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.

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.

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.

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!

I love being able to wear the same wardrobe piece throughout different seasons, but it can be hard to transform it. Â Today I’m gonna touch on different ideas on how to wear the same staple piece each season.

Your first step is to find a great staple wardrobe piece. Today I’m using a spaghetti strap dress as an example.

Let’s start with the top left look, Winter. A beautiful jewel toned heave scarf paired with a pair of knee length boots is such a great way to wear this dress during the cold season. Wearing some tights for a bit of extra warmth would be a great addition.

Spring means you can wear the dress almost without a sweater, but you know those Spring evenings can still be a bit chilly. A lightweight sweater helps to transform this look into something for this season.

Ah Summer, the time where you can really wear this without a jacket, however the jean jacket is a great option for a cooler summer day. A pair of strappy wedges helps this dress to scream summer.

Autumn, Fall, whatever you wanna call it. With a slight chill in the air, you’ll probably want to wear a light jacket for some warmth. A light scarf is a great accessory and some ankle booties are a great footwear choice. I would add some leggings too if it’s a bit cooler in your area.

What would your staple wardrobe piece be that you can transform throughout all 4 seasons? What would be your favorite ways to wear it each season? Share some photos of your ideas with me!

In my search for something to bring to you this week I browsed through some of my usual places. When I hit Agent Provocateur I knew I had to share some of their new pieces with you. Amazingly, stunning and sexy pieces ladies! Seriously, I’m drooling over here.

Check out this intricate black lace teddy.

This would look great for a woman whose breasts are on the smaller side (I can say that as I am one!).

This 3 piece set is just beautiful. The color is amazing and will compliment any skin tone. There are so many details in this set; from the gold colorÂ to the lace to the eyelash fringe. It makes a stunning look.

This is my favorite of their new pieces, because this is something I can see myself wearing. The top would be flattering for any bust size, and I love how the garters are included in the panty piece. I also like that the panties are a more full sided look than briefs, typical of a vintage style.

For those of you really like to push the boundaries, here is a piece for you! It really is amazing, but doesn’t leave much to the imagination. Pasties not included 😉

What do you think of these new pieces? What is your favorite? Any you can see yourself wearing?

I love having wardrobe pieces that can go from one season to another. It’s nice to have pieces like this that way you can spend a little more money on one piece rather than buying inexpensive pieces to wear for only one season. One specific piece that you can wear in any season is a shirtdress. There are many options and ways to style whenever you are wearing it.

Â This beautiful white sleeveless shirtdress can be dressed up with heels for a Spring night out with the girls, or worn with a cardigan and tights for a winter look.

Â Wearing shorts under a shirtdress is another great way to wear this.

It's a Shirt! It's a Dress! It's a Shirtdress!

A beautiful coat is a great choice to wear with a shirtdress. I love these colors!!

A long sleeve shirtdress is great to wear in Autumn, Winter or even those chilly days in Spring. I love the stripes on this one.

Another long sleeve option is a much more casual look. This would be great to wear in the Spring or even those cool Summer nights.

Do you have a shirtdress you wear during multiple seasons? What’s your favorite way to wear it? Let me know!

I’ve been seeing a few women wearing a crocheted top while I’ve been out and about. They are very beautiful and a great summer style. Now, you’re probably thinking some midriff style top when I say crochet, and yes there are some like that but I’m going to show you other styles that all women can pull off.

This top is amazingly beautiful and is a perfect look for the office. Paired with white or black pants and some heels you are set for a stunning day to night look as well.

Perhaps you are looking for a more casual style, I’ve got you covered there too.

A crocheted top over a tank paired with some comfy jeans and sandals screams relaxed and is a great choice for going to the beach, or a morning stroll at the local farmer’s market.

Of course there are tank top styles as well. Paired a pair of tailoredÂ shorts this look is great and isÂ perfect for this warm summer weather.

The last look I’m going to share with you today is another upscale look like we started with. Paired with a pencil skirt and some flattering shoes a crocheted top can be that standout accessory for your evening out.

Alright ladies, do you have a crocheted top or shrug that you love to wear? What style is it? What do you wear it with? Is it more of a dress up or casual look? As always, don’t forget to accessorize accordingly!

I wanna talk to all you brides to be out there today. You know what makes an amazing grooms gift?! Yeah, you know; that’s why you’re here!!! 😉

One of the best things about a boudoir session is you can customize it to fit your likes and style. If you’re coming in to do a bridal shoot, think about your wedding colors, or bring in something like your veil, or wedding shoes.

Or even…

What a beautiful way to personalize your bridal session!

We can do great shots with your veil too.

What about something simple, like a top or tank that says Bride.

There are so many different ways to customize your shoot with us; whether it’s for a bridal session, anniversary, birthday or just because. The great thing about Boudoir Coterie is that Danea will meet with you before your session to help you decide what will be great choices for your shoot.

What are some other ideas you can think of to customize your boudoir session with us?
