Erin Flaherty is the style editor of The Frisky, a ladysite that offers a humorous, irreverent, and above all, authentic take on pop culture, relationships, and style. In her previous life, she was a fashion mag editor, but ever since she started working on the interwebs, she’s been hooked. She is a huge Etsy fan because as someone who lacks mad craft skills, groovy handmade items simply blow her away. She’s so excited to share smokin’ hot lingerie picks today!

Half the time all those tired old articles regarding “spicing things up in the bedroom” sound so totally stale at best, and ridiculously offensive at worst. Still, there’s definitely something to be said for eliciting a jaw-dropping, eye-popping reaction from your lovah when you debut a sexy sweet little nothing. And when we recently read that the recession may be responsible for increased sales in racy underthings, we decided it was time to join the club and start shopping. Whether it’s for a hot date or just chillaxing alone in your boudoir, you can’t go wrong with these frilly naughties.

FLORAL HIGH WAISTED PANTIES

Say what you will about granny panties, but not only are they incredibly comfortable, I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a pair more adorable than these stretchy floral knit knickers. (Note the sweet pink velvet trim!) By kelseygenna, $18.

Hello Sailor Cotton Bandeau Set

The nautical look is huge right now, but it’s easy to go overboard (um, pardon the pun). I love this more pared down version: There’s something very chic and French about this look, like this is how an off-duty A.P.C. model would look lounging around the country chalet on a summer weekend. By LoveBabyGrand, $64.

Side Tie Panty – Cream and Black Polka Dot

So I actually have a pair of panties that tie on both ends at home, and both my man friend and I have one word for them: HOT. In all caps. By LonelyGirlLingerie, $79.

Paper White Nightgown – 0013

Vintage lace gets a modern update with this white, racer-back nightie that seems just as right for a sexytime kind of night as it does for a Sunday afternoon of reading the paper in bed. Not only does the sateen cotton sound delish, marketstoreshoppe‘s items are one-size-fits-all and each is a unique production. $80.

Lily Garter Belt

I love that seller Hopeless explained that this garter belt was “inspired by the singing garden in Alice in Wonderland.” Love the mix of naughty and nice here, you know? By Hopeless, $150.

Watercolor Bralette Set

Many a man will admit that they prefer naked bodies to frilly underwear any day. I guess that’s where we’ll have to disagree, because this flirty little number is just way too cute to pass up. By ClareBare, $64.

Luxury Silk Eye Mask in Water Lilies Fully Adjustable

Eye masks always remind me of that scene in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” where Holly Golightly answers the door wearing nothing but a man’s tuxedo shirt. They also come in handy for both sleeping and fooling around in the bedroom. By BibBon, $25.

Leather Love Cuff

Personally, I could see something like this working inside of the bedroom or out on the town. It reminds me of all the amazing arabesque henna designs I seen on visits to the Middle East, but LoveAtFirstBlush says they were inspired by Art Nouveau and Japanese Karakusa designs. $65.

Beautiful Satin Peacock Baby Burlesque Nipple Pasties

I mean, if you’re gonna go ahead and rock pasties à la Rihanna, you might as well go for it. These babies ain’t subtle, that’s for sure, but they’re more exciting than say, your Plain Jane nippies. Very “Showgirls!” Love it. By gothfoxdesigns, $19.

Sailor Sherry steel boned tight lacing corset

I guess there is something to be said for exploring the sexual fantasy of dressing up like Sailor Moon or whatever, right? By boobietrapcorsets, $215.

Pinup Style Cherry Pumps – Size 10

These would go so well with the sailor outfit above if you just wanted to go totally all out kitschy. I also love the idea of painting plain old shoes with your own design. By WastedWishes, $28.

Oo La La Corset Earrings – Sterling Silver

These are perfect for calling attention to your ears, which for whatever reasons, have become the new “it” body part of the moment (random, I know!). Unusual jewelry makes my day, and these are so cool because they’re very subtle, but if someone was going in for a closer look, you’d probably get a nice compliment. By ottobone, $142.
