RTW: Lady in Red

You've met Katherine first when she picked out the perfect attire for holiday gatherings (if you missed it, go here and read all about our favorite Neiman Marcus gal). Well, she's back and brimming with fantastic ideas for what to wear on the night that you really, really want to go out with the Mr. or really, really just want to hang out with the girls. Yep, we're talking about Valentine's Day.

Dear Katherine,

What on earth to wear for the most dreadful wonderful night of the year?



1. Whilst red may not be original, it's ALWAYS romantic. For a big night, try some serious structure that will inspire you to carry yourself with an air of confidence.
J. Mendel / Alexander McQueen / Herver Leger

2. Be fun and flirty for a night out on the town with the girls.
Aidan Mattox

3. Keep it all under wraps and spark and air of mystery.
Alice by Temperley

4. The last look should be as good as the first. Pick a dress with a beautiful back to make sure you leave just as gracefully as you entered.

Lovely lace for a feminine, flirty look.
1. Jimmy Choo
2. Valentino Couture

Sexy studs for the modern stilleto. Too tough? Ruffles always win.
3. Valentino Rockstud
4. Lanvin

Shine bright like a diamond. ; )
5. Jimmy Choo
6. Rena Caovilla
