Valentine's Date No. 5: Together Forever

When you’ve been with your true love for many, many years, it can become hard to keep things new and fresh. But that doesn’t mean that you love each other any less than you did the very first time you went on a date. Revive the romance this Valentine’s Day with a heartfelt, intimate date together to focus on all the reasons you fell in love so long ago.

What to wear? Ladies, take a walk on the wild side in this hip and modern dress by DKNY from the Peters  (pictured). The black, deep-cut, cross-body neckline will show off your curves in all the right ways and the bold magenta, black and electric blue leopard print pattern will have his heart racing.

Pair the dress with feminine, rosette-topped black suede wedges by Bandolino. The heel height is just right to give you that added lift without breaking your ankles. And men, it never hurts to show off your sensitive side with this light pink button down shirt by LAUREN by Ralph Lauren. It will really pop underneath the masculine cowl neck steel blue sweater by Joseph Abboud. Though age-appropriate, this look will have you looking young and oh-so-cool.

Where to dine? Located in the McMurray Shoppes, Franco’s Trattoria is one of two locations in the south suburbs of Pittsburgh (the original in Dormont). This family-owned-and-operated fine, Italian restaurant is romantic and intimate. Daily, Franco’s features a drink, entrée and dessert special, so even if you’ve been to Franco’s before, you can enjoy something totally new on this special date.

Franco’s is famous for its thinly sliced, lightly-breaded fried zucchini, an appetizer favorite that can be ordered to accommodate two. The meatballs are another popular appetizer choice to share, as you can order as many or as few as you and your sweetheart would like to try. But with all the amazing menu selections, you won’t be the only couple wanting a table at Franco’s this Valentine’s Day, so the staff recommends you make dinner reservations in advance.

What to do? Surprise your lady with a memorable moment keepsake she’ll never forget -- a Pandora bracelet from Delightfully Different. As the only licensed Pandora dealer in Peters, Delightfully Different’s staff is highly knowledgeable about this breathtaking jewelry keepsake, a modern take on charm bracelets, to signify special memories throughout the path of life.

Pandora has charms to represent just about everything, from new babies, birthstones, vacations, holidays, birthdays, Valentine's and more. We suggest starting off with the bracelet and an elegant charm, such as the Key to My Heart charm, a heart-shaped lock with a dangling silver key -- to truly say what’s in your heart. It’s something she will cherish forever, as you cherish her.
