EDITOR’SLETTER

You’ve secured a reservation at the in-demand restaurant, and, after more deliberation than you planned for, you’ve settled on a Valentine’s gift guaranteed to score some brownie points. Now what on earth are you going to wear? It’s easy to leave this aspect of a Valentine’s date to the last minute, but V-day is as awkward for dressing as any smart-casual invitation. Whether you’re going for a Michelin-starred dinner or a simple brunch date (check out our dining listings!), it’s all about making sure that you dress both stylishly and appropriately for whatever you’ve got planned. With this in mind, we’ve given you a rundown of coveted fashion, jewellery and watches to make the day pass without any hiccups or a fashion faux pas. Our Beauty Buzz will have your skin prepped and looking flawless whereas our Beauty A-Z will ensure that you are clued up on 2020’s beauty vocab. That’s the clothes, gifts and glam sorted – the chemistry is up to you.

Now, if Valentine’s Day really isn’t your thing, don’t worry as Miss Ohlala is on the same page as she tells you why the recently dubbed ‘Galentine’s Day’ is definitely getting her vote. Speaking of girly giggles what better way to show that person you love, be it your partner, mother, sister or a friend that you care about them than an indulgent spa treatment or day? We’ve got you covered on that front too in our feel-good spa listings. Always one to embrace being corny, I’ll leave you with this...
