They are the words no one wants to hear on Valentine’s Day: “If you really loved me, you would have…” Whether you are the woo-er or woo-ee, there is a lot of pressure to make sure your day is as near perfect as it can be.

Thankfully, there are a ton of package deals available throughout the city even for the last minute romantic.

This preserves the fresh and fruity flavors of the Prosecco Grape that make this such a refreshing wine.

Last night, superstar singer Sean Kingston reveled in his 21st birthday party at Tryst Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas with an entourage of friends and family. A much slimmer Kingston walked the carpet, telling reporters he is down 35 pounds thanks to an intense workout plan. Blinged out for the celebration, he was sporting an impeccable diamond-encrusted Bentley logo gold chain, a dazzling platinum diamond watch, a gold diamond bracelet and multiple carat diamond earrings.

I spoke with Stephanie Maslansky the Costume Designer for "White Collar" about Neal's style: Q: How would you describe Neal Caffrey's Style? SM: Neal's look is rooted in the Rat Pack Era of the mid 1950s to '60's. Icons of charismatic cool–Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra , and Sammy Davis Jr, adopted the look. Their appeal was a particular brand of charm and wit–an overall attitude reflected by a new approach to style presenting a fresh, slimmer silhouette. Today the attitude and silhouette have been refined for modern times.
