Lace can quickly get boring and it sometimes feels like there's nothing new when it comes to the knicker department. Enter, then, Ann Summers who has dropped this pink heart-racing set, featuring pretty sheer and heart embroidery for a look that's sexy, pretty and fresh all at once. Our advice? Go all out with the pink hold-ups.

Flowers are nice and all, but a floral perfume? Now that's more like it. Choose right and a floral fragrance will capture all that scent and beauty and package it up into one perfect perfume that will keep on giving long past Valentine's Day.
