With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Jeanne turns up the heat a notch and selects some of the city’s most chic sleepwear
WINNER:
CHRISTINE from COUP DE FOUDRE,
1285 Elgin Mills Rd. E., $250
“This feels so divine. It’s from Christine, which is a Vancouver label. This is a classic little négligée, no question. The delicate lace trim is so pretty. The silk has a great weight to it. It’s so fine. Very luxurious.”
A TASTE OF THE 1930s 
MARJOLAINE from AVEC PLAISIR,
136 Cumberland St., $250
“This particular little négligée is beautiful because it’s silk. The colour, that royal purple, is just sensational. The pièce de résistance, as far as I’m concerned, is the laces up the back. Very sexy and very playful.”
NOT-YOUR-AVERAGE NÉGLIGÉE
ARI DIEN from LINEA INTIMA,
2901 Bayview Ave., $395
“This is a funky one. It’s sort of in that artsy vein. There is some really great silk ribbon detailing in it, and with this splattering of gold, it looks a little more modern to me, a little more avant-garde perhaps. It’s beautiful.”
LITTLE BLACK BEADS
AGENT PROVOCATEUR from HOLT RENFREW,
3401 Dufferin St., $450
“I love this little top because it’s got some beautiful, beautiful lace appliqué stuff happening here. It’s almost like a beaded effect. The nice thing is that it would go over a woman of any shape because it’s got this kind of A-line shape to it.”
DARK, MEET LIGHT
MARJOLAINE from MELMIRA,
3319 Yonge St., $320
“I love the pink and black combo. It’s classic. It kind of has a 1950s vibe to it, and the pink lace over the bust gives it a really sexy edge. It’s also beautifully feminine. You can just hang that up and look at it all night.”
SECRET’S OUT
VICTORIA’S SECRET from VICTORIA’S SECRET,
220 Yonge St., $44
If you’re on a budget or reluctant to splurge, you might consider this négligée from Victoria’s Secret. This has some beautiful black lace detailing, and it also has a nice little styling feature with the little slit.”
L'AMOUR NOIR
SIMONE PERELE frdom SECRETS FROM YOUR SISTER,
560 Bloor St., $180
This is going to hug you in all the right places and if you are worried about some of those bulges, it would certainly be a great figure controller and a nice surprise when you pop your dress off
