Valentine’s Day yesterday didn’t just give us goosebumps with all the love notes, roses, and chocolates floating around. It also brought billboards, grand romantic gestures, and every manner of celebration filling up our timelines. But beyond all that sweetness, it gave us something else we absolutely loved: style inspiration that had us glued to our screens and frantically pulling out our red and white fashion moodboards. Celebrities stepped out and showed us exactly how to dress for the day of love. Red was everywhere—romantic, bold, and impossible to look away from. White brought something softer and sweeter to the mix.…

Scotland travel to Cardiff as hot favourites, but without three players from the Calcutta Cup. Victory has come at a cost. Jack Dempsey, belligerence on legs, Jamie Ritchie, a warrior in his 40 minutes, and Jamie Dobie, class in every area after a rough experience in Rome, are not going to make it to Wales.Dempsey and Ritchie might not be seen again in the championship. Townsend could have done without those blows, but he’s used to the carnage of Six Nations rugby. He also has decent deputies in store for the trip to the Principality Stadium. One win must become…
