PLUS SALMA HAYEK, TOM HANKS AND OTHER STARS SAY SWEET THINGS ABOUT CHOCOLATE

Ohmygod, how cute is this? ELLE Girl’s
For the Love of Shoes Savings Bank
($35, The Bay) is a great Valentine’s
gift for yourself or a friend. Start
socking away those toonies now and
be rich enough to splurge on pricey
heels once the slush disappears.
Ask Team Canada to be your
Valentine and show your
support by donning this red
turtleneck sweater ($65,
The Bay) from Hbc’s Official
Canadian Olympic Apparel.
The clever cut makes you look
as slender and fit as an
Olympian. Well, almost.
Wear your heart on your
nightstand. Use this Sterling Silver
Heart Box (Tiffany & Co., $380) for
stylish storage of your vitamins or,
if you’re lucky, some Tiffany
diamond stud earrings.
Light summer fragrances can be too
citrusy and just plain wrong this
time of year. New Valentino V
Absolu eau de parfum ($90 for 50 ml,
The Bay) layers floral notes of
heliotrope and rose that fuse with
a warm base of cedarwood and
musk for complexity and elegance.

A classic red lipstick like
Revlon’s Superlustrous
Lipstick in Valentine ($9.50
department and drug stores) is
both wonderfully seasonal
and iconically chic. Apply
carefully but without a lipliner
for a soft, modern mouth.
Now that every female we know
owns a black puffer coat, a
Red Bag (Roots, $128) is a
welcome dose of colour. Caution
— adding a red scarf or gloves
may look like seasonal overkill.
Baring some skin this
Valentine’s Day? Spritz
yourself with Sugar
Baby...Pretty Sweet
Shimmer ’n’ Shine Body
Spray ($15, Shoppers Drug
Mart) for glimmery limbs
that smell like candy.
