February 4, 2011   |   21 Comments

WIth Valentine’s Day just 10 days away, it’s time to get serious if you haven’t prepared anything yet for your Lady Love. From the inexpensive to the indulgent, from the functional to the frivolous, here are 10 picks for her.

Goldheart Celestial Duet Diamond Pendant
Every woman loves jewellery (really, no argument there), and rather than spending on sterling silver pieces that will tarnish eventually anyway, why not check out the Goldheart Celestial Duet Diamond Pendant, an interlocking pair of hearts in white and rose gold with a single brilliant Celestial diamond. From SGD498, available at all Goldheart boutiques island wide.

Dior Ultimate Zipped Pouch
Looks like Monogram Vernis, but not quite. From Dior comes the Ultimate zipped pouch in luscious Coral that measures 17 cm across by 10 cm. Great for cosmetics and other knick knacks, it is also available in Purple and retails for SGD720 apiece at Dior ION Orchard, Ngee Ann City and Marina Bay Sands.

Louis Vuitton Pretty Charms Key Holder
Truly frivolous is the Louis Vuitton Pretty Charms Key Holder, whose only duty in life is to hang around and look pretty. She could hang it off her Speedy, or use it as a key ring; either way it will be the prettiest thing she’ll own for some time to come. Retailing for GBP200, get it from Louis Vuitton ION Orchard or Ngee Ann City. Or check out the Louis Vuitton Legende Key Holder which retails for SGD350.

Prada Hearts iPhone Sleeve
Prada already had a bestseller with the original iPhone case, so for Valentine’s Day someone decided to throw on some cutesy hearts, change the plaque to red and charge SGD320 for it. Still, if your girl is a true Prada fanatic, you really can’t go wrong with this sleeve that’s actually also functional as well.

DVF Kiss My iPhone Cover
If you looking for something that’s more affordable, then check out the DVF Kiss My iPhone Cover, which comes in 2 different colours. Made of plastic, choose from Pink or Black. Best thing, they only cost SGD50 each so you’ll have enough left over for flowers and chocolates. Available at DVF ION Orchard.

Loewe Shell Coin Purse
Affectionately referred to by yours truly as the ‘dumpling’, the Loewe Shell Coin Purse is a little bundle of nappa leather joy, great for loose change and other bits. Available in a myriad of other colours besides Pink (shown above), each also comes with its own little tassel pull. In a word? Cute. Get it from Loewe Ngee Ann City or Isetan Scotts, where it retails for SGD390 a pop.

Nixon Time Teller P Watch
If her watch is looking a tad old and needs a replacement, why not check out the Nixon Time Teller P Watch? One of the hippest brands in town at the moment, it’s pretty (loving this shade of Lavender), is water resistant and retails for GBP55 at Net-A-Porter. Or check them out at TANGS Orchard.

Hermès Twilly
As famous as the iconic Birkin is the Hermès Twilly, an extremely versatile piece of silk well worth its SGD210 asking price. She can twirl it around her wrist and turn it into a bracelet, tie it around her head as a bandeau, or even liven up a clutch by turning it into a shoulder strap. The sky’s the limit as far as the Twilly is concerned, as are the designs/colours available. And seriously, which girl wouldn’t love a gift that comes in the orange Hermès box?

Miu Miu Ruffle Patent Leather Wallet
It has ruffles, it comes in patent leather and it is from Miu Miu’s Valentine’s Day collection. And if that’s still not enough, the colours it comes in (Red, Blue and White) are also the national colours of France, from which comes Paris, the city of love. Surely that’s more than enough reason to spend the SGD680 it will take to bring this home to her.

Alaïa Leather iPad Case
iPad cases made specifically for the fairer sex aren’t often easy to find, and too often they come in colours and materials more suited for the boys. Introducing the Alaïa Leather iPad Case from Net-A-Porter (GBP400) that’s laser-cut, featuring a recurring motif that pays homage to Alaïa’s Tunisian heritage. Plus, it’s pretty too.
