In light of today’s horrendous weather, I want to think and talk about some warmer weather! Spring is, hopefully, coming soon. Still a bit of a chill in the air, but those days are starting to get warmer then as we approach summer.

Some great spring wear ideas I came across include wearing layers, lightweight dresses, and of course some beautiful pastel choices. Let me show you what I’m talking about.

A light layer could something as simple as a jean jacket or a cardigan. Either is a great option for layering.

A Kimono can be a great choice for layering as well. I can picture seeing this outfit on someone at a local farmer’s market on a weekend morning.

Then of course there are the colors that you see on most clothing in Spring, and some select color combinations. I feel there is a line drawn in wearing pastel colors in Spring and wearing more pronounced colors in Summer. A great color combination for Spring includes coral.

That can include a pop of it,

Maybe a gorgeous pair of slacks

Or perhaps a fantastic coat for those still cool mornings and nights

This outfit screams Spring to me, I think it’s the stripes of the top and the racerback cut of it. I love it. You don’t have to pair it with such a bold jacket either, think something soft for Spring.

Tell me ladies, what outfits or pieces are you looking forward to wearing this upcoming Spring?

I try to stay away from sharing things that are trending, but I really like this one today and like how versatile this trending item can be. It’s a lace dress, ladies. They are so beautiful and come in so many different styles.

There are beautiful lace dresses in short or long lengths, and of course come in various colors. Let me share some of the few favorites I found browsing online.

If you prefer a longer dress, look at these.

I am really loving that black dress! My favorite thing about it is where it hits on the leg; I love the classic look of a dress that hits right below the knee. I also love how both the blue and black dresses have a bit of extra unlined lace at the bottom. The light pink dress is another great option for a lace dress. This one has a bit more of a swinging type skirt but still has that beautiful lace detail.

If you prefer a short dress, look at these options.

These all still have some beautiful details, as the should! I love the eyelash lace trim on the far left blue dress, and how the black and far right pink dress have that unlined lace at the bottom. I love the addition of the tie on the top middle dress. It’s such a simple addition but really makes the dress. And the bottom middle dress is a beautiful figure hugging lace dress.

One nice thing about a style that is trending is that you can find one within your price range since most stores carry them. Just by looking online I’ve found some at Target, Macy’s, and Nordstrom.

Do you have a lace dress? Do you love one that I posted? Let me know!

Danea was recently contacted by a local mall lingerie store, Soma Intimates, to come in and share her gorgeousÂ work with their customers. Pretty amazing, huh?! In light of that I thought I’d highlight some of their items that have caught my eye, and there are plenty.

First off about something red and lacy for Valentine’s Day. Each bra has a coordinating panty for you to choose from as well.

For those of you who happen to be a bit more supple up top, they have some beautiful bras for you as well. That’s one thing I really am loving about this store, they have sizes for everyone. Some mall stores, who shall remain nameless, really only cater to small girls, and their bra sizes are not true bra sizes. These are!

If you’re looking for more of a lingerie type style item, they’ve got you covered there too. Check out some pieces I found.

I am seeing a shopping trip here in my future. I am loving their bras and some of this lingerie! If you see something that catches your eye, stop in the Valley Fair location this coming Thursday night, February 9. Danea will be there from 4pm-8pm. She’s running some amazing booking specials which you can see below.

If you’ve been thinking about meeting Danea, or booking a session, this is a fantastic opportunity that you should not miss out on. Don’t miss out on this event! Hope to see you there.

I always enjoy sharing a variety of items with you all, and how you can achieve a similar look based on your style. There are so many different ways to

Some people are more comfortable with a modest look, while some women probably think “Hell, I’m here; let’s do this and go with a daring look”. And of course there are always some of us in between.

Let’s take a style icon and look at different ways to pull this style off no matter what you are comfortable wearing.

Coco Chanel is a huge style icon and these looks above show that style perfectly.

The modest look of a gorgeous long sleeve high cut style bodysuit is perfect. I love the addition of the belt, pearls of course, and a broach!

The classic look of this teddy with a tie at the neck is a perfect example. It’s a prefect mash up of a bit daring while still being covered. The combo of black and pink are a must if you are channeling Coco. Adding those black gloves if the finishing touch for this look.

And daring, wow talk about a daring look! This bra & panty don’t leave anything to the imagination. Again with a black and pink classic color combination. The long pearls draped around your neck with some fantastic black leather boots. I can see you picturing this in your minds ladies.

What do you think ladies? Are you pulled in one direction more than the others? Which style do you feel more comfortable with?

I’ve stumbled upon another new lingerie company that I’m eager to share with you. This isn’t only a lingerie company; they’ve got some pretty dresses I’m going to show you as well. Just like last week, you can find this line of lingerie in stores likeÂ Norsdstrom, so you can actually go in and see the items in person and try them on.

Let me introduce you to For Love and Lemons! This line of lingerie has a lot of pretty detail, but doesn’t leave much to the imagination.

Beautiful, huh?!!! I like that they offer a full panty or thong choice to match with each bra. Their attention to detail on the front of the bras and panties continues to the back of the set too.

Here are a few more bra and panty sets, and a gorgeous one piece.

Again their attention to detail is just beautiful. These are some great pieces for your upcoming Valentine’s Day ladies!

As I said above they don’t only have lingerie, I found some pretty dresses as well.

Aren’t they gorgeous!

These pieces I’ve shared with you today are simply what can be found at Nordstrom; there are so many more piecesÂ on their website. If you don’t mind ordering lingerie online take a look because there are so many more fantastic options.

Share with me what you like or something you found on their site that you love.

In my search for what to post this week, I’ve stumbled upon a new to me lingerie brand, which is perfect timing as Valentine’s Day is just about a month away. Who doesn’t like new lingerie for V-day?!

What I like about this company is you can purchase in stores, such as Nordstrom and Macy’s, as well as online. I’ve always had trouble when purchasing items online, I’d really rather be able to try them on to see how they fit. Let me share with you some of my favorite things from Free People.

I love that there seems to be something for everyone’s taste. They have some items that don’t have a lot of detail, then others that are beautifully detailed.

If bodysuits aren’t your things, what about a bra & panty set…

I love the little ruffles and the top strap on the panties in the bottom set. The top set caught my eye with the high waisted panty and the back of the bra.

If a slip is more of your style, they’ve got plenty to choose from as well.

They’ve got short slips and long slips, but every one has some sort of special something; lace to those little buttons on the back of the top red one. Eeeek! There really is something for everyone.

Take a look around their website I’ve linked above; what do you like? What’s your favorite from what I’ve posted? Can you see yourself in one of them? Hope you are inspired for your upcoming Valentine’s Day.

It is California cold today ladies. Holy moly! I am cold down to my bones and cannot get warm. When I stumbled upon this current trend it made me wish I was wearing it. I see a shopping trip in my future. What is it? A chunky turtleneck sweater. It even sounds warm and toasty.

This can be a pretty versatile piece of clothing for your wardrobe that can be dressed up or down depending on what you choose to wear on your bottom half.

Of course for a more casual look, pair it with jeans.

Or for an even more casual look, ditch the boots and wear some sneakers.

Or another look with jeans, for a more dressy casual look, try pairing your sweater and jeans with some flats or heels. That’s a sure way to glam up a pair of jeans.

For a work attire look, try pairing a neutral colored sweater with some gorgeous colored slacks. And some heels!

For another work look, try pairing your sweater with a skirt. If it’s cold outside don’t forget some tights!

Do you have one of these gorgeous sweaters? What’s your favorite way to wear it? Do you dress down or glam it up?
