Here’s Savvy’s favorite cautionary Valentine’s Day lingerie tale: She was in Victoria’s Secret and noticed a very prominent Baltimore businessman picking up a sassy little bra and panty present. How sweet, she thought. Then she saw him pick up a second set in another size. That naughty rascal had figured out that if you get your wife and your mistress the same thing, you can’t get snagged by being spotted in a store you shouldn’t be in or confronted with a receipt you can’t cough up the goods for. Oh how clever! It was then that Savvy realized that having a taste for very special, very limited lingerie might have advantages she hadn’t considered. Polina’s Prive stocks exclusive lines like Mimi Holiday (love the retro designs and pure silk) from England, Blush from France (such great prices, even with the Euro bounding back) and Nikol Djumon (with pretty, supportive styles up to a 38E, not that Savvy has such concerns) from Latvia, none of which can be found at the mall and all guaranteed to keep your favorite CEO happy at home. Take that, tarts! Don’t miss: The pieces from Body Wrap, the sexiest shapewear Sav has ever seen. No more having to duck into the ladies room to shove your Spanx in your purse, girls! 1706 Aliceanna St., 410-276-0205
