Lingerie to linger over

Feb 9 2008 by Hannah Davies, The Journal

We bring you some lingerie bound to set pulses racing, beauty gifts for some well-deserved pampering and discover why diamonds are still a girl’s best friend.

LASHINGS of red lipstick and sexy hair can give your inner vamp some va-va voom. But nothing beats what’s lurking beneath your clothes to give your love life a super-charged boost. Make this Valentine’s Day a night to remember by injecting some X-factor into your lingerie drawer.

Unlike Victoria Beckham, who reportedly spent thousands of pounds in a single spree at US boutique Victoria’s Secret, you don’t have to break the bank for feel-good sexy undies.

We reveal the best buys that should send your other half’s pulse racing on February 14. For one night only you can forsake your comfy daily undies for lingerie with the phwoar factor and be both sexy and stylish this Valentine’s Day.

If he can’t resist classic red go for La Senza’s boudoir-esque Regency red silk bra, £35, and short, £14.

For sexy secretary with a twist, check out La Senza’s pinstripe ruffle and lace bra, £20, thong, £10, and short suspender, £14.

If you feel at your sexiest in soft pastels, look to Triumph’s pink satin and lace bra, £45, suspenders, £39, and g-string, £22.
