It’s time to check your mailboxes for Victoria’s Secret ‘Christmas Dreams & Fantasies’.  Each year women who have fallen in love with the retailer’s sexy and sultry merchandise and men on a mission to please their own Victoria’s Secret model, are tempted for the holidays with a catalog of endless possibilities for gorgeous holiday gifts.

Blond bombshells stare back at you in a dusting of sparkles and 4-inch heels.  A black chiffon and lace babydoll negligee hits the spot.

Animal prints jump right off the pages to please your man.

Lace and frills dare you to dream and step into the world of desire.

A metallic lace and red lacquer push-up bra is as hot as the devil himself.  You might as well purchase the exclusive, limited-edition lace, red lacquer gown of silk and impress after dark and make it a set.

Gold is smeared across the pages in enchanting pieces that you will want to become yours.

Get ready for a feather and bows bikini party and plenty of sequins thrown in for good measure.

Close your eyes and imagine a Winter Wonderland of innocently beautiful pieces such as the sheer mesh garter slip in pale pink or the iridescent satin halter slip.  Indulge if you may in frosted delights.

As bewitching as the darkness are perfumes and fragrances in ‘Dark Orchids’ and Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Eau de Parfum.  Twinkle and tease with limited edition shimmer powder in black vanilla, frozen pear or blooming gardenia.

Combat the cold in a sequined dress or romper with faux fur vest complete with Angel slouchy hat.

For the teen in your life that is a ‘PINK’ fanatic, there is plenty of bling this holiday season from backpacks to jackets to hoodies to booties.

But the real party begins with steamy clothing from Victoria’s Secret.  Be the star of the evening in a beaded scoopneck sweater with black leather leggings or the shirred moon shine mini.  The animal print maxi dress with plunging halter neckline and large black embellished belt flows freely as you saunter about the room gaining attention.

It is instant intensity with a scarlet red open-back lace dress hugging those curves tightly as you round the corner.  The one-shouldered black and gold sequin sweater goes well with black leggings and glitter and glow in a sequin swing top.  All eyes are upon the embellished black cami dress or the beaded indigo mood drape blouse.  Pinks and purples are plum perfect in pencil skirts.

Stiletto sandals bejeweled in rhinestones make for the most magical ending.

Winters come alive with some of the feminine fashions that only Victoria’s Secret can bring to us.  Check out the many styles of comfy boots to go with the outfit.

For most, the highlight of the catalog is the most talked about bra of the season.   Our favorite Angel, Alessandra Ambrosio, debuted it earlier this month at the new Herald Square store in New York City.   The Floral Fantasy Bra is all of $2.5 million and beaming with amethysts, sapphires, rubies and white, pink and yellow diamonds.  Over 5200 precious stones adorn this bra crafted by London Jewelers. It can be yours for a price of $500,000.

The release of the catalog means that we are leading up to the much anticipated 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show to be aired on CBS on Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 10/9 p.m. CT.  Every year it becomes a bigger and better extravaganza filled with fabulous fashions and hot musical performances.  This year the fans will thrill to the sounds of Rihanna, Bruno Mars and Justin Bieber.

Give the gift that gives right back in many seductive ways.  Enjoy the holidays!
