PRIMO VALENTINE'S WEAR

La Perla at South Coast Plaza offers the ultimate in sexy lingerie and swimwear that make perfect Valentine's Day gifts. Its exquisite hand-finished Leavers lace lingerie is made on ancient looms in Calais, France. Four lace collections, from couture to moderate-priced pieces, are available.

And its beautiful swimwear is like no other. Who could forget Halle Berry in her La Perla suits as the Bond girl in "Die Another Day"? Conventional wisdom is that La Perla swimsuits are for when you want to kick back and look hot all day. (They’re not for swimming laps.) Prices range from $300 to $600.

Other luxurious lines available include sexy ready-to-wear with built-in bras, bustiers, garters, T-shirts, body suits, seamless underwear and cotton wear. And don't miss the best men's underwear money can buy: Grigio Perla.

Currently La Perla's fall ready-to-wear is 60% off, which include bustiers, dresses, lingerie and some swimsuits.

Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Level 1 at South Coast Plaza 714.754.7500 .
