Why I Love Valentine's Day

Those who know me aren't surprised that I love Valentine's Day, or any celebratory day for that matter. Life is short, why not live it up? I don't subscribe to the "Hallmark Holiday" bitterness that some do. I enjoy any excuse to celebrate and rejoice at life, and LOVE!

It doesn't hurt that my husband and I have a track-record for Valentine's Day romance. When we were first dating, he made the first Valentine's Day we spent together extra-special. He had been travelling through Europe, and decided to sneak home early to surprise me. The morning of Valentine's day I awoke to a trail of chocolate Kisses that led in to my powder room. In the bathroom, I found roses EVERYWHERE. On the counter was a card that read "Now that I have showered you with flowers, and kissed the ground you walk on, will you be my Valentine?" Sigh... still the most romantic moment, to date, in my life.

I have to admit that I also became engaged to Ryan on Valentine's Day. After a lovely day of shopping (he bought me lingerie!) we sat down to eat at a delicious, casual restaurant in Le Marais district. After dinner Ryan suggested a walk, which was a chilly one due to the cool February evening in Paris. Ryan proposed to me right over the Seine on Napolean's bridge, overlooking Notre Dame, the smell of warm chestnuts in the air. How could I say no?

Pretty romantic, n'est pas? Valentine's day is all good for me, and I hope it is for you, too! Life is all about making the best memories--I hope you make some good ones this February 14th!

What is Sexy? Aubade!

What is SEXY, really? Is it a feeling, a look, an attitude?

I think sexy is confidence. Confidence is knowing you look amazing, because you feel amazing. Sexy is purposeful--it is authenticity and poetry. And lace.

Aubade helps me feel sexy without having to try.

The new Polynesienne collection has arrived in store. Each piece is exquisite: Ribbon details, embroidery and tulle-printed mesh are calling your name...

Tres sexy! The latest Elle Macpherson Fly Butterfly collection has landed at Bellefleur. Ivory lace borders the satiny black cups of this deep plunge bra. Worn under a blouse, it looks simple and smooth. Worn alone, in conjunction with the waist-nipper, it is racy sight to behold. The whole ensemble hints at a classically sexy silhouette, a la. En garde!

Make him see red. The newest in Boudoir lingerie comes a saucy three piece set sure to get hearts racing. The brassiere features a red lacy demi cup with a chiffon sling with black contrast stitching, giving it an air du moderne. The waspie wraps your waist in red satin with boning for shape. Finish it off with the garter thong, strap on some black stockings, and your ready for the camera. This is the perfect selection for your upcoming photoshoot of personal boudoir photographs.

Mix haute couture with plaisir and what do you get? A corset-styled bra and bikini! The top is made of sheer lace and boning. The bikini has a naughty sheer back. The colour will make you think of strawberries in summer. Delicieuse!

Lingerie Gift Guide from the Lovely Ladies of Bellefleur

Lindsey (on the right) Recommends the following "girlfriend" gifts:
Underneath it All, the essential lingerie guidebook. If you didn't know already, it was written by our very own Jen, the owner of Bellefleur! $13.95 -And a massage oil candle in lavender vanilla scent. When you burn it, the warm liquid "wax" is actually massage oil! $10 .

A rainbow of Hanky Pankys. You will most likely buy a bunch of these amazingly comfortable stretch lace thongs as gifts, but then end up keeping a few for yourself.

Many colors available! $18 each.

Scottie (far left) recommends for Mommy Dear(est):

Buying bras for your mom can be a challenge, especially when they won't even come in for a fitting (i.e. my mom). The sad truth is that too many moms aren't wearing the properly fitting bra they deserve. Buy her a gift certificate to show her some love, then accompany her on her visit to Bellefleur for her fitting. She needs your support! (No pun intended.)

Jen's picks for the woman in your life (tall glass of water in the middle):

Upgrade her sleepwear wardrobe with some proper and sexy pajamas. Yes, they exist! Wendy Glez makes the most fabulous, comfy and alluring two-piece pajama/lounge sets on the market (you can find me in them most nights). Around $98 per set.

Show her you still find her sexy by acquiring an Aubade or Mimi Holiday bra and panty set for her. Sexy, sophisticated and well worth the scratch. $150-$250 per set.
Looking for a stocking stuffer?

• Sweet Beauty body and massage oils have real Theo chocolate in every bottle. I am in love with this stuff. For $22, you can be, too!
• Booty Parlor kissable body shimmer and bronzer will make her skin look and taste yummy. The perfect body glow to wear with your new lingerie. $22.
