Look, both the weather and the state of the world means that going out on a Monday night is, quite frankly, firmly in the too hard basket.
Home is cosy, home is safe – and home is also where you can dial up the romance to the absolute max – or have an epic night with your best gal pal. Here’s our guide to the best at-home V-Day possible!
WEAR:
me by Bendon You Glow Suspender Belt
It’s kind of hilarious that you add MORE material to make your undergarments sexier but hey, why not. As I mentioned previously in our Valentine’s Day guide to going out, the simple act of a matching set (or even just a bra and undies in the same colour) is a massive achievement. Dial up your flirt (and your confidence levels!) with sexy set from Bendon – and don’t forget the suspender belt for something a little fancy.
Suspender belt $69.95, Undies from $39.95, Bra $74.95
By Natalie Sleepwalker Dress
Comfy AND stylish? We thought it was just a myth but here’s a perfect option for you if you’re staying in and want to feel strong, elegant and chic. Kiwi label by Natalie leads the way on gorgeous yet pragmatic pieces for your loungewear – and this one is going on my personal wishlist!
ENJOY:
Cast Iron Fondue Set
Forget the adage that a way to man’s heart is through his stomach – the way to a woman’s is cheese. Treat yourself and whoever you’re with carbs and cheese – and then replace with chocolate and strawberries for dessert. And don’t worry if you don’t get through all the chocolate sauce… we’re sure there are other uses for it too!
Capital Kitchen Fondue Set, $119.99
Villa Maria Pinot Noir
Romantic nights need good wine – look no further than Villa Maria’s gorgeous single vineyard pinot noir. Don’t let the fact it’s hotter than Hades (the HUMIDITY AM I RIGHT) put you off red wine – pop in the fridge for half an hour or so to slightly chill it down – the optimal serving temperature of this delicious Malborough drop is 15 degrees.
Villa Maria Southern Clays Pinot Noir, $59.99
Moustache Cookie
Cookies are great. Giant cookies are even better. It’s a perfect accompaniment for any occasion – especially if you’re curled up on the couch just enjoying each other’s company!
