Valentine’s Day is soon approaching. Yes people, the big love day is next week! Can you feel the love oozing from practically wherever you look? Personally I am not one to celebrate Valentine’s Day in a big way, not one to make too much fuss about it, nor expect any big gifts. I prefer the simple approach, an extra special home cooked meal, eaten by candle light… followed by some cuddling on the couch with a glass of wine. Now that’s celebrating!

What I do like about Valentine’s Day though, is that it kind of gives me an extra push to take a look at my lingerie collection and see where I can update myself. Nothing says “Let’s get some new lingerie!” quite like Valentine’s Day really, and I have been making my window shopping rounds, and have come up with a fun and sexy wish list. I thought, why not share this with you to get your in the lovey dovey mood as well…

1. Cuban Heel Contrast Top Stocking
For a vintage look and feel these Cuban heel stockings have red contrasting top, backseam and heel. Available in red/nude. Muy caliente!

2. Lace and Stretch Satin Corset
Back in the 1800’s looking like an hourglass meant not breathing. Fortunately, today’s corset has been reinvented with styles that are comfortable as well as supportive. This plus size stretch satin corset with contrasting lace and boning looks just as glamorous as it feels. Delicate ribbon runs through the lace and ties into pretty bows over the bust and hips for a vintage look. A hook and eye adjustable back combined with adjustable straps and garters shows we’ve come a long way, Milady. Choose from bright rose with black lace trim, purple with black trim, black with pink trim, light blue/white, or pink/white. Matching G-string included!

3. Stretch Satin and Lace Bustier
Stretch satin bustier has floating, slightly padded underwire bra with lace detailing. Hook and eye back, adjustable straps, removable garters. Comes with matching G-string.

4. Satin Jacquard Corset
This sexy plus size corset makes for some hot, steamy and delayed passion when your lover has to unlace the ribbons down the back of your corset. If you are in a hurry you can just undo the hook and eye front, but why make it easy. Good things come to those who wait. But on to the corset details: our tapestry-like, long line jacquard and lace corset has lightly padded underwire cups for support, body-shaping side, front and back boning, plus a waist cinching lace-up back. This sexy plus size corset comes with adjustable straps, garters and includes matching G-string. Are you ready to have some fun?!

5. Rose Lace Bodystocking
This plus size bodystocking is for the truly romantic. Cover your curves in dreamy rose lace when you slip into this bodystocking. Wear it in nothing but your stocking feet or a with a pair of simple, classic high heel pumps. Rose lace bodystocking has spaghetti straps and open crotch.

Tara - Wholesale Manager
Brocade Lace Wrap Top and Lena Palazzo Pants in Black
“When Valentine’s Day comes around, and I get the pleasure of an evening out on the town with my husband I want to look beautiful. More importantly I want to be comfortable in what I am wearing so that I can enjoy the evening to the fullest. This year I found the perfect outfit to be both sexy and comfortable on Valentine’s Day. The Brocade Lace Wrap Top is exactly what I was looking for. It is sexy and classic with its luxurious, Spanish inspired black and red lace and wrap style. Pair it up with an old favorite, the Lena Palazzo Pants in black, and there is the comfort. The fabric drapes and flowers with your every move. Add some knock out evening heels and that special piece of jewelry that makes your feel like a Queen and let the night take your where it will. Enjoy!”

Lana - Textile Designer
Hollywood Diva Satin Gown with Matching Shawl in Red
“I am in such awe with this dress. It looks so dreamy when you see it on a woman as she moves.”

Masha - Marketing Manager
Asymmetric Hem Tunic in Raisin
“I love this top; it’s long, it covers your hips and provides a slimming look. The asymmetric detail gives it a funky twist, making it stand out with no need to accessorize. Throw it on jeans or any other pants and you will look great. It’s a winner!”

Megan - Retail Associate
Lace Overcoat and Little Black Dress
“Did somebody say curves? These two hot numbers accentuate all of the right ones to create an elegant and sexy look. Not only are they perfect for Valentine’s Day, but they would also look extremely stylish over a pair of jeans with a belt for a more casual night out on the town.”

Lucie - Design Associate
Eternal Beauty Gown
“I love the Eternal Beauty Gown in red because… hmmm red and sexy, with some cleavage and a beautiful neckline, what does that make? Oh yeah, the perfect Valentine’s Day dress which will make my date go crazy.”

Alison - Customer Service
Novella Gown
“I love the Novella Gown because I feel glamorous and daring.”

Jennifer - Graphic Designer
Catalina Dress in Brown
“I get so many compliments every time I wear this dress, especially from the male species. It’s an easy throw on an just-look good with minimum effort dress.”

Ozlem - Marketing & Media Coordinator
Andrea Tuxedo Pants in Black, Michelle Godet Skirt in Black/Red, Celine Lace Gown
“My favorites for Valentine’s Day or any other special day? I can’t just choose one! Can I do five? Ok, I will settle for three. I think I must have blogged the hell out of the tuxedo pants. They are do elegant! I would just pair it with a white crisp shirt with ruffles and red stilettos and a red clutch. Michelle just reminds me of Carmen seductively plain with her skirt as she flirted with Don Jose. And Celine, oh Celine! I want you, so bad! Besides being a sucker for lace, I am the biggest fan of this dress because it shows off just the right amount of skin on the chest, and legs and creates a dramatic, powerful effect with the overdress.”

And there you have it. Valentine’s Day choices from the IGIGI team. This will definitely give you a head start if you’re stuck and unsure what to wear on Valentine’s Day!
