Can you believe that we are already in February? We can't! And with February comes the much loved (literally) Valentine's Day. The perfect occasion to celebrate love and however that might look for you. From spending the day at the beach with your family and friends, sipping cocktails while celebrating your friends or a cute date with your partner, there are so many ways to celebrate the day!
We've rounded up a few of our top picks for places to spend Valentine's Day and what to wear for each occasion.
Auckland
In the mood for a night out in the city? Introducing, our local Saint Alice, in Auckland's stunning viaduct harbour. They've fitted out their space with the best of everything, from a breezy decked area to their function rooms! Click here to see their delish drink and food menu.
The perfect dress for a night like this is the lilac Galaxy Dress from Among The Brave. This gorgeous maxi dress features a stunning tiered skirt and bow tie back, perfect to pair with slides or heels to celebrate with your loved ones.
Wellington
We all know how stunning Oriental Bay is in the heigh of summer, right? So our pick for Wellington sit's perfectly inline with just that. Welcome Coene's Province, situated right on the waterfront in Oriental Bay, the views don't get much better than this. Not to mention their wonderfully unique menu on offer from classic cocktails to something a little different.
The dress we envision at this location is the Lulu Dress from Among The Brave. Our top fav feature is the stunningly sophisticated navy colour, meaning it can be paired with almost any accessory, in any colour. We see this style going beautifully with a neutral set of footwear and handbag, leaving the deep navy to shine.
Christchurch
There are few things that can beat a romantic stroll in the Christchurch Botanical Garden, surrounding by roses of all shades! And located in the heart of the city, you can then wonder on to all the lovely local cafes and food spots. Or, pack your own picnic and bring that along!
And it's only right you match the flowers of the gardens with this cute floral number, the Wondering Dress from IVY + JACK. We're in love with the tie straps, such a sweet detail! Pair this dress with some strappy sandals and a pop of blue handbag and you're ready to hit the road!
Dunedin
Got a date lined up? Because we have the perfect spot to take them, The Press Club. They've thought about every detail possible, the low lighting matched with the high end interior, this is the place to take someone you want to impress. We're also loving the delicious drinks they offer, see their full menu here.
When we think of The Press Club, we think all things Otherworldly Dress. The soft satin fabric sitting effortlessly on all shapes, this piece is the perfect balance between chic and fun.
Nelson
Absolutely nothing can beat a classic winery tour, right? Arm in arm with your love, admiring the rolling hills talking about all things love. And one of the best things about Nelson is the sheer amount of wonderful wineries on offer!
A winery tour can call for many outfits but we see the Isabella Dress as the best option! Straight from IVY + JACK'S new collection, there is so much to love. The pop of pink and tiered skirt is truly a show stopper!
Go and celebrate love (and look absolutely stunning doing it)!
With love,
Flo's Fam xx
