When you think of doing a boudoir session, what type of outfits come to mind? Lingerie? Bra & panty set? Stockings? A teddy? You would be right, but there are other options too. Some women feel more comfortable in a more relaxed outfit, such as some boy shorts, a sexy v-neck shirt, and some tall socks.

The main thing about the session is to choose what you feel beautiful, sexy and comfortable in. Above would be more my style lol. I’m a very “jeans & t-shirt” type of gal.

I like that they chose a strappy bra to peek out of the top. Some full bottom panties and tall socks or even leg warmers are a great option. With fall and winter approaching a chunky sweater is another great choiceÂ instead of a t-shirt. It’s so important, even in every day life, to feel comfortable in whatever you are choosing to wear. If you aren’t comfortable and your tugging your shirt down, or adjusting your panties every 2 seconds, you probably won’t come off as your best.

There isn’t really any right or wrong way (ok, there might be a little wrong lol) to dress yourself daily or for your boudoir session with us. Make sure what you are choosing fits well regardless of the number or letter on the tag. If it fits right you will feel good!

P.S. Boudoir Coterie offers complimentary wardrobe consultations for every client!

You’ve probably seen me mention “statement necklace” a few times and maybe you are wondering what exactly I’m talking about. This is something that Danea taught me, and now I’m going to pass this wonderful knowledge on to you.

A statement necklace is something more than just a chain and a charm. It will be a piece that might be bigger than you’ve worn before, but once added to an outfit it can change the whole look. It can help to make a dress “dressier”, or it can help transform your look from day to night.

There are many online shops you can find statement pieces at. Some of my favorites are Francesca’sÂ (they have their own category for statement necklaces!), and Kohl’s. We all know Kohl’s is always having a sale so you can pick up some pieces at great prices. I’ve even found a few on clearance for around $6.

These are some of my favorites from Francesca’s. They have a store location in Los Gatos and in Palo Alto.

Of course a colored necklace can be a great choice as well.

Â You can find a really great piece of jewelry almost anywhere you shop. Keep your eyes open and look around! I hope this has inspired you to invest inÂ at least one necklace that glam up your wardrobe a bit. And make sure you bring your favorite one with you when you come in to see us for your boudoir shoot!

Bridal season is happening all aroundÂ us!! There are so many different options you can do for your bridal session. Many brides tend to stick with white, and while that is great, there’s nothing wrong with adding a bit of color if that is more your style.

The blues in this pictureÂ are beautiful and say “Bridal” just as well as white.

You can personalize your session even more by bringing in your bridal jewelry, shoes and veil. Â You mayÂ even choose something for your session that is comfortable enough to wear under your dress on your big day.

Many brides choose to give their Groom an album as hisÂ gift before the wedding. Just think of the twinkle in his eye as you are walking down the aisle to him, and the even bigger twinkle in his eye later that night when you show him what is under your dress.

What are you waiting for? Contact us today to book your beautiful bridal session!

It’s Friday! It has been so hot this week. And worse than just hot, humid. When it’s this hot and muggy you don’t really feel like wearing clothes, so what’s the best choice? A maxi dress! There are so many cute options. Every store you go into has some nice choices. Locally I’ve found many cute ones at Old Navy, Ross and Kohl’s.

I love this one! The colors and the pattern are beautiful.

I’m a sucker for anything with black and white, and this would look great in my closet 😉

This is another favorite that I came across.

Â What I really like about maxi dresses isÂ how versatile they are. You can transition them from a day to night look very easily. Throw on a jean jacket or a blazer for the office, some cute strappy sandals or heels, and don’t forget some gorgeous statement jewelry.

Hey all, Devon here with another Fashion Friday. When I saw this set I knew that it would be perfect for this weeks edition. It goes perfectlyÂ with the show special that Boudoir Coterie will be offering at the Curvy Girl Lingerie Fashion Show.

These are some great options for your boudoir session. With booking the show special you bring 3 outfits to be photographed in. One of those outfits can be a white sheet session if you would like. Who doesn’t look good lying naked on a bed with a sheet strategically draped over them 😉

I love that it gives you several ideas of 4 different options. Of course you do not have to use these ideas, go with what you feel comfortable and sexy in! A robe or see through lace top like in the top photos. A sexy brief & bra set like in the next set of photos. A corset which is sure to show off your girls and curvy waistline (if you choose to bring a corset or a garter belt, make sure you bring stockings to go with them! Please stay away from the stay ups as those are difficult to fit into the snap on the garter strap). Â A tank or cami set is another nice option for those who might feel a little shy. Let’s face it, there are some nerves happening when you are wearing next to nothing in front of someone you’ve never meet who is yielding a camera!

Whatever you outfits you decide on, remember that you can schedule a wardrobe consultation with Danea, and what better place to go that Curvy Girl Lingerie in our own backyard. Danea & Chrystal will help you choose the perfect outfits for your sexy photo session.

Hi ladies! Devon here with this weeks Fashion Friday. I’m so excited to share some ideas with you today. And actually I’m going to be sharing them with you every week as I’ll now be authoring all the Fashion Friday posts.

Today I thought it would be nice to show some examples of the outfits Danea suggested for the new 2015 Summer Special.

Danea’s first suggestion was a little black dress. Who doesn’t have at least one LBD in their closet? I know I have at least 3! Everyone loves a little black dress because it helps us feel a bit sexy and a bit sassy.

Don’t forget your favorite stiletto’s and that statementÂ piece of jewelry. If your shoes aren’t black that’s ok. Who doesn’t love a pop of color with a black dress.

Next up we have the gowns. We all have at least one fancy dress that weÂ wore to that wedding and now it just sits in the closet gathering dust?! Short, long, tea length, whatever yours looks like, ifÂ it makes you feel good then bring it!

You know that one pair of jeans you have? THAT ONE PAIR that fits so well it hugs every curve of your body and you make you feel amazing. We wanna see them! Your favorite jeans will look great paired with your favorite blouse and some cute ankle booties.

I came across this pin on Pinterest (I’m addicted!) and thought this was a great time to pass this information along to you. The tips are pretty helpful, but of course do what you feel looks best for you and your body type. You can read the full article here.

I hope this helps you ladies plan your outfits for the Summer Special. I know what’s going through your head right now, “My jeans would look great with that blouse in my closet and I have the perfect shoes”. Call us today and show them off!

Â Devon

We’ve had several beautiful ladies come in to our San Jose studio recently with some special sportswear of their fiancee’s. Does your significant other have a favorite team, player, or do they play a sport and have their own jersey? Â This can be a great way to personalize your session with something special. If that special jersey is huge on you, try a girl cut tee instead. Did you know there is a website especially for women’s professional sports wear?! This can be a great way to personalize a bit of your session with something meaningful, while still showing your sensual side.

Here are some great options; a longer shirt if you aren’t as daring, or a short crop or even folded shirt to really show off! Victoria’s Secret has a great half-zip sweater for their favorite college team. Whatever look you go for, you can be sure that theyÂ will go crazy when they see you. Imagine the smile on theirÂ face every time they see theirÂ favorite team play from now on!

We want your Boudoir Coterie photo session to be amazing and adding a personal touch is a great way to show off another side of you!
