Valentine’s Day is just round the corner which means so is the unnecessary pressure of finding a date. It’s not like you’re overly fussed about the date itself – but you wouldn’t mind saving face, or even just looking busy on Insta when it seems the majority of your feed is swimming in snaps of ‘the boy did good’.

Calling out to all solo flyers, there are plenty of reasons to enjoy Valentine’s Day when you’re not coupled up – and they have sweet FA to do with flowers…

1. Your bank account won’t take a hit, which means you can spend your money on someone who is more than worth it. YOU.

Single or in a relationship this Valentine’s Day, here at boohoo we don’t need a boy or a dedicated day to treat ourselves. Justin Bieber is right, you SHOULD go and love yourself… Whether you’re  being wined and dined or out with your girl squad it really is time to forget the flowers and chocolate.

OK, so it’s no secret I’m single. In fact to steal quote Bridget Jones, I’m an actual love pariah. As I have nobody to receive a gift from, I’m hoping Saint Valentine will take pity on my sassy single ass and bring be someone to (Netflix and) Chill with. There’s only one dude for me RN and that’s Tattoo Fixer’s Sketch. From his sexy South London accent to his mad inking skills, the man is delicious. I am actually considering apply for a cover up so I can drool over him IRL.

I’ll be getting myself the boohoo heart placement tee that I’d wear tucked into skinny high waist jeans and team with a beanie, chunky boots and loads of jewellery for a laid back date with my Sketchy. Yeah OK, he has a wife and a family and I’m no homewrecker, but a girl can dream right?

Oh hey Nineties, we missed you. Of course you’ll flirt with other decades (clever girls keep their options open) but the message is clear: old school RULES OK!

While there’s always room in the wardrobe for a little grunge, the new Nineties trend is more Calvin Klein fresh than Cobain’s unkempt. Think Cool Britannia when everything from models and bands to footballers and artists were given superstar status.

Nothing says new season refresh like an all-white affair. Think clean cuts and minimal accessories to get it right in white. We’ve rounded up some of our fave celeb looks that definitely get it white on the night.

The tailoring trend is nothing new but we’re going for a suit reboot in super smart versions of the styles that you’re already crushin’ on!

Social media fans rejoice – it’s finally here! Instagram this week have released the functionality to switch between accounts. And to celebrate, we’ve pulled together our go-to Insta apps, the filter enhancers we favour and the tools we just can NOT get enough of!

It always seems worth it and then the morning after hits. It’s an obstacle course; from plating up microwavable chips to rolling around on the floor, to holding a pillow over your head, to the phone call you make to your bestie with the need for reassurance that it’s all going to be OK. We get it. We’ve got you covered… Which is why we have exposed our own team tips on how to avoid an epic hangover.

(You’re welcome…)

Despite your recent efforts on tinder, your best Valencia filter and managing to hold your breath long enough to fit into your best skinnies… Christmas is here and you’re STILL single. Which also means so are the Bridget Jones clichés… AND the relatives you never see who suddenly show an interest in your non-existent love life. It’s time to get out that badly photo-shopped pic of you Chris Hemsworth along with the…  ‘He’s perfect Grandma.’

A set up for disaster right? Wrong! I am here to turn the other cheek (reality check please!…)

Being single over the holidays is more than underrated! So girls, no stressin’ over your single stat. This one is yours for the taking. Here’s why…

Blubbing over your cup of tea as you remember all those Little Things? The crinkles by Harry’s eyes when he smiles, the sound of their voices on tape. Don’t feel alone, we’re right there with you!
