Valentine’s Day with VS lingerie
Posted by Spaidy in Clothes, Fashion Stylist, Lifestyle on February 12, 2011
For those of us who aren’t all that romantically inclined – or not in the snuggly teddy bears and sappy pet names kind of way, anyway – an occasion like Valentine’s Day does offer up at least one brilliant thing: the excuse to go out and buy some new lingerie, perhaps that’s a little more decadent or sensual than usual. Perusing through the Victoria’s Secret Manhattan flagship yesterday it was the current Valentine’s Day range that seemed to leap off the shelves – in both its eye-catching quality, and resulting sales. While the Valentine’s Day look books can at times come off a little tacky, the collection when viewed in person is better than Tania Braukamper expected and well worth using the Valentine’s Day excuse on.
