Thakoon's Fuchsia Fantasy

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Thakoon showed its pink-doused fall 2012 collection at New York Fashion Week on Sunday. Color blocking with fuchsia, hot pink, and red—complete with brightly colored lips—the fiery show featured luxe fabrics like leather, fur, and jacquard.

Mastermind behind the designs Thakoon Panichgul mixed older styles (such as high-waisted pants and inspiration from tuxedo cuts) with modern looks (by way of color and materials) and calls the color scheme a "neon beam."

With a nod from New York Fashion Week, will you be dressed in head-to-toe pink on Valentine's Day?

Guilt-Free Sweets for Valentine's Day

Whether you're heading out to a candlelit dinner with your soul mate or watching weepy, romantic movies on the couch with your fellow single friends, you absolutely can't celebrate Valentine's Day without chocolate. Worried about watching your figure? That's where Sibu Beauty comes in.

This cruelty-free, USDA-certified organic beauty company sells skin, hair, and nail products using the powerful nutrients found in the sea's buckthorn berry. The brand is known for both topical and ingestible beauty items, all chock full of omega-7. Just in time for the holiday of love, Sibu has expanded their line with boxes of chocolate truffles.

You don't have to feel guilty about indulging in these beauty treats, because they all contain the brand's signature buckthorn oil, as well as omega-7. What better way to get your nutrients? You don't have to worry about not liking the flavor, either, as eight of the individually wrapped chocolates are orange-flavored milk chocolate, while the other eight are mint-flavored dark chocolate.

The boxes retail for $19.95 each, and are available on the Sibu Beauty website, along with ingredient listings and nutritional information. There's never been a better way to justify reaching in for just one more.

Guess' Spring Ad Campaign: So Cute!

Remember how I said there weren't any ads that were appropriate for the Valentine's Day season? I think Guess heard me. Even though these ads are for March, the colors are pink, white and red. The model is perfect with her blonde hair, blue eyes, think black eye liner, hot pink lipstick and red nail polish. Her body is slender, but not stick thin, which is a trend Guess has been leaning toward. I have more respect for Guess these days. Sometimes I think they go a little too far with the sexiness, but in this case, the pin up look is completely adorable and enjoyable.
