What to Wear Wednesday | Campbell San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

There are so many different fashion trends that come and go across the years. One year it’ll be in, the next out and eventually a few years pass and it’s all the rage again.

One trend I see over and over again for this year is the Bohemian style look. This look is signified by their fun patterns, loose flowy material and a very casual overall look.

Let me share with you some of the great Boho styles I’ve come across.

The pattern of this skirt is beautiful and you can tell by looking that it would be so comfortable to wear. I love pairing it with a flat pair of simple sandals and worn with a cream colored top. The hat really makes this outfit too, if you’re a hat person.

I love this patterned top. Seriously I want it for my own.

It looks great paired with denim shorts and some fun sandals.

These Boho pattern shorts look fantastic paired with this cream colored romantic top.

And of course you cannot forget about a gorgeous pattern Boho style dress! I’ve got several for you to choose from.

What do you think ladies? Is this a style you wear? Can you see yourself wearing something that I’ve shared with you today?

What to Wear Wednesday | Mountain View Los Altos Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

I love finding new websites and new things to share with you. Do you ever feel that you are just seeing the same thing over and over and over in different stores? I know I do. So, this website I’ve stumbled across is called Lulu’s, and they have some super cute clothes!

Today I want to focus on some of their fantasticÂ dresses, since the temperature is rising and that means most people want to wear as little clothes as possible and dresses are a great option for that.

I love maxi dresses, or at least dresses that are roughly knee length. I enjoy that I found some fun patterns that I haven’t seen anywhere and of course the obligatory black maxi dress.

If you do like knee length dresses there are plenty of options as well. I can say that I am truly in love with this middle teal colored dress.

If you are more of a shorter dress lover there are plenty of options too. Some of these even caught my eye.

They really do have something for everyone’s style and look you are going for. From modest to more revealing, fun colors and patterns, long and short. Take a look around and show me your favorite!

How To Feel Sexy | San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Portrait Photographer

Sometimes you need to be shown how beautiful you are…

All women struggle with feeling beautiful and confident. There are so many things in life that get in our way, change how we feel or how we look and sometimes we need a little reminder. I had the gorgeous Miss D in for a session a couple months ago. She was nervous but excited. She allowed us to play with her adorable pixie cut for some playful spikes, it looked fabulous on her! We raided the studio wardrobe for this elegant dress and a sparkly necklace. The low cut front and leg slits showed off all her gorgeous assets. She looked amazing and as always I love to see the transformation from shy and nervous to confident and strong. Miss D has it going on!

Those eyes!

This dress is a studio piece and looks amazing on!

Next, we got a little playful with this sexy little number, also a studio piece. We paired it with this gorgeous mask for the perfect match.

Seduction. When you feel beautiful, it can happen without even trying.

Miss D is wonderfully tall, perfectly shown off in this image. What you don’t see in this set is how much we laughed throughout her session. Some of these poses are not the most natural. Hahaha Modeling can be hard, but it can be rewarding also. After showing Miss D a few images on the back of the camera she did her best not to cry with excitement. I was able to show her how stunningly beautiful she is. To me, that has greater value than the images alone. I know I have said this a lot but there is so much more to a Boudoir Coterie photo shoot than having your picture taken, it’s an experience every woman should have. We all need to feel beautiful, sensual and confident.

Why yes, I do shoot topless, but I am not allowed to show it on my website. I think I found a way around this. 😉 If sensual images fit your style, then these sexy sheet set shots are the way to go.

Miss D was amazing and brave. For someone so nervous about being in front of the camera, she completely stepped out of her comfort zone and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Her images are stunning and sensual. the perfect portrayal of this gorgeous woman.

You were a pleasure to work with, Miss D. Stay sexy!

What to Wear Wednesday | Campbell San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

You weren’t expecting me today, were you?!! I like to keep you all on your toes a bit. My weekly fashion posts will now be on Wednesday so keep an eye out to lift you out of that mid week slump.

So, what are we going to talk about today? Well, it has been super hot here the last few days and it made me think of flowy material and wearing something super comfy. which leads me to jumpsuits. They are super comfy, can be casual or dressy, and depending on which one you choose I think can even be worn to work. Let me show you some of what I’ve come across.

This yellow jumpsuit is gorgeous and a great color choice for the season.

You can wear this jumpsuit with some white heels or wedges and totally pull this look off for work or a date night out.

A pattern fabric is a great choice as well.

If you prefer a more neutral color, there are so many black fabric choices. Here are a few of my favorites that I found.

I love the different neckline and straps on each. And pockets?! I love pockets on outfits like these!

If I had you at the patterned jumpsuits, look at these.

I love the one shoulder look, and that purple with green flowers is so elegant looking. Either again are great for a work to date night look.

What do you like ladies? Can you see yourself wearing any of these?

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but swimsuit season is right around the corner. Today I wanted to highlight swimsuits. Recently in the news there has been some praise for Target for using plus size models in their swimsuit campaigns. I wanted to share some of their plus size suits I found online.

I love Target. It’s convenient, there’s one on every corner, and they have cute stuff. I enjoy featuring things that you can get locally; that when you see it you can go to your local store and try it on for yourself. So please, if you see something here today that you like, see if your local store has it and go try it on! Take a few sizes into the fitting room with you as every clothing manufacturer cuts their sizes differently.

First off I’ll show you some one pieces. Not everyone is comfortable in a bikini or tankini, so these suits are for you if you are more comfortable in a 1 piece.

If there’s one thing that you should have learned by now from me, it’s about adding detail to your look. I love these suits above for their detail. The white crocheting around the bust is amazing. The black crochet and the straps of the top suit add that little bit extra, and I love the contrast of the solid black and the summery pattern in the left photo.

Ok, so what if a 2 piece is your style, but you prefer a tankini 2 piece rather than a bikini? Of course I’ve got you covered there as well.

Summery colors, halter type straps, flowy comfortable fabric, and some extra glitz are why I chose these tankinis. I like that you can mix and match these pieces. There are many different styles of bottoms to choose from so you really can pick your own style and make it unique.

And for those that prefer a bikini, here’s my choices for you.

The back of the top bikini?!!! Wow I love it. Again it’s just that little detail that really makes an outfit and a bathing suit is no different. I love the tropical print of the left suit and the contrast of the two different patterns of the right suit.

Most of us loath this upcoming swimsuit season, but get out there and try some different patterns on! Finding one that fits well, no matter what the size says on the label, will make you feel more comfortable. And finding one that is cute just adds to that!

What’s your favorite of the suits today? Do you prefer a patterned swimsuit or a solid color? Bikini, tankini or one piece?

I enjoy seeing what the current styles and trends are, not that I necessarily follow them. I’m very much a jeans and t-shirt girl, but today I’ve found a hot trend that I think I can pull off these upcoming warmer months.

Sneakers and a dress.

This ultra casual but still put together look screams comfort, but not wanting to wear your everyday jeans. There are so. many different ways to wear this trend too. See what I’ve found.

You can easily pair a maxi dress with some canvas sneakers for a casual put together summer look.

Maybe you’re the type of person who likes to add a pop of color to your outfit, well I’ve got you covered there! Do it with your shoes.

Looking for an even more laid back look? Try pairing your cotton dress with some slip on sneakers.

Maybe none of these suit you, and that’s ok. Let me show you one more idea.

I think this is probably my favorite look. Makes me want to get a pair of black sneakers to pair with my black cotton dresses!

How do you like this style ladies? Is this something that you have worn in the past or can see yourself wearing this summer? How would you wear it?
