Flavor of the Week. Bringing you the latest updates in fashion. Guiding you out of bed and into the latest trends. Whether on campus or out for the night, you'll be in style. I'll give you fashion tips to add a little flavor to your wardrobe.

This Week's Lust
Girls - Not only does red look ravishing this Valentine's Day, but so does hot pink! Betsey Johnson gets flirty and sexy, all in one dress. Try the "Babydoll Battenburg Dress," in hot pink. Not a red or a hot pink kind of gal? Does hearing "Valentine's Day" just make you want to puke? Having an anti-valentine party with the girls doesn't mean you have to miss out on all the fun of dressing up! Try a classic black, form-fitting dress with your favorite pumps and call it a night. The Betsey Johnson "Evening Isabel" dress is absolutely breathtaking, and if you decide you want to wear red, pair it with red accessories and pumps.

Guys - Not only do girls know how to rock hot pink, but so do guys, and it looks rather handsome on them for Valentine's day! Instead of going with a pink polo shirt, expand your boundaries by trying a hot pink shirt under your blazer. You will really woo the ladies with this one!

This Week's Must
Girls - Make yourself an easy target for Cupid by wearing a bright red dress. A nice and classy dress that shows off legs is perfectly sophisticated for Valentine's Day. Betsey Johnson's "Sexy Charmeuse Halter dress" does just that, and is on sale just in time for Valentine's Day. Pair it with leopard pumps like the ones mentioned in last week's column for wild-Valentine style. If you are more of the "classy yet sassy" girl and like the classic Audrey Hepburn style, go with Nordstrom's "La Dolce Vita" eyelet dress by Nanette Lepore. Pair it with black pumps, and there's no doubt you will look breathtaking. If you are a trendsetter with a tight budget, that does not mean you have to limit yourself. Check out Charlotte Russe for affordable red dresses, black accessories and pumps. Have fun with your style for a low price!

Guys - Planning on taking your valentine on a date? Woo the ladies in a classic pink polo shirt. To maintain a classy image, pair it with a blazer and top it off with a matching pink handkerchief to put in your blazer pocket. Now we're talking! This is a style even the 12th Man would be sure to stand for! Once you have got this on the ladies don't care if you wear those old boots and jeans, you will still be looking snazzy!
