For a well-lived life

What would Valentine's Day be without lingerie? I know I talked about clichéd, boring Valentine's gifts yesterday and I guess lingerie could fall under that category... but this lingerie is anything but cliché and far from boring.

Kiki de Montparnasse is probably the sexiest, most provocative-yet-stylish lingerie line I've ever laid eyes on. These are pieces designed for wear not only in the boudoir, but also in public, depending on how daring and inventive you are with your ensembles. (For instance, pairing the caftan de nuit with vintage light-wash Levi's 501's cuffed at the ankle (which I am so coveting right now) and sky-high platform shoe boots like these beauties by Alexander McQueen. Or, throw on a plain white tank with the Lux lounge pant for easy sophistication.)

The luxury fashion and lifestyle brand was "established with the conviction t
hat sensual pleasure and fulfillment are paramount to a well-lived life, our collections define a new category which empowers exploration of fantasy and communication of desire. We believe intimacy should be honored, and that discriminating consumers should be able to explore and express their passion with grace, sophistication and abandon."

On the Kiki de M. website, you can shop for sensually-themed products in the brand's four colle
ctions of lingerie and loungewear, accessories, bath and body, instruments of pleasure, plus erotic reads, film, music, even black and white photographs by Sam Haskins.

On pieces shown below, pricing ranges from $195 - $550

Here are some of my favorite pieces from the website:

Garter tank, Lounge collection


Lux Lounge pant, Lounge collection

Muse silk short, Lingerie collection
