1/7

Before you make a booking for a fancy restaurant and wear intricate undergarments in honour of your soulmate, you should first romance the most important person in your life that has never forsaken you. Grab a mirror and wave!

Personally, I am never one for cheesy festivities but I buy into Valentine's Day because I am a strong advocate of pampering yourself. The day is all about love, so it’s important that you take time to say ‘I love you’ to yourself and recognise all the good that you have done. You are the constant force in your life who will always be there to inspire the best in yourself!

From luxurious timepieces to cult status covetable handbags, here are 8 splurge-worthy pieces to spoil yourself with.

Inspired by the world of dance and gymnastics, the ballerina first appeared at Chanel back in 1984.

The collection has always been extensive, and there is a style for every moment in a woman’s life. 

Since then, the ballerina became a staple piece and brings its own variation every season. This classic and chic footwear is a definite must-have for every Chanel loving girl.
