Now listen up, darlings. You DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT have to have a Valentine for February 14 in order to have a fabulous day. Does anyone ever watch “The Secret Life of the American Teenager?” I’ve gotten hooked on the show with my daughters although it’s really taking a downhill spiral. As of late, they have a campaign for the young ladies to…ahem…”take care of themselves” and it’s called Just Say Me. So darlings…I propose that you just say you for Valentine’s Day, buy yourself a wonderful gift and call it a day. After all, the next day is the 15th and it’s all over.

That’s where the Wickedly Chic 2010 Valentine’s Gift Guide comes in. Full of some of the most amazing indie shops on the planet, you’re sure to find something that will make this holiday your happiest ever. Oh…and if you do have a Valentine, then you’ll want to send them over to pick out your special gift.

How about this awesome silver link chain with fun beads & coins? For just $22, you can afford more than one piece of jewelry from Manhattan-based shop, All the Rage Online.

I’m a sucker for amethyst & thought these beautiful earrings were pretty nifty & I want them! These are from A Pretty Rock.

Because it’s important to be pampered, don’t miss Soap Hope. This is a very unique shop because 100% of their profits are donated to programs to help underprivileged women. AND the product lines that they carry are organic & natural. PLUS their prices are great! I want this all-natural facial cream (Italian Red Mandarin with Rose) from Pangea Organics.

frame the [date] is a wonderful shop for customized frames which make great gifts. Now think about your parents or any other relative that would appreciate a gift that lasts forever.

Finally, I have to mention Early to Bed. Uh oh darlings…this is a naughty girl shop. Everything that you could ever want is in here and you can completely trust that your package will come in a plain brown wrapper and your neighbors and postal worker will never be the wiser as to what a vixen you really are.

Enjoy the season of hearts! Until next time,
