St. Valentines Day is the perfect pretext to indulge in blood red
roses, boxes of deliciously delectable chocolates, and passionate kisses
shared against the backdrop of breathtaking city silhouettes. Hence,
on February 14 th cast aside the mundane and revel in all things tantalizingly
sensual, wickedly decadent and sinfully pleasurable. Skip the every
day shower and run yourself a candle lit bath, drizzled with aromatic
oils. Listen to romantic tunes by Sade or Michael Bublé as you
scrub your skin into creamy perfection. Focus on the intimate solitude
of the moment and savor the beauty of contentment. After stepping out,
dry yourself with opulent %100 Turkish Cotton towels. Finally, for
a body that begs to be touched, liberally apply Laura Mercier’s
Soufflé Body Crème all over, paying special attention
to elbows and knees.
On Valentines Day even if you are sharing a romantic meal with your
significant other in the privacy of your home, dress up to the nines.
Unearth that sexy evening gown from the shrouded corners of your wardrobe
and pair it with a pair of impossibly high strappy stilettos. Let your
look pulsate with sexappeal.
CRIMSON PASSION
Crimson is the color of sizzling passion. Lure him to the red hot
fervor of your desire by draping a scarlet silk gown over your irresistible
body. Remember some men like it picante.
MIDNIGHT VIXEN
Back is the color of dark desire. Smoking with mysterious magnetism,
the absence of all color epitomizes timeless elegance, understated
glamour and simple panache. For this reason slip into the little black
dress that never goes out of style.
PRETTY IN PINK
Pink is the color of youthful innocence. Indeed, the naïve beauty
of pink’s wispy wholesomeness can be the most potent aphrodisiac.
Men are drawn to pure beauty they can protect and worship. Thus, for
Valentines Day choose a powder pink dress defined by delicate weightlessness
as your elixir of l’amour.
WHITE AFFAIR
White is the color of brazen confidence. A woman clad in the striking
boldness of white demands to be noticed. This year, in order to hypnotize
your valentine, stand out from the crowd in a frothy cloud of a dress.
Makeup is the best way to accentuate the captivating exquisiteness
of a spectacular ensemble. Glamour sans a picture-perfect face is like
a peacock devoid of blue-turquoise feathers. On Valentines Day try
Fashionlines’ ultimate temptress look.
