And just in case you were in need of inspiration, we’ve got a few of the most romantic ideas right here…

Vince Camuto ‘Izzi’ Tassel Leather & Suede Crossbody Bag – The crossbody style is huge this Spring, but this lovely little bag, styled very similarly to the cult classic Chloé ‘Marcie’ crossbody bag, is so perfect!

Rebecca Minkoff ‘Regan’ Satchel – If you simply cannot leave the house without 12 pounds of extra odds-n-ends (hey, you never know when you made need a sewing kit, umbrella, mega Sudoku book…), then this beautiful satchel, with its delicate tassel detail, is the one for you.

Marc Jacobs Heart Leather Crossbody Bag – C’mon. It’s a heart. Of course you need this for your Valentine’s Day outfit! Whether you opt for the peachy-pink color or the vibrant red, you will make a romantic statement for sure.

Jessica McClintock ‘Lips’ Clutch – It’s cheeky, playful, and bold. Basically, it’s you. This clutch is an epicly cool fashion statement on any day…but on Cupid’s day it’s just the hint you need to pucker up.

Rebecca Minkoff Heart Fringe Crossbody Bag – This adorable heart fringe crossbody bag is boho chic, and undeniably romantic and flirty. Perfect for a more casual V-Day date night.

Kate Spade New York ‘Clement Street – Blair’ Leather Tote – Ooo-la-la-lovely! How charming and feminine is this? Yep…we thought so too. So, if your outfit channels classic screen sirens like Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, this bag will complete the story.

Alexander McQueen ‘Peony De Manta’ Floral Print Silk Clutch – Silk…florals…delicate curves…what other clutch could celebrate the romance of Valentine’s Day like this stunner from Alexander McQueen? It would add a charming touch and a playful pop of color to any LBD or LBS (the Holy Grail of classic outfits…the little black dress and little black suit).

Rebecca Minkoff ‘Mini Julian’ Fringe Leather Backpack – Another completely sweet and flirty option if your V-Day outfit is a bit more casual. Perhaps it’s a daytime date, or a relaxed evening out with friends…either way, this Minkoff original will carry everything you need while giving a nod to the romance of the day!
