This past weekend at the Curvy Girl Lingerie Show, I was introduced to a new (to me) name in lingerie, Coquette. Holy Cow ladies! This is some beautiful stuff! Sexy, sensual, glamorous, and even a bit naughty! Take a look at some of my favorite pieces, found on the Curvy Girl Lingerie website.

Up first a gorgeous Merlot color babydoll. The top of this is stunning! I love the little cap sleeves and the almost fully sheer top. The little ribbon trim at the bottom with the bow is a nice addition.

Another piece I saw while browsing was this beautiful purple chemise. Miss Saucye West is wearing the piece named after her in this photo, and this is what she modeled at the fashion show. It is so stunning in person ladies! And I think you can see by the photo how beautiful this chemise is. From the detail around the bust to the black trim around the piece itself, this might end up being one of your favorites!

Another fun piece I saw was this waist clincher. I love that it ties up the back, so it will easily accommodate any size. And adding the ruffle panties gives it a little something extra.

Last, but certainly not least is a fabulous black brocade corset. Paired with booty shorts this is a great look for your bedroom, or a boudoir shoot!

When you think of doing a boudoir shoot, you probably start thinking about lingerie; what you currently have that can work, or maybe that special little outfit you’ve had your eye on for that just right occasion. But what if I said you didn’t need all lingerie for your boudoir session?! Would you think I’m crazy?

Seriously ladies, you don’t need to have all lingerie! Danea can work wonders with any special item that you bring in. Let me show you some ideas!

A sweater can be just as sexy as your favorite lingerie. And what’s nice about bringing in a piece of regular clothing is that every time your significant other sees you in it, they’ll think about those sexy, sensual photos you took!

 How about his favorite tie?! That’ll send him over the edge every time he wears it!

Think outside the box ladies! What do you have sitting around, or can sneak away, that you can use for your session? Bring it, and Danea can make it sexy. The most important thing is that you feel amazing in what you bring. If it’s special to you (or him/her) it’ll bring a special smile to your face that will come across in your photos. So, what do you have lying around that would be great for your shoot?

A simple accessory can really add to the look of your outfit. I’m thinking of something that we all probably have in our closet, just sitting there waiting to be worn. Some are to keep you warm, but mainly this accessory is for the look it gives. Know what I’m talking about?

Scarfing

 

Scarfs make one of the best fashion accessories. Since there are so many styles and types of scarfs they are an easy choice for a go to accessory.
You can find lightweight choices to jazz up a summer outfit

Or a nice, warm, chunky scarf to wear in the winter

Scarfs look really good with those tall boots sitting in your closet waiting to wear this winter.
It's a Wrap! Fun Fall Scarves

 

There are so many different ways to tie a scarf for different looks too. Sometimes tying it differently can add to the look of your outfit. Here is something I ran across on Pinterest and have saved for reference (click on the photo to be taken to the website).
scarf
This site is seriously the know all on how to tie a scarf. I never realized how many different ways, I have my old standby that I always use.
You can pick up a scarf at any store and they are fairly inexpensive. Just like everything though you can purchase some pricey ones! Go with what you like. Solid, pattern, chunky, lightweight, infinity, blanket; whatever you like! That’s what your wardrobe is about. Finding things you like and wearing them so you feel good.
Do you reach for a scarf to jazz up an outfit ladies? What’s your favorite that you have? How do you like wearing it?

We all have that one outfit that is simple and understated but makes us feel amazing. A few pieces put together can help lift your spirits, or at least mine it does mine!

It can be something as simple as wearing your favorite pair of heels with a t-shirt and jeans, or a sexy new bra and panty set under a typical every day work outfit. You’ll know you’ve got something sexy going on underneath and it can really bring a smile to your face.

I love this set below. Simple and understated, but man those heels really help pull this outfit out of an ordinary day look.

Time Out

 

Other accessories can help bring that spark to a normal outfits; a new statement necklace, or a new purse, maybe even a gorgeous new color on your lips.
Share with me ladies; what is your favorite way to jazz up an ordinary outfit and put a spring in your step?

Let’s bring it on back to some beautiful lingerie on the blog today ladies. It can be tough to find a style of lingerie that fits every body shape, but there is one universal piece and that’s what we’re gonna chat about today.

A chemise is a beautiful slip piece of lingerie. Usually made of satin, these are soft and delicate, but can also be lacy and see through. You can usually find a matching robe or kimono to accompany your chemise.

matching chemise sets

 

A matching robe can really add to the look of your chemise. Some woman aren’t comfortable in just the chemise so the accompanying robe is a great choice.
I feel this type of lingerie fits every body style because it’s not figure hugging for those who do not want that look, but for those that do there certainly are lace pieces. The straps are adjustable on these so if you need a bit of extra support you can adjust them for your girls.
The satin chemise and robe are a great choice for your boudoir shoot and for the bedroom (or behind closed doors). This is a very popular style for bridal lingerie too. Don’t forget your stilettos!
What do you think ladies, is this your style? With robe, or without robe? Satin or lace?

I have to admit, I love a bit of the vintage look when it comes to lingerie. While I can appreciate all the tiny, itty bitty pieces of today’s lingerie, I adore the classic look. Long, flowy gowns; fuller, longer bottom pieces, and some vintage lace.

Gorgeous Gatsby
Adding elbow length gloves to your sexy bra & panty set is a great idea and can really add that vintage feel. Wearing stockings with your vintage panty set it another way to add a classic look. A long classic gown (can you picture it from a classic black & white movie!) is so beautiful. Picture yourself stretched out in a door frame wearing that; so hot!
Another vintage looks that I love and can appreciate is garters! I love the wide garter belts, or the high panties that have the garter hooks built in. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy with the time we live in and that I don’t have to dress like that daily, but love this look for a boudoir shoot or special evening.

What do you feel about the vintage look ladies? Like or dislike? Do you have any lingerie or wardrobe pieces that have a vintage look to them?

I wanna talk about a new trend I’ve been seeing that I adore; lacy bralettes. These cute little guys are all over but today I wanna touch on the ones available at Target. They are comfy, sexy, and inexpensive; especially when you take into account that they are currently on sale buy one get one half off.

I’m sure you’ve seen the bra’s I’m talking about. They scream summer and are great for those tank tops that are cut a bit too different for a traditional bra. Bralettes are a great choice because if you’re gonna show your bra it might as well be something cute.

Target bralette
I love that Target has some different options. The mint green has a beautiful lace detail on the racerback while the black bra can transform from a regular back to a racerback. The lace on the front is pretty as well. I like that the pink is more of a traditional bra (in case you are not a fan of lacy things!) plus the pink gives more support that a traditional bralette gives, which lets be honest, is slim to none.
One more photo of a few more I wanted to point out. Target has traditional cotton ones as well that seem to offer more support. There are more lacy options that have a little bit of a lace band under the bust, then there is also a keyhole front with a bit of sheer material.
Target bralettes

 

You can pretty much find any type of bralette at Target, and other stores. But let’s face it, who doesn’t have at least one Target within a 5 mile radius. What’s your favorite of the ones I’ve posted? Have you seen a favorite from somewhere else? Do you already have some and wear them? What’s your style to wear them? I wanna hear you ladies!
