Victoria's Secret Catalog

The Lure of Victoria’s Secret

No one can deny that Victoria’s Secret has and is a force in the multibillion dollar lingerie industry. In a world that used to be dominated by Frederick’s of Hollywood, how did Victoria’s Secret ever manage to become the largest mover and shaker in this decidedly feminine business? There are a few key elements that help to explain this, namely:

• Models with cache: The catalog is teeming with of some of the world's most recognizable faces, including Adriana Lima, Gisele Bundchen, and Tyra Banks. When these ladies show up to strut their stuff at the Victoria's Secret fashion show, millions tune in!

• Affordable prices: It’s one thing to want pretty undergarments, but actually being able to afford them is an entirely different story. Victoria’s Secret understands this and offers bras, panties and baby dolls at both the high and low end of the price spectrum.

• Tame and Provocative: Many enjoy browsing through the Victoria's Secret catalog because they know they’ll see designs that run the gamut from tame to provocative. Where else can you purchase a utility T-shirt bra (that, by the way, looks anything but utilitarian) and then flip the page and purchase a sexy garter belt?

Inside the Victoria's Secret Catalog

This catalog is chock full of goodies! You’ll, of course, find the usual selection of bras, panties, baby dolls, slips and chemises, but you’ll also find the unexpected. Here’s a closer look:

Sexy Little Things

The title tells you everything you need to know! Sexy Little Things is perfect for those days when you want to feel and look incredibly cute and sexy. In this category, try the Satin Lace-Up Hip hugger. The front features a diamante heart accent, but it’s the back of this hip hugger that’s the real show stopper! Featuring a criss-cross opening, this hip hugger exposes your tush’s cleavage at its provocative best; a sexy little thing indeed!

Sista Shei

Sista Shei are fun, flirty British imports that are based on fairy tale designs. This translates into the cutest, most decidedly feminine concoction of ruffles and lace. There’s even a matching eye mask to help you fulfill your princess role! The eye mask is $18, the gingham push up bra is $48, the gingham bikini bottom is $22, and the gingham garter belt is $44.

Victoria’s Secret Pink

Although originally designed to entice the college-aged set, just about anyone who loves the color pink, and the flirty fun it stands for, can enjoy this collection! While the bras and panties are done in fun, upbeat colors (think sunny yellow and polka dot pink) the loungewear associated with the collection features the pink logo.

The Designer’s Collection

If you think that the Victoria's Secret catalog only contains foundation garments, then you’ve got to check out their designers collection for swim looks. These bathing suits are hot, hot, and hot, in the most fashion forward of styles! From cut-outs to bikinis, you can expect prices to range from $27 to $56 and beyond.

Beyond Sexy

Amazingly enough, this catalog literally offers one stop shopping for gals on the go. While you peruse the pages, you’ll see items that enhance every area of your wardrobe. From designer shoes (Jessica Simpson, Steve Madden, et al) to career work clothes to jeans tailor made for a fun Saturday night; this catalog has it all. And while the prices are reasonable, you'll want to carefully review the size charts on these items. You don’t want to ruin your catalog shopping experience by selecting the wrong size!

Finishing Touch? Add Makeup!

Makeup is the finishing touch for any great outfit and the executives at Victoria’s Secret inherently understand this. That’s why they offer a full line of face products to help you look like a supermodel. Once you begin choosing from their wide selection of eyeliners, lipsticks, bronzers, and blushes, you’ll be feeling like a bombshell in no time at all!
