Good Clean Fun! By Cassie Elsaesser:

As you begin to shed the layers of clothes this spring, Fashion Maniac has come up with a perfect solution to dress accordingly in the bedroom - lingerie. I know it seems like lingerie would only please the male, but what girl doesn't like to feel a little romantic and sexy? At least for one night! and this seasons lingerie pieces will do just that.
   
Designer 'Imitation of Christ' took its looks down the runway in soft lace and pastel hues this past season. This color palette and fabric choice is a perfect guide to picking out soft romantic pieces this season. By adding a little romance and femininity into your lingerie choice you will instantly feel the same. Pinks, nudes and cream colors are a perfect choice to keep in current style. Zac Posen chose a nude color palette for his lingerie pieces with accents of lace a ruffle. This added an angelic elegance to the models that strutted them down the runway and will do the same for your nightly ensemble.
  
For the brazen girls who want to take a risk with their lingerie, designer Richie Rich is a perfect "go to" inspiration for a risk-taking look. He chose a predominately black color palette for his lingerie ensembles. Bold leather and black lace lingerie pieces were seen sent down the runway in his collection this past season. For anyone who has a bold and edgy aesthetic, these looks are absolutely for you.


 
Whether you're a romantic angelic gal or an edgy fashionista, Buffalo boutiques have what you need when the mood strikes. Lotions and Potions located on Auburn and Elmwood (entrance on Auburn side) has the perfect gifts for you. This charmingly romantic boutique has beautiful lingerie pieces from top designers and gorgeous jewelry to compliment any lingerie ensemble. Two gifts that are perfect for this season.
