Dooley Noted Style: love is always in style

I'm posting this one early in the month so there is plenty of time to shop and plan for all you valentines. I believe that it's OK to think that Valentines Day is a "hallmark holiday" when your single and OK to think it's a day for romantic gestures from your loved one when your in a relationship. I loathed this day when I was solo and remember always wanting to order a pizza and watch movies like Bridget Jones Diary while polishing off a pint of Haagan Daz then feeling guilty because I had a total calorie fest. Since I have had a plus one I have to admit I do enjoy giving my sweetie a box of sweets (he is a major chocoholic) and making a romantic dinner at home, I can use the holiday to get him to leave work at a normal hour and come home to hang out with his misses. If you are however one of the couples who do go all out for the occasion (hey why not), below are some sweetheart looks to wear out for your plus one along with some sweet gifts and finally some really pretty party ideas to have a fabulous fete at home!
