Perhaps best of all, these bags are woven by incredibly talented women working within a Fair Trade program in Bangladesh. We love carrying this line in the shop and out on the town. (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $39)Meaghan: Diamond studs are a cannot-go-wrong option for Valentine's Day. We have two pairs featured in our showroom right now, each of which would make for a breathtaking gift to celebrate your love.

We brought back this bestseller from LillaP and it is perfect for all of your spring and summer needs. Wear over a simple tank with denim or over a dress for a trendy look. (Available at Kiskadee, $185)Ali: You will adore this FRAME sweater. Let’s first state the obvious: it’s a beautiful Calvary red, perfect for Valentine's Day. Sweaters can sometimes make us look bulky, especially if you’re self conscious of your arms, but not this one! The black and white stripe on the shoulders, the cropped bottom, and the balloon sleeves with the cinched cuffs are incredible additions that create a very slimming effect! (Available at TSALT, $350)Angela: Surratt Auto-Graphique Eyeliner is a dream, a refillable liquid eyeliner with a Japanese calligraphy-inspired brush tip that precisely lines your eyes. The smooth, sumi ink-inspired formula is buildable and non-pilling for artful lines with an enduring finish. And like a calligraphy pen, this well-constructed brush is designed to outlast the ink cartridge inside. Refillable ink cartridges are just $15. If you’ve never felt comfortable with liquid liner before, this pen will change all that! (Available at Bellacara, $42)Elizabeth: Since Valentine's Day this week, how could we not feature one of our heart items?! A limited edition of one of our most popular clutches, the sweet Clic Clac Clutch by Jerome Dreyfuss is the perfect accessory for the holiday. (Available at The Shoe Hive, $260)
