I love the whole month of February because it represents the beginning of the end for winter.  The other wonderful thing about February is the most passionate holiday of the year falls midway through it.  Ahhh, Valentine’s Day, whether you are single or hitched, it represents such a positively hopeful time for romantic renewal.  If you are single, there is the renewed hope that by the next year, you will find “The One.”  For couples, it is a time to affirm your relationship and celebrate your bond.  And more than Christmas the Valentine’s Gift is a real sign of your significant other’s Love just for you!  So here are our favorites from this year’s Accessories Council Valentine’s Day Event, hosted AC President Karen Giberson and co-hosted by one of my favorite people, Jene Luciani, hostess, on-air personality and author of “The Bra Book.”

Add a little ’80s punk to your chicer outfits with this adorable black studded bag.

2. Caravelle by Bulova Watches (see above)

I love men’s watches on women as they make a bold chunky statement.  This one is a perfect gift for your guy or if you are single, get it for yourself!  Best of all, the price points are all under $100.

3. Lily Socks by Soxxy

I am always fond of brands that give back. These socks are pink perfection and designed to not slip. A percentage of the profits goes to the Lily Sarah Grace Fund, which provides arts education to children in underfunded schools.
