Finding
The Honey In Honeymoon Lingerie
Imagine the scene: Your bedroom is illuminated with
the smoldering glow of a hundred scented candles,
you have soft music playing in the background, the
champagne is chilling, and you've covered the bed in
rose petals and teensy-weensy heart shaped
chocolates (OK, cut the chocolates, they may get
messy
unless you eat them first!)
Feeling luxuriously languid in your silk negligee,
you lounge against the bedroom door, caressing the
door jamb like it's a small fluffy puppy. A gentle
intake of breath... Yes, you've attracted his
attention and he turns slowly to eye you from top to
toe. "Could you turn the music down, love? I can't
hear the game."
Now if this was your honeymoon, I'd be checking out
the pre-nup by now. But thankfully (or hopefully,
whichever is the case) this scenario may well be
what you'll come to expect down the track if you
don't keep your own on the ball (so to speak!)
Because unfortunately gals, unless you are one of
the infinitesimal number of lucky women who finds
herself with a really-truly romantic kinda guy, it's
up to us to keep the spice in the hot pot we call
romance. And certainly the time to put those
ingredients on to boil is during your honeymoon.
Whoever said "If love is blind, then why is lingerie
so popular?" certainly knew what he (or she) was
talking about. Your honeymoon is that strange hiatus
between the fairytale of your wedding day and the
soap-opera that will become real married life. It's
a time to get to know each other - intimately.
And that, my friends, is why honeymoon lingerie is
one of the most successful and popular items
currently bought on the Internet. And I said
"bought', not "ogled at"!
Young women in their droves are searching online
honeymoon lingerie sites looking for that one
special item (or maybe more if your heart and wallet
desires) that may get your man to take his hands off
the remote control and on to you.
The secret to buying the perfect honeymoon lingerie
is to compromise (and isn't that what marriage is
all about?) between what makes you feel fabulous,
flirty, sexy and ready for anything and what your
man loves to see you in - besides nothing at all!
There's simply not much point in organza and French
Chantilly lace if you rock your new hubby's socks
when you are wearing his Y-fronts with his
20-year-old Rangers T-shirt. A suitable compromise
might be a perky DKNY cotton cami and boy-leg shorts
set.
Similarly, you don't want to permanently damage the
delicate psyche of your romantic-at-heart if you
appear on Day 2 of your honeymoon in your pilled and
tattered trakky. He's going to wonder if he married
his Juliet or a grunge-band junkie. Honeymoon
lingerie has come out of the closet (so to speak!)
and gone uptown in an array of colors and styles
that would suit even the most coy of new brides. If
the whole white lacy suspender-and-stockings-number
makes you want to run to the nearest divorce lawyer,
you'll be thrilled with the latest range of
honeymoon lingerie available online. "New brides are
becoming color conscious - purchasing lingerie in a
rainbow of colors is the trend. We are seeing
honeymooners purchase sexy, classic and gorgeous
lingerie for their "big day" and "afterwards", not
restricting themselves to the traditional white or
black any more," says Jeanine Brown from the funky
and fashionable online lingerie store
www.cheekyedge.com." Aqua and red were the most
popular colors this past season and pale greens,
lilacs and soft baby pinks are currently popular."
So, there you have it. From sexy, sporty cropped
tops and boy-leg shorts, to the glamour of a silk
peignoir; from cheeky, flirty baby-dolls to the
sultry seductiveness of black teddies, honeymoon
lingerie offers you so many choices, it would take a
strong woman to stop at one. But then you did choose
just one marriage partner, so now all you have to
tackle is that remote. . .
