Mysterious seduction
Every woman should have at least one piece of seductive, sexy underwear in her closet. He is well aware of this Dita Von Teese, which launched its lingerie line for women Von Follies by Dita Von Teese. This was born spontaneously from Dita's love for seductive underwear and her personal vintage lingerie collection. The luxury of lace, femininity, transparency and the retro touch of the 40s and 50s of the last century are mandatory elements of her collections. The commercial opposite of Dita's collection is America's largest retailer of cult lingerie, Victoria's Secret, which was founded in 1977. The marketing approach that created today's most desirable models, the Victoria's Angels, who walk the runway of the most anticipated fashion show, has helped to unimaginably success and their popularization. lingerie.dita.net www.victoriassecret.com
The most iconic photo
The most famous kiss in the world? Definitely the one in the photo »Le baiser de l'hôtel de ville(Kiss at the Hotel de Ville) by a French photographer Robert Doisneau, which is famous for its photographs that capture the everyday moments of Parisians. His most famous photo, in which two lovers kiss in the city, was taken in 1950 for Life Magazine, but his popularity and fame came much later, in 1986, when the publisher asked the photographer for permission to reproduce it on a poster. Since then, the mentioned photo is the most often immortalized photo on posters, notebooks, postcards... Around the iconic photo, which is synonymous with Paris and romance, there has been a lot of speculation over the years, whether the scene in the photo is truly spontaneous or it is a playful scene. www.robert-doisneau.com

The most romantic song
When the two directors of the film Endless Love, Franco Zeffirelli, and the producer, Jon Peters, turned to Lionel Richie, to compose an instrumental for their film in which she starred Brooke Shields, probably none of them had any idea that something big and iconic would be created. When the director changed his mind and asked the musician to add lyrics and add female vocals to his wish list, the pieces of music history began to come together. Duet by Lionel Richie ter Diane Ross spent nine weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard charts in 1981, and more than three decades later the song Endless Love reigns at number one on the Billboard chart of the most romantic songs of all time. www.billboard.com
The most romantic homemade gift
How do you tell someone you love them? In endless ways, but with delicious innovation, plus points are guaranteed. Ordinary light bulb we can turn it into an original gift for your chosen one in an hour. Remove the filament from the bulb and replace it with a thin wire (if it is red, it will be even more contrasting), which you can shape into the shape of a heart. We place it in a light bulb, and we glue it to a wooden cube that serves as a base for gifts. If the wood is soft, the wires can also be stuck into it. If desired, we can also add a love message to the wood and the gift is complete. Simple as that.
The most beautiful love book
On October 5, 2012, the publishing house A dream issued a gift book »I would recognize you among thousands", in which 50 poems of the Slovenian poet are collected Mile Kačič in honor of the 100th anniversary of the poet's birth. On the occasion of this jubilee, they also released an English version »Among the Thousands I Would Know You", which is also the first translation of her poems into English. Kačičeva can be remembered for her unforgettable roles in the theater or film, or for her love lyrics (which she started writing because she was not satisfied in her acting profession). Her work is honestly shocking, a reflection of her cruel life path, her love for her lifelong companion, the sculptor Jakob Savinšek, a reflection of motherly love and the element of death that characterized her life. One of the greatest Slovenian poets of love lyrics has signed seven poetry collections. www.sanje.si
The most romantic museum to visit as a couple
Venice it is considered a romantic city, with narrow streets and canals, where history, tradition and Italian charm intertwine. Ob The Grand Canal there is a museum Guggenheim, which is considered one of the most romantic in the world. Definitely a good idea for a romantic weekend getaway where you can indulge in the art collection Peggy Guggenheim, who lived in the house and decorated it with works of art. An even greater "dose" of kitsch and romance is provided by the late afternoon light, which turns a walk through the sculpture garden into an intimate ritual. www.guggenheim-venice.it
