Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and there's just enough time to order a sexy surprise for you and your man to enjoy.

Lingerie can be a nightmarish thought to those of us who've had kids -- The key, I've found, is insisting on choosing it yourself.

That way, you can find naughty little nothings that accentuate the positives and hide the negatives. Forget what he likes; If you feel sexy, you'll both be happy!

Case in point: this Starry Babydoll (Victoria's Secret, $58). One push-up bra + one tummy-hiding skirt = one happy mama.

I have this ... um ... friend who owns this particular babydoll, and she loves it! It is actually her favorite lingerie set.

Want to see more V-Day lingerie that any mom could love? Read on ... Then tell me in the comments what kind of lingerie makes you feel sexy, now that you've had kids.

Narciso RodriguezI want to show my support for Obama, but I don't have a car -- so I can't get a bumper sticker. And I live in an apartment, so I can't put a little flag thingie in my front lawn. And most political t-shirts just don't quite look right with a blazer. If only they sold cute Obama-supporting swag at H&M!

Well, we're close.

The fashionistas have flocked to design some nifty swag for their favorite president: Check out the Runway to Win collection, designed by the likes of Tory Burch and Alexander Wu. The launch was hosted by Scarlett Johansson and Anna Wintour. Oh what, the celebrity thing hurts Obama's campaign? So what. Is it Obama's fault that fashion designers love him? Might as well embrace the love and make some campaign moneeeee -- and do it stylishly. 'Cause that's how Obama rolls. Here's a few highlights from the collection.

How awesome is it that more and more women are hopping on the whole wearing flats instead of heels bandwagon? Don't get me wrong -- heels are absolutely adorable and make our legs look amazing. But blisters and sore feet are kind of a high price to pay for looking fashionable.

Granted, there are quite a few gals who have figured out of the secret of how to walk in heels without wanting to cry after 10 minutes, but for those of us who can't master stilettos to save our lives, this new flats-are-sexy trend is like a breath of fresh air. It's also a huge win for moms in particular. Let's face it, not all of us are able to pull a Victoria Beckham and successfully carry a baby without dropping her while wearing 6-inch-high strappy sandals.

Aside from flat shoes being more comfortable and easy to walk in, a new study suggests that wearing flats is better for the health of your leg muscles, and that heels may actually make you more prone to injuries. 

Is it me, or does it seem like some sort of crazy coincidence that Jason Wu's Target line launches on Super Bowl Sunday? It's like they're giving the football widows something to do... anyway, if you wait until the game actually starts to pick up your own super-femme dresses and separates you are going to be much too late! Rumor has it this line will fly out of stores even faster than that Missoni did.

I didn't mind missing out on the Missoni for Target. But Jason Wu? Mama like! Mama need. So I'm planning my strategy to nab me some Wu before it all sells out.

I'm totally in the mood for spring shopping, probably because our winter here in Nashville has been unusually mild. Already, the daffodils are starting to bloom in my backyard!

So I was psyched when the latest J.Crew cataog showed up in my mailbox.

J.Crew always has great ideas on how to style your basics so that they look current -- and this issue is no exception.

It's all about color this spring, and unexpected color combinations.

I love everything about this photo to the left -- The addition of a bright blazer to your spring wardrobe can liven up a basic button down shirt and jeans.

And I'm crazy about the red sandals.

You may remember the knitted beard post I wrote for this blog several months ago.

It ended up being one of the most popular posts I've ever written here and was shared several thousand times on Facebook.

But what happens when I take the look out on the streets?

See the hilarious reactions to my knitted beard in our latest episode of I'll Take That Dare ... after the jump!

Rachel Zoe has named the corset belt as one of spring's hottest trends, and ...

Eh, I don't know.

I'm not sure I'm feeling this one -- particularly for spring.

I don't know about you, but spring gets pretty warm around here. The last thing I want around my waist is a thick piece of leather.

However, not all corset belts are quite as wide as the $139 Newport News version to your left.

See some more options after the jump, then tell me in the comments if you'll be wearing this Zoe-endorsed trend when the weather gets warmer!

Did Michelle Obama spend $50,000 on fancy lingerie at Agent Provocateur? OMG, DID SHE?!? Enquiring minds want to know! And the answer is, NO. Of course she didn't. But that didn't stop the Telegraph from claiming it in a blog post anyway.

Mrs. O paid a visit to the shop with the Queen of Qatar, Sheikha Mozah, last year, and we don't really know how much they spent -- or if Michelle bought anything at all. As for that $50K claim, I don't know where the Telegraph got that figure. Probably out of their a** They must have extrapolated something from the retailer's market reports or maybe just attributed Sheikha Mozah's bill to the First Lady.
