Are you sick of hearing about Valentine's Day yet? Believe us, even those among us who are shacked up completely feel you. And as much as there's nothing like a Hallmark holiday to make us want to crank up Jagged Little Pill (or Beyoncé, whatever), we have a little proposal for you instead. 

Not to steal Oprah's shine or anything, but there's something particularly powerful about reclaiming a day like February 14th and using it to show yourself a little love (novel idea, we know). Whether your idea of romantic dressing is a fuchsia Comme des Garçons skirt with ruffly cut-outs, or crimson Agent Provocateur underthings, pile it on and treat yo' self. Exquiste Kiki de Montparnasse lingerie? Entirely impractical sky-high Charlotte Olympia's covered in felt hearts? Even a new tube of lush red lipstick can do the trick. Whatever you've been dying to indulge in, by all means—we insist.
