Valentine's Day is right around the corner so I presented this scenario: Per your honey, you must get dressed up for a chi-chi dinner. It's a night of love so I told you to look for sophisticated reds and pinks.

I started you off with this Tiffany Somerset Heart Ring ($175), because it hints at love. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by maria212134 is a quintessential Valentine's Day look. The red dress immediately conjures up images of love.

The former designers of Trovata debuted their first collection for Shipley & Palmos at New York Fashion Week, and I for one was impressed.

Highly wearable and modern, these well-tailored pieces feel fresh. At a time when so many designers don't know when to simplify their creations — I'm looking at you Project Runway contenders! — these designs, for men and women, seem just right.

Smart jackets, tulip skirts, and everyday blouses walked through a surreal door stage. A couple colors, plum and canary yellow, provided some pop, while an ivory and black paisley print was whimsy. The simple dresses were the perfect backdrop for some standout jewels. I'm keeping my eyes on these California boys . . .

Every now and again an all-black outfit appears that rouses the senses more than a colorful one does. Kate Hudson had that effect on me in her black dress with thumb holes, double-breasted blazer, tights, and black pumps. Her blonde hair and hoop earrings are the perfect contrast to her look. If you're in the mood for all black, copy Kate!

As I reported back in August, Imitation of Christ designer Tara Subkoff just debuted an exclusive line for Bebe, kicking off the company's initiative to collaborate with designers.

The capsule collection is in stores now, and for those of you looking to get romantic come Valentine's Day, it's perfect. The color palette is red, black, and white, with an accenting heart print and quilted heart bag. All you last minute Valentiners out there — you know who you are — get yourselves to a store or Bebe.com, where the line is retailing $59-$189.

P.S. Tara's pal Chloe Sevigny is already a fan — she was spotted wearing a red ruffled heart print dress from the line just a couple of days ago.

Teddy

Decorative lingerie with an all-in-one camisole-like top and tap panty. Unlike a bodysuit, it is typically looser and more sheer, and may be designed to slip off from the shoulders, rather than to open at the crotch. The teddy is normally worn for the seductive look, rather than practical reasons.

This Valentine's Day, entice your lovah with this Victoria's Secret Peek-a-Boo Teddy ($48).
