Valentine’s day is one of my FAVORITE holidays of the year and I am sure it’s the same for many lingerie brands all over the world. The entire theme fills a gals romantic heart with joy and nothing is more exciting than spending that special day with that special someone. Hell, I even enjoy Valentine’s day when I am single as I make it a tradition to go to my local Agent Provocateur to gift myself something sexy because in the end the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself right? Exactly. As a lingerie addict, I understand the importance of under garments and the effect it can have on one’s self esteem. The same way a man feels in a suit is the same way women feel in lingerie and a suit to a woman is what lingerie is to a man. Make sense? Ok, cool. Moving along.. My point is, lingerie is the sh*t and you should wear it often if not for your partner then for yourself.

Now let’s get to talking about comfort. You do not have to do the whole shebang. You do not have to do the stockings, the garters, and the pasties. I personally love everything and anything but for you it may be different. You may prefer a sheer baby doll slip over a set, a high-waisted brief over a thong, or a corset over a bra. The great thing about lingerie is that  it caters to every body type and comfort offering a variety of shapes and styles that suit you best. You just have to do a little shopping research to find pieces that suit your taste and price range. I like browsing through shops like Journelle and Faire Frou Frou because they introduce me to different brands from all over the world but I also have my specific favorite brands like Agent Provocateur, What Katie Did, Secrets in Lace, Playful Promises, and more that are my go-to’s. Anyway, so whilst browsing for some things to gift myself this Valentine’s day, I came across some great valentines pieces I wanted to share with some of you ladies out there who are looking for something HOT this Valentine’s day. Check it out inside!

Ok so I am very much aware that Agent Provocateur is expensive but if you are a lingerie addict like myself who will probably spend a little more, these are my FAVORITE selections you should get your hands on for Valentine’s day.The Brittnie Set is a show stopper and reminds me of AP’s Shazaam set they used to produce in a number of neon colors. I like that this set has a touch of purple for a cool contrast. Neon looks great on girls who have a more tanned skin tone too!

The Whitney Set is incredible. I bought this set for myself on my birthday last year and GOD is it one of my favorites of my personal collection. If you want his eyes to pop out of his head the minute he takes your clothes off, go with this set. I like wearing the bra under a tank top or a low V-neckline cut dress.

This Cendrillon Set is another show stopper because the peek-a-boo brief is like a gift he will want to unwrap. I love the demi cup bra too because you can wear pasties or nothing at all! Such a fun ensemble. I own this set and the only con of it is that it doesn’t have any stretch so make sure you try it before you buy it ladies!

The Love Set in Peach is a classic only they used to only make it in ivory, black, and red. I am SO happy they now have it in this elegant peach color. Such an elegant set for the classic woman in you.

The Birthday Suit set is amazing even if it isn’t your birthday haha. This is like the perfect Valentine’s day set that will have him seeing hearts and have him feeling like it’s actually his birthday..And the best part is….
It also comes in a playsuit!  Who doesn’t love a playsuit and pasties? Blow out the candles and show him that cake, cake, cake, cake, cake!How glamorous is the Gloria Basque and thong set?! Beautifully executed lace and what a wonderful color for Valentine’s day!

You can also get naughty with the Agent Provocateur Charades game! Ever played charades in your bedroom?

Love Agent Provocateur but are a little uncomfortable with the prices? Don’t worry, I have you covered. Journelle now offers Agent Provocateur’s less expensive line of lingerie called L’Agent and some of their pieces are to die for!Love this Esthar lace set! Agent Provocateur is known for experimenting with lace and I love how they were able to creatively place hearts on the nips of this balcony bra, garter, and brief!
Agent Provocateur used to have a set called Nikita that was so brilliantly done. It was the best push up demi cup bra ever that made even A cups look like B’s. Now they have the Danita set that is almost exactly the same and at a lower price range which is really awesome. It comes in violet and red and is soooo sexy.

Dita Von Teese knows lingerie like nobody’s business so it’s no surprise that she is now designing lingerie. Von Follies by Dita Von Teese was inspired by Dita’s long-time love of lingerie and her own personal collection of vintage lingerie. It resembles the creativity and decadence of the 40′s and 50′s.
I am particularly enamored by the Von Follies by Dita Von Teese dress and would totally wear this OUT of the bedroom. It comes in black too but I think red would be more fitting for Valentine’s day. Something like this for a date would reassure you a second date EASY.

I recently found out about Claudette when I visited my favorite lingerie shop called Kaori’s Closet back in New York. I fell in LOVE with a camouflage set they had there and bought two of everything. Not even kidding. I love this set so much. It is the first time I have ever seen a camouflage bra and panty set so wonderfully executed. Its comfortable, sexy, unique, and reasonably priced. What more could a girl ask for?

The Claudette Camo bra and thong is like my go-to bra and panty set I love to wear with my more sporty clothes.

But pair the Claudette Camo set with these Leg Avenue Neon high highs for Valentine’s day and watch his heart skip a beat!What Katie Did is my go-to for classic retro pieces many of us Pinup girls love and adore. If you want lingerie that resembles the 1940′s and 50′s to the T, you go with WKD.

Right now, my favorite set on their website is the What Katie Did Marlene set in RED. Some guys have a bullet bra fetish, and this is the perfect vintage inspired set that will turn him into a “Mad Man”.

Secrets in Lace is one of my favorite lingerie brands because I love the fit, comfort, and sexiness of their pieces. I also love and wear their stockings 24/7 because they last me the longest of every brand I have ever wore. My favorite collection is their Bettie Page Collection that features a variety of styles you can mix and match to your personal taste. Below are some of my favorites.

I LOVE the Bettie Leopard sets by Secrets in Lace and they come in awesome colors like red, purple, and pink and in a variety of styles too! Love the bullet bra and frilly garter belt of this set and..…this sexy girdle skirt too!
Another favorite of mine is this Bettie Blue set. I own it in pink and I absolutely love the comfort, fit, and sex appeal!Though I don’t particularly agree with the name because I do not think lingerie is trashy at all nor does it make a woman trashy to wear it but…Trashy.com has a few cute and comfortable styles I really like for Valentine’s day like..

The Stepford Edy set! I think this set is adorable and it has a cute apron you can wear it with!
The Stepford button set is also pretty cute if you want to go for a more comfortable retro look on Vday!

Another comfortable set would be the Cabbow Camisole set! Love the sex appeal of the off-the-shoulder straps and sheer heart lace.Playful Promises is also one of my FAVORITE brands for lingerie and they are always coming up with unique retro designs that make me swoooon. I have many of their pieces and I love that they have reasonably priced high quality pieces that make any and every woman look and feel sexy. Some styles they have right now are amazing for Vday so check em out below.

This Ruby Red set is amazing and super fun if you like the idea of wearing pasties. Be still my Burlesque beating heart!

You could break a few hearts in this Heart Breaker soft cup bra and panty set! Comfortable and sexy!

Last but not least is the Nancy Neon Pink set which I absolutely love! Such a great color for a black lace contrast! This one is for pre-order but I’d wear this on any regular day!

I hope my picks are perfect for your special day! Now get to shopping ladies and gents!

XOXO
