If I Were A Rich (Wo)Man Wishlist - Valentine's Day Lingerie

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm not really a Valentine's Day fan, but I am a fan of lingerie. There's always an abundance of lovely lingerie on sale around Valentine's day. Here are few of my favourites.

They're not all red, I promise.


The Vintage Lingerie Set


Marlene Lingerie Set from What Katie Did


OK, this one is red, but it's not tacky and covered in hearts. The Marlene Lingerie Set from What Katy Did is based on a genuine '50s vintage design. The contrast of lipstick red and peach satin has a luxurious as well as fun feel. Go the whole hog and don a bit of red lipstick and retro curls with this lingerie set.

Priced: Marlene suspender belt £35.50, Marlene knickers £29.50, Marlene bullet bra £39.50


The Corset


Mercy Corset from Agent Provocateur


You don't always have to go for black or red, white lingerie can be just as sexy. The Mercy Corset in (appropriately named) Flesh from Agent Provocateur proves this point.

This corset gives a classic '50s look with the hour glass style. The boning is very flattering and I particularly love the traditional lace up ties at the back.

Priced: £345


The Teddy


Satin and Lace Teddy from Victoria's Secret

The colour is what caught me about this Satin and Lace Teddy from Victoria' Secret. The shade is called Hazy Lavender trimmed with Grace Lace. It's a lovely change from the usual lingerie colour plus it's a flattering shape.

Priced: $58


The Babydoll


Tamsin Lace Babydoll and Briefs from Boux Avenue

This is a very Valentine's Day lingerie set with the red and the lace, but it still manages to be classy. I love the mix of lace and satin in the Tamsin Lace Babydoll and Briefs set from Boux Avenue.

It's a simple set but one that's sweet and sexy.

Priced: £35


That's all folks.

A Whole Lot of Rosie - Loving Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Lingerie Range


Want to be in Rosie's Knickers?

Who wouldn't want to be in Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's knickers? The goddess/freak of nature super model has been collaborating with department store Marks and Spencers for a while now to design her Rosie for Autograph range of underwear, and it just seems to get better and better.

I love a bit of lingerie, as you may have gathered from previous posts, and the Rosie for Autogrph range is one of my favourites. It's got a vintage feel yet it doesn't age; these pieces will always be in style. Here are a few more of the best pieces from the range.

If I Were A Rich Wo(Man): Luxury Lingerie

Sorry this is late, Friday's wishlist has become Saturday's list for this week only.

Today, my dream items are made up of wisps of lace and silk that for some reason cost more than a full outfit.
I love lingerie, but the really beautiful stuff is always very pricey, yet the affordable sets looks like they will set on fire if you get too close to a naked flame.

This week I want to dream, so I've compiled a list of my top luxury lingerie items.

The Classic Corset


Agent Provocateur Black Corset
Demelza Corset - Agent Provocateur

Like the LBD, the little black corset is always a winner. I love this Demelza Corset from Agent Provocateur. The mesh and vertical lines are not only sexy but slimming too!

The Colourful Lingerie Set


Aimee Lingerie Set - Myla

Black and white, and sometimes red, are classic lingerie colours, but I like this blue and nude Aimee set from Myla. It's got a soft, vintage feel

The Aimee bra is £120, the suspender belt is £80 and the thong is £60. All together a very expensive purchase.


The Bridal Lingerie Set


Bridal Lingerie
Love Me Camisole and Brief Set - Bordello London


I say this Love Me camisole and brief set from Bordello London is a bridal set, but why just restrict white lingerie to your wedding day? These lace underwear pieces are beautiful and would make a refreshing change to the everyday bra and knickers.

The camisole is £95 and the brief is £75.


The Camisole


Mia Silk Camisole
Mia Silk Camisole - Ayton Gasson

A camisole is a luxurious piece of lingerie and usually quite flattering, as it can hide a round tummy. This Mia Silk Camisole from Ayton Gasson is in a gorgeous shade of lilac with dusty pink bows. It's 100% silk so you know it's going to be expensive.

There's also a matching pair of Mia Silk Knickers.

The camisole is £76 and the knickers are £39.

That's all for this week. I hope you've enjoyed my silky bits.
