GIFT GUIDE
Every year, in the weeks leading up to Valentine's Day, women everywhere are assaulted with images of all things red, pink, white, frothy, and sweet. Little candy hearts and cutesy bra and underwear sets that would be right at home in Malibu Barbie's closet. If that happens to be your style, that's just fine, of course - but what about those of us that fancy ourselves and our mates...a bit edgier?
Luxury lingerie and lifestyle line Kiki de Montparnasse offers something chic for women who prefer their romance served straight up. The line borrows from vintage silhouettes and styles and adds a modern twist. Forgoing the use of traditional red and pink in favor of black and nude, Kiki de Montparnasse lingerie is sophisticated without losing any hint of sexiness. Favored by celebrities and fashion's elite, the pieces in the streamlined collections range from (somewhat) demure to racy - and if the price tag scares you off, there are plenty of budget-friendly options available on the website in the "Bath and Body", "Home", and "Arts" sections. There are also luxury gift sets available online for those that are short on time (and/or ideas).
Women often get a bad rap for being high maintenance or difficult to shop for, but if our boyfriends (especially mine) are any indication, men can be just as picky when it comes to gifts. Luckily you don't have to wander around the men's department at Bloomingdale's for 6 hours trying to find the perfect gift, because we have a thorough list of items your man will love. And, no, it doesn't involve giftcards or cologne!
