Fashion folks on V-Day

MANILA, Philippines - Where will you be on V-Day? Singles tend to contest the validity of the less-than-hallowed holiday, but as a recent episode of Parks & Recreation demonstrated, Valentine’s isn’t just for couples and corporate juggernauts like Hallmark: there’s always Galentine’s Day, a fete for girlfriends to celebrate each other. Imagine: non-bitter singles with better things to do than bemoan their status. Bridget Jones might never have been written.

Whether you honor the day or spend it in sweats munching on Cheetos, spend it with someone (or something) you love: your dog, your latest designer purchase or your current amour.

In the spirit of holiday, YStyle surveyed our favorite fashion folks — single and attached — on their plans for the most festive of working holidays.
