How To Wear Your Favorite Valentine-Worthy Baubles…

by Alyssa Surrett

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, there’s no time like the present to give or to get a piece of jewelry with a little extra shine. Whether you’re in a serious relationship or looking to find love in a hopeless place, embrace the season with an outfit-making accessory that’s sure to remain in rotation long after February 14 has come and gone. To prove our point, we've teamed up with Swarovski to style three trophy accessories for now and for later.

For dinner with your partner or your BFF, try a chic heart-shaped necklace with a simple cocktail dress, a statement-making clutch, and gold heels. Then, when the travel bug strikes this spring, don the same necklace with coordinating linen separates and a straw tote bag on the beaches of Santa Monica or St. Lucia. If you want to subtly play up the color palette of the holiday, try a pink crystal-encrusted bracelet and fun furry sandals to punctuate an all-black ensemble. Later on, wear the bracelet to dress up a denim look for anything from date night to a day in the office. No matter how you style these pieces, we think you'll agree that every day is better with a bit of sparkle.
