DVF's Obama 08 Love Tote Bag

Diane Von Furstenberg's Obama 08 Love Tote Bag may just be the perfect Valentine for a socially conscious, fashionably savvy young lady. At $75, it's not exactly cheap, but you could rationalize this purchase by saying that you're getting 3 gifts in one: something designer (DVF), something eco (it's reusable) and something patriotic (the tote reads "Obama 08, hope, change.") A great value, after all!

Shop it: Diane Von Furstenberg's Obama 08 Love Tote Bag, $75 at the official Barack Obama Online Store (store.barackobama.com)

Love It or Leave It: Katie's Lavender Lids

Katie Holmes seems to be looking ahead to spring. The actress dusted her eyelids in a pale lavender eyeshadow for last week’s U.K. premiere of Valkyrie. Depending on your complexion and eye color, I think this hue could actually produce some beautiful results. If nothing else, a colorful punch of purple might help take your mind off the weather (should you happen to live in a cold locale.) Achieve a similar look with elf's Brightening Eye Color in Silver Lining, just $1 at eyeslipsface.com.
