This set of wooden Russian Dolls comes in the 'sweetheart' theme. Decorated in red and white colours, with heart decorations, the dolls are perfect for the sweetheart in your life!

Get glammed up and hit the town! Follow Fearne Cotton's look, from this weeks BAFTAs, with a stunning vintage-look coral dress by Moschino, with a ruched, embellished neckline and a pretty black waist bow. Keep it simple with polished curls and complete the look with a sparkly bangle on each arm.

Valentines Day wouldn’t be complete without a tasty cocktail, why not try the Baileys Heart recipe. You'll need 50ml Baileys; 10ml Raspberry liqueur; and 25ml Grand Marnier. Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake well and strain into a chilled martini glass, serve with whipped cream and a heart-shaped strawberry.  1.5 units of alcoholic loveliness.

Whatever you get up to on V-Day, I hope you have a wonderful time!
