Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you can’t wear a beautiful slip dress.Â I receivedÂ an email from Polyvore this week talking about the top Stand Out Styles and #1 was a slip dress. Honestly I haven’t given a slip dress much thought, but while looking I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. This is such a versatile dress that can be worn for a day function, slammed up for an evening event or even a glamour session with us.

I adore this casual option. The jean jacket paired with some nice flats add just enough of a pop to this beautiful dress. And don’t forget a necklace!

A little more than the last outfit, this one could be worn any time of day. I love the addition of a sweater with the slip dress! I never would have thought of that. And the ankle boots are cute and pair so well with the sweater.

Lastly I wanted to show you a night wear option. The color of this dress is gorgeous, and paired with a beautiful coat and some strappy heels, it really pushes this dress into a fantastic night option. Of course I would add a necklace and some earrings 😉

Do you have a slip dress in your closet that you wear? What’s your favorite addition to it?

Let me tell you a little secret, I have an affinity for beautiful lingerie. I love browsing various sites seeing what is out there. I was so inspired by my browsing today, I had to share with you a few amazing pieces I found. These would be perfect for a night in, or a photo shoot with us ;), heck why not both?!!!

I wanted to show off some one piece items first. The two long gowns on the right are amazingly stunning! I can imagine them flowing with the fan blowing on you as we use for some shoots. The teddy and kimono are a gorgeous jewel tone that would compliment any skin tone. If a chemise is more of your style this silver with lace details is perfect. And when I saw the white with black lace short one piece I was really intrigued because I’ve never seen a piece of lingerie like that. Typically if you wanted that look you had to wear two pieces, so I like this because it’s a different option.

I love garter belts, or panties with built in garters. There is something to timeless and classic about these pieces. I like how the two black pieces have the garter straps attached to the panties. You’ll also notice how they are more of a high waister, more coverage panty as opposed to the itty bitty panties that are usually sold to go along with the garter. Buy what you like and feel comfortable in!

What’s your preference ladies? What inspires you from what I’ve shared today? I’m guessing there will be lots of new lingerie showing going on this weekend with it being Valentine’s Day 😉

Happy Valentine’s Day ladies! Call today to book your session and give your significant other some photos in that new lingerie that will have them thinking back on this Valentine’s Day for years to come.

What do you all think of today’s lingerie? Do you like it? Think it’s too revealing? Wish there were other options? If so, you should try to find some vintage inspired lingerie. It has more of a modest look to it, but still conveys sexy and stylish. Now I’m not saying there is anything wrong with anything you currently own (I own some too!), but let’s face it, we are all different and our tastes run the spectrum.

Vintage panties tend to have a higher waistline, and come down further on your hips. I love this look! A long skirt with garter attachments is beautiful and can hide any leg areas you want covered.

One thing that is pretty consistent with vintage lingerie pieces isÂ soft colors, and usually some lace overlay.

So what do you think ladies? Do you like the vintage feel of these pieces, or are you more of a traditional gal?

It’s all in the details ladies, right?! You can’t Â pull off a great party or event without the minor details. Even minor details to an outfit can move it from ok to WOW. It’s no different with lingerie. Beautiful lace or embroidery can really move a bra from ho hum to outstanding.

The shawl type lace of the black left bra, and the right bra are just stunning, and the matching panties complete the set. I love how the lace back detail mirrors the lace back on the panties in the far right set. Imagine a photo from the back in that delicate set. The last bra has this beautiful lace halter. I can picture it now, hair pulled up and hand on your collar bone; simply stunning!

If a bra and panty set has caught your eye, see if there is a matching garter. That’s another way to bring in minor details with your lingerie. A one piece outfit with strategically placedÂ lace is a fantastic option too.

Tell me ladies, do you have lingerie that has some beautiful details? What’s your favorite from what I’ve shared today?

I know I said it last week, but Valentine’s Day is coming up! Come on girls, this is supposed to be the most romantic day of the year. What better gift is there than some gorgeous, glamorous, sensual photos of you to your special loved one?

Picture this: you set up a date night somewhere nice. You come out of the bedroom ready to go wearing a new dress (outfit, whatever you are comfortable in) and give your present to be opened before. In this swanky album (or centerfold, prints, acrylic, it’s up to you!) the photos will start out with you wearing the exact outfit you are wearing. Slowly, the pictures will start to reveal some new undergarments that are sure to raise some eyebrows on your significant other. And of course you will be wearing said undergarments. Then it’s off to dinner! All night your partnerÂ will be thinking about if you are wearing the same items underneath, and probably many other things as well ; )

Burlesque inspirations for Valentines Day !

Danea does complimentary wardrobe consultations. What better chance to give the best Valentine’s gift ever! Call today to book your session and set up your wardrobe consultation.

February is fast approaching ladies, and you know what that means right? Valentine’s Day!! What better gift can you give than picking out some sexy new lingerie and having some steamy, sensual photos taken in them?! There pretty much is no better gift. It’s sure to make a Valentine’s Day neither of you will forget any time soon.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about red, but because that’s what everyone thinks immediately I wanted to show some nice options.

Instead of choosing a fire engine red, how about a beautiful bordeaux color?

This shade of red is much more photogenic than the screaming reds. This would look amazing paired with some black stocking and shoes, or even with cream/nude stockings and shoes. Remember the biggest part in choosing lingerie is picking what you feel beautiful in, and what fits best no matter what the size label says!! We won’t be shooting the label and sometimes we even have to cut it out of your lingerie lol.

No more excuses ladies! Now is the best time to call to book your Valentine’s Day shoot and receive your product before the big day. You might even get to shoot in our amazing newÂ studio!

Date night is coming up, you want to wear something new, what do you choose? What about a jumpsuit?!! Hear me out, these are not the jumpsuits that probably pop into your mind at first thought. These are sophisticated, beautiful one piece outfits that can go from day to night very easily.

Look at this!

This pink one is gorgeous! I’ve never seen one like that before but man it is stunning.

I love the sleeves on this one. It adds such a unique detail, and while I wouldn’t personally chooseÂ these shoes with it, it’s a gorgeousÂ jumpsuit.

A short jumpsuit is a great option as well. They’re not just for summer; a pair of tights or stockings would be a great addition.

Do you have a jumpsuit? What do you think of them? How would you wear it? Dress it up ladies and have a great date night!
