Lauren’s V-Day Lingerie 101

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter.

 

Its two days before Valentine’s Day and you have no idea how to spice up the bedroom for your special Valentine. Take a deep breath and relax- you have come to the right place. Lingerie can be really expensive and seriously, what college girl has $150 to drop on a piece of lace that will no doubt end up on the floor in about 5 second?! While planning my post V-Day dinner event I came across some great websites and stores that offer cheap alternatives to high-end lingerie that we are all used to drooling over. Check out these deals to get your sexy on…

 

Aerie– right now they are having a HUGE sale that offers 40% off almost their entire bra collection. This brand offers more of a girl-next-door look by using pretty pastels and light floral patterns. They are also having a big panty sale as well (7 for $26) that rock adorable Valentine’s Day patterns.

 

Adore Me– if you are looking for something a bit sexier for your Valentine try this website. They offer very sexy corsets, teddy’s, and lingerie sets that will be sure to make your date’s jaw drop. This is an online store so you will have to get the faster shipping option, or if you are going home for the weekend and celebrating with your date a little later this would be a great option. The best part about this brand if they are very inexpensive and have similar styles to some of the high-end lingerie designers.

 

The Adult Store– I’m sure we have all been to this place at the end of State St. and giggled over their penis-shaped everything but they actually offer some good deals on Valentine’s Day “extras” like sexy V-Day themed pasties if you are wearing something that requires no bra and even some role play costumes if you want to heat up the sexy meter full blast.

 

A Tropical Affair– this boutique is off of Cota St. downtown and has a little bit of everything to help you get in the mood. This one is a more on the higher-end of the price scale because they offer lots of designer brands, but they do have a good selection of price-friendly options without over indulging.

 

Victoria Secret– of course everyone knows this brand as the lingerie capital of the world and that their sexy little things come a big not so sexy price tag. However they do offer great deals on their stockings if you are planning on wearing a garter belt with your outfit or if you want to turn up the heat in the bedroom without breaking the bank. They are moderately priced (about $16), you can re-wear them, and they come in lots of different styles and sizes.

 

Don’t forget the SEXIEST thing you can possibly wear for your Valentine is confidence. I know that sounds cheesy but seriously its true. Rock whatever you have planned like no tomorrow and you will both have an amazing night. XOXO.
