Sandal weather is upon us ladies (ok, maybe not looking out the window today, but it’s here!) and today I want to touch on a different kind of sandal, espadrilles.

These sandals are so versatile, and come in many different styles. There are wedges, open toe, gladiator, and even lace ups. Espadrilles can look great with any outfit.

I love this look with the dress, and of course the jean jacket! Tying the color of the sandals into the necklace really helps pull a colored sandal off well.
A lace up style can look great with a simple sheath dress.

A wedge looks great with these jeans, and I love how they pull the color of the sandals into the accessories to add some color with this neutral top.

Espadrilles can be found at many stores. I did a quick search and saw them at Nordstrom, Target, Zappos, and even Amazon. Do you have a pair in your closet? Do you have a favorite style of them? What’s your favorite outfit to wear them with?

When planning your boudoir session, think outside the box a little bit! What can you bring that adds a bit of fun? A kimono is a great addition. Think about it; a beautiful bra and panty set with a beautiful patterned, short, kimono robe to go over, maybe draping off of one shoulder?! I know you can picture it!

Kickin' Kimono

 

There are so many different kimono options out there. From ones that are more plain if that’s your style, to patterned with fringe even. It’s all about finding what your style is, and what you are comfortable with. A kimono can even be paired with a chemise, or a teddy.
Think about how beautiful a white kimono would be with your wedding veil! Maybe paired with a pair of panties that say Bride?
You kimono doesn’t have to be short; if you are more comfortable with a long robe, then by all means choose that! Just nothing fuzzy that you would wear around your house ladies 😉
What would your style be? What would you wear underneath? Whatever it may be, don’t forget your high heels and accessories ladies! Call us today to book your session.

I know we’ve talked about it before, and it may not feel like it today with the rain, but Spring is right around the corner. Spring is a great time of year to wear layers. Some days might still be cool enough that you’ll need a light jacket, and a denim jacket is a great layering piece.

Jean jackets can be worn over almost any type outfit (no red carpet event ladies); think maxi dresses, maxi skirts,  short dresses and skirts, and even jeans.

It’s really easy to pair your denim jacket with a maxi dress or skirt and look great.

A short dress can also look very cute paired with a jean jacket

It can be a little harder to pull off, but you can even wear a denim jacket with jeans. Using a black, or very dark blue jacket with a dark denim bottom is a good way to combine denim.

And while it can be a little more difficult, if you find the right shades you can wear a blue denim jacket with your blue jeans.

Do you have a denim jacket in your wardrobe? What’s your favorite way to wear it?

Spring is coming, I can feel the air trying to get warmer, and I love it! I despise being cold. I love wearing flip flops and strappy sandals; tank tops and skirts that flow. Cute crop pants with just the right accessories. Ah, warm weather!

Today I’m inspired by some casual spring outfits. I love the feel of these as I am more of a casual wardrobe type person, rather than wearing something fancy. I love how certain outfits look on other people, but then wonder about myself “It looks like I’m dressed up and I’m just picking my kid up from school” so jeans it is lol.

I do have to say, I love this top! The color is gorgeous and the added detail of the ribbon is such a smart idea to add some pizzaz. Paired with jeans it’s really a nice dressed up look while still being casual.
This next look is right up my alley! In fact, I think I’m going to look for something like this to add to my wardrobe.

I love this top! Such a beautiful spring sweater and the accessories really make the outfit. Don’t forget to accessorize ladies!
Spring Denim

 

The last look for today is a gorgeous, trendy but still casual look. The color of the jacket is perfect for spring, and I love the addition of the white top. And of course a nice pair of jeans can say casual but dressed up, especially with heels.

What are your favorite casual spring outfits ladies? Are you inspired by anything posted today?

I came across a new (to me) company that ties in with last week’s theme, and I’m going with it! Lingerie can be pretty costly and I love to pass along deals, so here you go. It’s a company called Asos, and man they have some cute things for really good prices, and some gorgeous pieces for the extravagant budget. What I think I like most is that they have something for everyone. Take this teddy for example, you can order it in a tall size, curvy size, petite size or regular size. And it’s only $34!!!

Asos Bobbi teddy

 

They have some really great lingerie pieces as well, so much more than I could show you. These were some of my favorites.

They have everyday undergarments as well. 2 pack of T-shirt bras for $22, 2 pack of panties for $17, and even gym bras for $24.

Have you shopped this site before? Take a look around; what are your favorites?

When you think lingerie, what stores pop into your head first? For many I’m guessing Victoria’s Secret, Frederick’s of Hollywood or trendy boutiques. Would you think of a store like H&M for your lingerie? I went in the other day looking for something for my daughter, and briefly browsed around the store. I was shocked at how many cute things they had for lingerie, and great prices too. I put together a set of some items I found online that I liked.

h&m lingerie

 

The first thing that caught my eye in store was those cut out panties in the mint color. While I would prefer black (which they have) I adore the cut out and the look of the high waist. And they have a matching lace top.
Just like a normal outfit, details can make your break your look. Why should lingerie be any different? The back straps on the bottom left bra are a great addition to what could be an otherwise plain bra. The panties on the bottom right are satin in the front and lace with the cut out in the back; super cute! They even have beautiful bodysuits if you like to wear that.
So, where will you think of to buy your lingerie now ladies? Any stores that you can think of that are outside the typical lingerie store box?
