Be My Vintage Valentine

By -
Happy Valentine's day. If you're not the type for romantic plans, I hope you at least enjoy some chocolate or the fact that it's Friday. Today, we're taking a stroll through the past fashion of Valentine's day from the cards to the magazine covers to the pin-ups to the advertisements (after all, what's Valentine's day without ads).

Thank you 3.1 Philip Lim! You've appeased my co-desires for wearability and an edge of funk. Love the ruffled sequin tops. Love the layered zips. Love the ruffled shoes. The shoes!!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Anna Sui was fabulous Anna Sui with all the prints and colors and tribal influences. Of course, I'm biased in favor of anything that looks like a hippie-gypsy-pirate. Happy! Happy! Again, the shoes are amazing. Kudos to her also for sending out happy models, because smiling should never be out of fashion.Vera Wang, always one of my favorites, was just as sleek, romantic and modern as I would hope. I always like her neutral palette with occasional splashes of color. She used lots of sheer fabrics in this collection, but it's more ethereal than daring. The shiny details also keep things exciting.

From the front, these unicorn leggings look like painted rocks, but from behind, it's all unicorn. Don't let a little rain dampen the magic with a packable poncho covered in sparkling unicorns.

Wrap yourself in a robe fit for a mythical, magical creature or don some perfect unicorn socks.

Travel in style, unicorn style, with this standout carry-on and some rainbow-colored glasses sure to outdo any ro…
