Valentine's Day Gift Guide: Mix & Match Stripes

By The Inside Source
January 28, 2011

Despite the frigid temperatures sweeping most of the country at the moment, we can’t help but fantasize about spring’s sunnier, warmer climes—especially after seeing fashion runways show’s like Prada’s, featuring a parade of models dolled up in graphic stripes in a multitude of bright, perfect-for-the-tropics hues. Here, we’ve corralled an assortment of our favorite, giftable, happiness-inducing striped fashion trends for her to use both now and later. Check out these Valentine's Day gift ideas and the rest of the assortment on eBay, where online auction listings of items with the term "stripe" in the Clothing, Shoes and Accessories category are up 11 percent in the past month compared to approximately one year prior.

Striped Rubber Rain Boots

Ceramic Multi-Color Stripe Lamp

Stripe Modern Pillow

Large Striped Scarf

Valentine's Day Gift Guide: Mix & Match Stripes

1. Chunky Plastic Stripe Bangle Chunky, retro-style bangles are another big fashion trend for spring 2011. Wear them stacked up to your elbows.

2. Multi-Stripe Wool Sweater The navy-and-white striped tops of recent seasons get an update with multi-colors anchored by basic black.

3. Striped Rubber Rain Boots Bright rubber boots will give her something to smile about on the next drearily rainy day.

4. Stripe Dinner Plate A crazy colorful dinner plate stands on its own as artwork.

5. Striped Long Gloves These extra-long woolly gloves are sure to keep her that much more cozy on a chilly winter’s day.

6. Ceramic Multi-Color Stripe Lamp This striped lamp blends crafty and mod.

7. Stripe Modern Pillow Throw pillows are a great (and easy-to-modify) way to keep up with interior design trends—much less expensive than reupholstering your whole couch.

8. Large Striped Scarf With its oversize proportions, this scarf works equally well draped over shoulders as a shawl.

Wow! This is such a cool valentine's day gift guide. I love the striped pieces especially the bangles and scarf. It's so bright and colorful which is everything I fantasize about wearing this spring. My boyfriend has no clue on what to get me so I might just email this post to him.
