Give Her Hugs and Kisses on Valentine’s Day

Feb. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Los Angles, CA – Valentine’s Day is sure to be a bit more playful thanks to Bleu Garters’ XOXO Collection.  Inspired by vintage pinup photographs, the collection is filled with vivid colors and flirty accents.  Bringing back the garter that has been all but banished to weddings, Bleu Garters revisits an accessory that marked femininity, sensuality, and independence in an era of flappers and speakeasies.  

“We used bright satin ribbons in scarlet red, deep indigo, fuchsia, aqua, and black, paired with colorful hearts, cherry buttons, and bows,“ said designer Jaime Lawson.  The collection combines sass with romance. “To round out the collection, we added a couple softer, luxurious colors, like neutral taupe and ballet pink,” Lawson went on to say.

The XOXO Collection presents two styles of garters: Classic and Tie.  The Classic garter encircles the leg entirely with elasticized silk ribbon or fabric, incorporating bows, rhinestones and trimmings.  The tie garter holds back a delicate lace with double-faced satin ribbon tying in a bow in the back.

There’s a garter for every woman’s fancy.  Here are Lawson’s tips for selecting the perfect garter:

Bling Queen- Make sure to get a garter with Swarovski crystals.  

Playful Gal- Go for a brightly colored garter with a bow.  

The Seductress- Choose a garter in a dark color, such as indigo or black, or a garter that incorporates lace.

Wild Card- When in doubt, go with your favorite color.

Garters make a fun, creative, sexy Valentine's Day gift.  “Why not personalize a garter by embroidering your anniversary date, a special time you shared together, or simply "I love you", “ said Lawson.
