  • Valentine’s Day Bouquets That Are Good Enough To Eat

    Valentine's Day and its annual gifting conundrum of flowers vs. treats are back. But this year, we won't have a last-minute doubt in our minds what the right present should be. Because this year, we're gifting both in the form of one: the edible bouquet.The double-edged sword of V-Day presents, edible bouquets are just what they sound like — take an artful floral arrangement and insert food in the place of blooms.

Ahead, these literally good-enough-to-eat bouquets and more that will earn you MVV (Most Valuable Valentine) status on February 14.

  • This Brand Is Giving Us Everyday Romance With Valentine's Day Lingerie

    While mastering the mystique of French-girl lingerie seems like a momentous task for every day, around Valentine's Day, I'm subtly reminded to step up my game. It feels great! I certainly walk differently with fine lace accoutrements hugging my body. Think of great underwear as the foundation for a great outfit that projects just as much style and confidence. If Bridgerton is teaching us anything, it's to live in the sensuality of the moment and do it for yourself. Valentine's Day is a great excuse to revamp your lingerie drawer and start with everyday luxuries. I always say, "Treat yourself!" I've seen it written that 20 percent of French women's wardrobe spend goes to lingerie. Well, Gap has some great deals right now, and you can get 20 percent off with the code ADDON or 50 percent off with the code BIGSALE. You won't have to break the bank that much, but it will certainly look like you did. Related: After 15 Years, I'm Still Buying This Bra From Gap
