So have you figured out what you are going to wear for Valentines Day yet? Before you run to your favorite lingerie department and buy the first red bra and thong set you see ... heed these words of wisdom ... try before you buy.

Most of us are wearing the wrong size bra; 8 out of 10 of us, to be exact. Getting fit for a bra is oh-so-easy and will make you look and feel fabulous. Whether it is for under your Valentine's Day outfit or possibly is your entire Valentine's Day outfit, you will look your best if the girls are lifted and supported.

If your bra looks like a necklace--you know, when your bra rides up your back and the girls head south in front (which is just so wrong)--it will make you look old and tired instead of the gorgeous goddess that you really are.

Valentine's Day Buxom Inc.jpg

Whether you're on the lookout for something special to wear for a significant other or just to treat yourself to this Valentine's Day, we've got lingerie ranging from comfy to complex, barely there to buxom.

So it's fitting we start out with Buxom Inc.'s one shouldered camisole, on sale for $37.50. A built-in tank bra fits sizes C-DD cups. For something a little sexier, Buxom has a great selection of chemises for fuller cup sizes as well.

Agent Provocateur's non-celebrity campaigns can be a little weird, but this is the weirdest. And Pixie Geldof is in it. Does she count as a celebrity? Either way, she's willing to work with centaurs. Seriously. Furry centaurs. Couldn't they get the centaurs from Harry Potter?

There are some sweet pieces in this collection, but also some stuff you could easily get at Victoria's Secret or Frederick's of Hollywood.

Apparently even the svelte supermodels legions of women envy face some insecurity when walking in the biggest and nakedest of all fashion shows - the Victoria's Secret lingerie show.

"For other fashion shows you can be skinny, but for Victoria's Secret, you need definition," says Doutzen Kroes who walks for high fashion heavy weights like Christian Dior and Valentino.

"I love feeling so sexy and I love to be on this runway, but you're nervous because it's lingerie and it's on TV," Kroes said. "There are so many people seeing you live, it's not like a picture when there is Photoshop after."

It's rumored that Kroes will be wearing a frothy pink ballerina ensemble and a Greek goddess get-up in tonight's televised event on CBS at 10 p.m.

This week we borrow our designer pick of the week from Nina Garcia's upcoming "The One Hundred." A follow up to "The Little Black Book of Style," "The One Hundred outlines the one hundred items every fashionable girl should own.

Wolford tights made the list, making them even more lustworthy in our eyes. Plus, we all remember when Blair deemed them the only thing you can get for $50 these days on Gossip Girl.

A lot of shapewear is designed for special events and involves discomfort and contraptions that you would never want to deal with on a daily basis. Plus, those more everyday solutions out there, like Spanx, are usually targetted for the butt, hips, and thighs.

What if a tummy is your problem? Try Bordeaux's signature S tank - a soft and comfy tank that is built into the brand's tops and dresses.

It is completely comfortable and just feels like you're wearing a work out top, and it even controls the girls so on these sweaty days you don't need to deal with a bra.

Kate Moss Agent Provocateur.jpg

The Kate Moss fans over at our U.K. fashion site have been following the is she isn't she story of Kate Moss for Agent Provocateur for weeks. Here's a handy round-up of the information so far.

- Kate Moss is still in at Agent Provocateur, as their bridal campaign gal.
- Lily Cole and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley were mentioned as new AP faces, but have yet to be confirmed.
- Alice Dellal has possibly been tapped for a future AP campaign.
- Dellal isn't the only new talent rumoured to be on the AP payroll.

There is further whispers that New York model Paz de la Huerta (pictured left), and Helena Christensen have been selected for AP's next mainline campaign, along with Dellal.

Sex and the City lingerie.jpg

All things "Sex and the City" are grabbing shoppers' interest right now, and the Cosabella "Sex and the City" lingerie range is no exception.

The Manhattan flagship Bloomingdale's store will be hosting a launch party Thursday, as part of a week-long lead up to the movie's big New York premiere.

There will be free foot and body massages by Oasis Day Spa, as well as two screening passes for the motion picture, 100 "Sex and the City" T-shirts, a DJ and gift bags.

Summer sleepwear that goes beyond boxers

Nothing gives away a college or 20-something wardrobe faster than a lack of sophisticated sleepwear. Sure, it can be the last thing you want to spend money on if no one (or only one person who is supposed to love you no matter what) sees you in it. But searching for lovely lace nightgowns or playful pajamas can be addictive.

So toss those men's boxer shorts and workout tanks back where they belong - in your gym bag - and check out the items above.

This Agent Provocateur promotional film seems to show off Kate Moss's mediocre acting more than any underwear, but we're sure fans will take what they can get. Fashionista wonders if Kate's too thin to be sexy, but we're mostly wondering what's up with her eyes?
