Dream Date Nights with Bettina Looney

Date Night 01:

My husband absolutely loves cooking, so one of our favourite date nights is enjoying one of his delicious meals at home. I love the aesthetic part of things so I really enjoy setting a beautiful table and making it special for the two of us to enjoy. For a date night at home, I would wear the Round Coco Chanel clip-on earrings. Anyone that knows me knows I always have on some sort of vintage gold jewellery, I don’t go a day without it! 

Date Night 02:

Another fun date night would be an evening out to dinner at one of our favourite spots in London, Rita’s.  For a night out in the city I would definitely dress up a bit more and wear these sparkly Christian Dior earrings, paired with this gorgeous red Chanel satin bag.

Date Night 03:

This one is a little bit different than your typical "date night" and something we are doing a lot more now as new parents! My perfect Sunday date would be a nice walk to any of the bakeries I have on my list and then to Hyde Park with my favourite boys Santi, Archie and Carlos. Whenever I’m out and about I love a sturdy structured bag that fits a lot, so for this date I would choose the Chanel 1997 icon tote bag. This bag is super chic for a day on the go, but also great to throw tons of baby bits in for Santi. 
 

Date Night 04:

Both of our families are from Miami, so it is a place that we visit quite often. When we are there my perfect date night is sitting somewhere by the beach watching the sun set with a glass of wine. For this more casual date night on the beach, I would carry the Prada orange woven tote.
 

Date Night 05:

My last pick for date night would be drinks at my favourite bar in London. I would pair my outfit with the Louis Vuitton Pomme D’Amour monogram bag and some pearl and gold statement earrings from Chanel.
