Off course we’re not here to congratulate Lascivious on their brand name, so let’s move on to the lingerie! First up, the new Lascivious Bridal collection that’s now available on the Lascivious website. The white tulle and satin collection is absolutely gorgeous, and features eye-catching details on all the pieces. I adore the front closure strapless “Laura” bra (£76), but the true centerpiece are surely the extravagant Laura Ouverts open crotch panties (£48). Enjoy the superb photo, more on the Lascivious website!

As a little extra, we’ve got these amazing sneak previews from Lascivious’ recent launch party for their new film (check it out on their website!), the girls are wearing the upcoming AW0 — so expect more news on these soon! Enjoy!

First off, buying jewelry isn’t the safe choice. If you’re thinking: “Is this relationship ready for lingerie?” you should ask the same question when it comes to jewelery. That’s not a big one though, because I’m sure almost any woman would ‘forgive’ their man for buying her expensive presents ‘too early’. What I’m trying to say is: don’t be too scared!

The main reason for this post however is the whole “what message does lingerie send to my girlfriend?” question. It’s an important question to ask because it’s true some women tend to ‘read’ presents. You can’t give us girls a gigantic diamond ring and expect us to believe we’re just having casual sex. Does lingerie send the opposite message? Does it say: “Hey babe, I love the way you look naked and I’m buying something I can enjoy looking at before we do it!”?

Not at all, but you do have to watch out! The key is buying the right kind of lingerie, and presenting it on Christmas day accompanied with the right message. Don’t buy an open-crotch fishnet babydoll, but buy a romantic laced-up bra/thong/garter combination in romantic ‘bordeaux red’ (we’re referring to the red wine colour here ). Don’t buy a $25 set but spend a little more on a true high-end brand that’ll feel so much better on her body. Buy something you like, something you think will look absolutely stunning on her. And on Christmas day, present it to her on a romantic moment, explaining why you bought it (be honest, unless you do just want to see her naked ). Feel free to talk her through the whole process of selecting, shopping, and doubting. She’ll be positively surprised about the work you put in to finding the right set. Once you’ve got her there, there’s no way she’ll be unhappy with her present. Oh, and praise her beauty, we girls love that, oh ‘quel surprise’! Forget about jewellery, lingerie is the ultimate intimate Christmas present!
