Happy Valentine’s Day Me!

By Hannah Thomas in lingerie, Top Picks, Valentine's Day on Monday 11th February, 2013

This Valentine’s Day we’re suggesting that all you lovely ladies out there treat yourself this year.

More often than not, men buy the wrong size, a disgusting colour, or a completely impractical set of lingerie for your shape.

Perhaps I’m not giving these generous men enough credit, but for once, we think it’s nice to celebrate loving YOU this Valentine’s Day!

I’ve picked out my favourite lingerie set from our range below. I chose our beautiful satin chemise because I think this is a really luxurious item that you can treat yourself to without the breaking the bank. Also, to keep with the red theme, I’ve chosen the fuller bust lace bra and matching briefs. Let’s face it, it’s not everyday that you buy red underwear, so why not?

If you’re debating what to get your yourself (or your other half!), take a trip to our Valentine’s Shop for more inspiration.

Comment and let us know how you’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day this year.

F&F Valentine's Day Underwear

Stupid Cupid

By Hannah Thomas in Celebrity, Top Picks, Valentine's Day, Womenswear on Thursday 7th February, 2013

Valentine’s Day is one of those annual calendar events that polarises opinion. Some people are filled with dread as soon as the word is mentioned, and others are counting down the days until their loved one does something fantastically romantic to celebrate their love and adoration.

Whatever your thoughts on the matter, whether your single or attached to your partner’s hip, there are many ways to celebrate the day.

The best Valentine’s Day I ever had was a night out with all of my single girlfriends. We dressed up, did ‘Secret Cupid’ (a take on the Secret Santa gift buying) and had set out some clear rules and tasks for the evening – with relevant punishments for not completing said task.

It turned out to be an awesome evening of celebrating being single on Valentine’s Day and having some quality time with those you love and will always love! Remember the saying…’men come and go…’

Anyway, with so many different ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day there are obviously so many ways to dress for the occasion. Having taken some inspiration from Alicia Keys, Anne Hathaway and Reese Witherspoon we think we’ve nailed a few key looks.

Whether you plan on doing a two can dine offer in the house, but still want to make more effort than putting on your pyjamas as soon as you get in from work, or if you want to pack a punch on a dinner date or even a night out with your single friends, we’ve got three looks covered.

Comment and tell us how you’ll be celebrating Valentine’s. Better still; feel free to share any funny Valentine’s Day stories with us. We’re all ears!

Sherin Loves... Scientist Chic!

Sherin from HiFashion loves… Scientist Chic!

 

“I love Lizzy’s blog because she has amazing style and looks gorgeous in everything. It’s great that she still blogs regularly despite doing a PhD, and there’s always intelligence behind her posts. She’s one of the nicest bloggers I know and I love that there’s a fellow Fashion Blogger who loves Formula One as much as I do!!”

Susie loves... I Want You To Know!

Susie from Takeout in Couture loves… I Want You To Know!

 

“Talented knitwear designer and blogger Kristabel started I Want You to Know in December of 2008.  I Want You to Know is a great mix of event coverage, personal style, travel, and one of my favorite places to read about upcoming trends, vintage finds, and up and coming brands. I’d like to give her the F&F Limited Edition Striped Ponte Pencil Skirt, as it would look absolutely flawless on her. :)”

Tor Loves... The Style PA!

Tor from Fabfrocks loves… The Style PA!

 

“My favourite blogger at the moment is Jenny of The Style PA. The Style PA is the perfect mix of up-to-date fashion news, personal style, and shopping ideas. It’s like all my favourite kinds of blog rolled into one. And it helps that Jenny is one of the coolest girls I know!

Jen mentioned on her blog last week that she is about to start a new job, which is why I chose this statement jacket for her. I hope she likes it!”

Pearl loves... Intrinsically Florrie!

Pearl from Fashion Pearls of Wisdom loves… Intrinsically Florrie!

 

“When Clothing at Tesco offered me the chance to send a fellow blogger a Valentines surprise I knew immediately who to choose. Florrie’s blog is so enchanting, she writes about her experiences with fashion but always with her own personal touches, expect lots of flowers, florals, pink, bows and cup cakes! Most recently she has shared her fairytale experience of being a debutant and her discovery into the world of Sweet Lolita style. Life can’t always be sunshine and rainbows and Florrie has also shared her experiences of learning to live with a chronic medical condition, she is a very brave young woman who I am proud to have as one of my closest friends. If anyone deserves a little treat it is Florrie”

Jen loves... Gem Fatale!

Jen from A Little Bird Told Me loves… Gem Fatale!

 

“I love Gem Fatale’s fantastic blog. She’s a master of DIY (adore her leopard print nail art!), her writing never fails to make me laugh and her outfits are always cute and quirky. I think these heeled desert boots are right up her street – Happy Valentine’s Day, Gem!”
