Too often wallets get overlooked, even when they live inside high-end designer bags.

Designers such as Louis Vuitton and Chanel offer option that slip inside your suitcase or day-to-day tote.
Right-hand rings: The left ring finger might be reserved for displays of commitment, but the left is all about independence and fashion. Instead of waiting for him to put a ring on it, do it yourself with a classic diamond, a beautiful gemstone or a trendy cigar band ring.

Instead, give yourself a beautiful makeup case, that’s still small enough to slip inside your daily tote, from designers like Hermes or Gucci. You favorite lipstick will look even more luxe when you pull it out of a fabulous case.
Statement earrings: Dramatic earrings are this seasons must-have accessories. But, beyond pearl and diamond studs, they are likely candidates for Valentine gift from your sweetie. Instead of crossing your fingers and hoping, pick up a pair of fashionable hoops, chandeliers or gemstones.
Card cases: Every professional woman needs a stack of business cards within easy reach. Rather than fumbling for a bunch of paper-clipped cards in the dark recesses of your bag, give them a home as fashionable as the rest of your wardrobe. Luxury card cases are sure to make an impression every time you pull them out, and they are the perfect way to show that you love your work and yourself.
