And with Valentine’s Day fast approaching, getting that special little something to don or gift is particularly important. But if you require something a little more special than your typical department store (and your really do, don’t you?) the lingerie boutique is a must. And so, Haute Living presents you with the top 5 store lingerie stores in Boston to help you get a jump on your lingerie shopping endeavor.

With the Boston Wine Expo taking place this weekend (Jan 22-23) many of you may have wine on the mind (and on the tongue and in your gullet).
