Hasta La Ideas

Valentine’s Day is arguably one of the most romantic days of the year and I have a feeling many people will be giving and receiving presents such as blooming flowers, delicious candies and chocolates, and maybe something a little more intimate. The best thing about underwear and pajamas is you can wear them in the privacy of your own home (wearing your polar bear pjs to your Monday morning class is a big no-no!) which means, you can wear the silliest things without embarrassment in the face of the general public. So while you may be looking for something alluring to seduce your partner with, why don’t you get something a little on the silly side too? Wear a pair of kiss printed panties while you’re doing errands or at the gym as your little secret. Or give your sweetie a pair of candy heart boxer shorts that gives those messages on the candy hearts a whole other meaning. When Valentine’s Day is long past, you can always wear these again and again for a funny yet romantic pick-me-up. Just click the slideshow to see more!

Roses are red, violets are blue, nothing says ‘I love you’ like these gadgets do! …If you’re not the skilled poet I am and any attempt at a homemade, personalized gift “from the heart” often turns out disastrous and unappreciated, don’t feel bad! After all, it is 2009, and this year the real way to your guy or girl’s heart is through their inner geek! Whether you’re looking for an updated alternative to the old-fashioned flowers and candy or just looking for some cutesy Cupid-inspired ways to get yourself festive this V-Day, these darling devices are sure to appeal to your techie side (even if you’re not that gizmo-savvy)! Check out the electronic goods, ranging from Swarovski-encrusted earbuds to a heart-shaped webcam to keep in touch with your sweetie overseas, in the slideshow!

Let’s face it, unless you have plans for V-Day with a very special someone, odds are, you’re feeling the effects of Single’s Awareness Day or SAD. Turn your frown upside down, honey, because there’s no better day to treat yourself with more TLC than usual. Why not stay in and paint your nails with Sephora by OPI nail colour in Le Beau – it’s sure to last longer than your bad mood. For the always cheery, why not celebrate the holiday with as much gusto as your did in the third grade, with super fun Hard Candy Heart Sunnies! Most importantly, remember that there is hardly a more acceptable time to indulge in sugar, whether it be with a batch of homemade heart-shaped cupcakes or some frog prince chocolates! And if you get really lonely, the boyfriend pillow is always there to snuggle with you. Check out my slideshow for plenty of Valentine’s Day ideas for single gals!

When you want to brave the winter chills outside, you may put on a hat and scarf, and while it may not always coordinate, it will at least keep you warm, right? Well, why bother worrying about mixing and matching when you can have a hat and scarf in one piece! I’m talking about hoodie scarves (scarves with hoods) that will keep your head and neck nice and cozy. Some hoodie scarves even have pockets so you might even forgo your mittens or gloves! This thick hooded scarf by Eugenia Kim has a futuristic sci-fi feel to it. Meanwhile, the ubiquitous circle scarf from American Apparel can be worn a dozen ways (or more if you’re really inventive). Take a look at the slideshow for more hoodie scarves that will keep you nice and toasty all winter long.
