STYLE

Let's call Valentine's Day what it is—the perfect excuse to buy all things pink, red and heart-shaped. Specifically, we're shopping for accessories. Whether you'll be sporting them at school on Feb. 14 or on any day you're wanting to spread the love, we found 10 accessories that are equal parts cute and Cupid-approved.

1. Claw clip set

Francesca's, $18

Claw clips are our fave mid-week, non-wash-day accessory, but the Valentine szn calls for a festive pop of color.

2. Heart-shaped sunnies

Francesca's, $16

Taking a page from a Harry Styles Love on Tour concert fit, we're giving heart-shaped sunglasses...well...major heart eyes.

3. Earring set

Urban Outfitters, $20

For a subtle (but nonetheless shining) statement, these butterfly earrings are the way to go, whether you mix and match them or keep them in a constant rotation.

4. Red heart socks

Brandy Melville, $5

Whether they're expertly layered with your fave jeans and Air Force 1s or your best-kept secret underneath your Docs, these patterned socks are an instant mood booster.

5. Headband

Francesca's, $18

Channel that Blair Waldorf realness with a chic, bright red headband, and the confidence and class are sure to come too. Now, where can we find Chuck Bass?

6. Heart-shaped purse

Kate Spade, $189

It's good to wear your heart on your sleeve, but even better to wear it on your shoulder while it's filled with all the essentials (and enough money for a little afternoon treat, obvi).

7. Heart ring

Pura Vida, $16

Consider this ring a fun-sized reminder of how love is all around you—and also around your finger.

8. Love tote bag

Etsy, $10

V-Day is the perfect opportunity to break out a new tote (and, hey—we won't tell anyone if you take it with you everywhere through spring, too).

9. Satin hair bow

Urban Outfitters, $12

This satin hair bow is so chic and Pinterest-worthy. All you need is a bouquet of flowers to complete the look!

10. Heart buckle belt

Etsy, $18

When it comes to styling a belt, it's all about the details. Good thing this belt has a heart-shaped buckle *and* heart-shaped holes.
