Love Me Tender

It may be three weeks until Valentine's Day, but here in Wales, we celebrate love a little earlier in the year.  St Dwynwen's Day is Welsh Valentine's Day, and falls each year on 25th January (the same day as another regional celebration - Scotland's Burns Night).  Needing no excuse to dress up, what better way to mark the occasion than with one of the glamorous bed jacket and French knicker sets from Glitter and the Moon?  The antidote to tacky Valentine's lingerie!



This is also an opportunity to share some of the somewhat extensive collection of Elvis memorabilia that exists in my household.  I wasn't a huge Elvis fan until the first roadtrip I took with my now husband across Tennessee when we'd been seeing each other for six months or so.  On the first night of our trip we stayed in the Heartbreak Hotel watching back to back Elvis films, and of course visited Graceland the next day.  I fell head over heels with The King - and my husband!

As I am posting with Valentine's Day in mind, I'll just mention my husband's reaction to this ensemble; 'cute'!  I have to say I'm not one for raunchy and skimpy lingerie, and so it's rather refreshing to have a lovely vintage style set like this that leaves a bit more to the imagination.  It made me feel very glamorous, and it's a bonus that it's comfortable.  Feeling awkward dampens ardour like nothing else.

The quality of the jacket and knicker set is excellent, in such a gloriously rich red, and you'll notice that it's personalised too.  I didn't choose a 'P' for Porcelina, instead choosing to have my personalisation for my real name.  Glitter and the Moon personalise items with your monogrammed initial for no extra charge.  The detail is really lovely, with the 'Moonlight' design I chose showing a little crescent moon with hanging star, but there are many other themes to choose from, including cocktails, roses, beauty salon and snowglobe cities.  Bed jackets start at £55, French knickers at £25, and robes at £110, with all three available in ivory, red or black.  There's a great offer on at Glitter and The Moon presently - order a bed jacket by Valentine's Day, and you'll be sent a matching French knicker for free, saving you enough to buy some champagne!

I was kindly sent the bedjacket and knickers for review.  Words and opinions are all my own.
