’s Day! It’s good to see people still celebrating it . I love any excuse to dress in something i really like.
I love love love that blue midi dress, you look stunning! And you are absolutely right, you dont need to wear red on valentines. 💜
Omg i know right! Who says wearing lingerie isn’t iT??! Same as you, i love wearing lingerie coz “i like feeling myself on the right places” hahaha.
Hey your dresses here reminds of Dolce and Gabbana!
Such a lovely collection, but i like your footwear a lot. Thanks for all outfit suggestions.
Beautiful outfit choices. I love that they are not all red. It is nice to have more color options.
I agree that you don’t have to be in a relationship to wear lots of new lingerie. I’ve got so many new sets lately!
All these outfits are super gorgeous but my fav was the shimmer one <3
love all the outfits! I wish I had the guts to try these kind of outfits! Thumbs up!
These are great idea Valentine’s outfit. These outfits are pretty and stylish. My wife would probably love all of these, especially clothes from Missy Empire.
Firstly let me say that all these outfits are giving me such outfit inspo! Love it! But, this has been one of my fave reads! Absolutely hilarious, honestly made my day.
I’m gutted I missed out on Valentine’s Day due to my illness this year but girl you are rocking each and every one of these outfits! YASSSS! The red floral dress has got to be favourite!
