intimates

Pardon the Fashion Week interruption, but the shots of Miranda Kerr for Victoria's Secret's bridal lingerie collection have us wondering (yet again) just how does she do it? The flawless supermodel plays the part of blushing bride for the retailer's intimates collection — and could make just about anyone want a piece of bridal lingerie. Sure, some of this set would be hard to spin as just some sexy underthings, like the "I do"-embellished tank and matching "bride"-emblazoned panties, but the lace-trimmed shorts, camisole, and bra (minus the veils and fascinators), and the striped satin pj's would be just as pretty in any girl's underwear drawer — regardless of relationship status. Not convinced? Click through to see every gorgeous look right here, then head over to Victoria's Secret to shop your favorites.

We rarely indulge ourselves with the pretty underthings we really want — but since holiday gifting is all about getting something we want, and not something we necessarily need, what could be better than receiving a super sexy slip or a silky robe? That's the thought behind our latest gift guide — a curated selection of the sweetest, sultriest teddies, chemises, and bralettes on the market. So, whether you're in search of an indulgent find for your sis or your girlfriends — or you're plotting to add a piece to your own wish list (or drop a hint for your guy) — it's all inside. We've got all your bases covered, from the most provocative kind of lace teddy to a sweet set of everyone's favorite candy-colored undies; just click on to start shopping.

Even on the coldest gray days this Winter, we're betting you'll have something to smile about with one of these completely gorgeous slips hiding underneath all your layers. That's the power of pretty lingerie: even if no one else sees it, we can't help but feel just a little sexier wearing a beautiful lace slip or a sultry sheer chemise. So, as an antidote to all the cold-weather clothing shopping you're probably doing, we recommend you take a time-out to indulge in some ultrafeminine, totally dreamy lingerie. Some of it's more indulgent, like a dark, sheer body-con chemise, while other pieces, like a pretty white slip with a lacy neckline, might just transition well in your day-to-day, outfitted with the right cashmere pullover and tights. Whatever the occasion, we highly recommend you do a little me-shopping right here.
