Ok, I’ve left it really late to post this one…my bad- the days are all kind of merging in to one at the moment, but as it’s only half way through Valenties Day I’m posting regardless.

Whether the object of your affection choses to celebrate it or not, us ladies like to feel special on Valentine’s Day. Having recently seen that one of my favourite online fashion brands, Goddiva, have released a Valentines dress range. I felt inspired to find a dress for each given Valentine’s Day scenario. So, here are some great Valentines dress ideas that will get you the attention you deserve this year.

Firstly, if you have pegged yourself a date on Valentine’s Day and the fella actually turns up you are already onto a winner. Any man brave enough to take a women out for the first time on this romantic holiday is clearly ‘that into you!’ That said, you don’t want to give off the wrong signals by revealing too much on your first date. Here are my top two first date valentines outfit choices:

If you want to go with a classic red dress on your Valentine’s Day first date, stick to darker burgundy tones like this wine colour Valentines dress (left). This will express more allure and elegance rather than brighter reds which can be a little too strong for the earlier stages of a blossoming relationship. Black mesh is also great for a first date. You can show off your chest and legs without coming across as inappropriate. I love this polka dot mesh evening dress. I’ve also suggested some cute accessories including this love heart bangle which would look great with the red number and diamante black velvet clutch bag that would look amazing with the mesh dress.

Having been with my gorgeous boyfriend Ben for almost a year now I have to say we are still pretty fresh. However, as it is our first Valentine ’s Day together I certainly want to look my best! You can afford to be a little more risky but try to dress appropriately for where you are going on your date. If it’s a posh restaurant then keep it elegant and sensual but if you are going out dancing then go for it with a sassy short dress or two-piece. They always say that you should only show your cleavage or your legs, never both. For me it is always about the legs so these are a few of my favourites.

I love the pearl detail on the first red party dress. There is also a vintage feel about this one that I like and would probably wear a white faux fur shrug with this one. The Kim Kardashian inspired evening dress in the middle is stunning. The swooped lace is really flattering and the teasing glimpses of skin from the red lace will certainly help spice up your evening with your man. I’ve written previously about the tartan trend and I say, why not bring it into Valentine’s Day with this red tartan top and pencil skirt?

If you are painting the town red with your single gal pals on Valentine’s Day this year, then feeling confident and getting noticed is probably your number one priority. Here are some attention grabbing dresses that are sure to get the lads hearts pumping:

When it comes to confidence you can’t go wrong with this red and black bodycon dress, I have included some matching red and black heels that will finish this Valentines outfit off nicely. If you want to shine then this off-the-shoulder metallic party dress is certain to turn heads. You can also sparkle from your toes upwards with these black sequin shoe boots.

I hope my post helped inspire your Valentines outfit and I look forward to sharing my own Valentines dress choice very soon! Have a lovely time and stay loved up, I know I plan too.
