Fashion: All for love

Trish Peng Orchid dress, from $1500.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so spoil yourself.

Love is in the air with the most romantic day of the year, Valentine's Day, almost on our doorstep. One of the easiest ways to say, "I love you" is with a special gift.

Traditionally, star-crossed lovers have given each other chocolates, heart-felt cards and flowers. But this year, why not up the ante a little and spoil your loved one with a stylish gift of the sartorial variety instead?

Finding the right "something" can be tricky, to say the least. So take the stress out of buying with my chic Valentine's Day gift guide for him and for her.

Put the va-va-voom back into date night with Trish Peng's gorgeous Orchid dress in shocking pink. This strapless dress with sweetheart neckline will knock everyone dead.
I love its dramatic appeal.
