This week I thought I’d talk about casual, but classy, outfits. Every woman should have some casual but classy wardrobe pieces that can be paired and mixed and matched. Let’s face it, while it’s fun to get slammed up and look stunning, most of us chooseÂ to put on a body smoother or something similar to smoothen out some areas we are less than happy with. And while they give us the desired look, man are they uncomfortable! So why not get some pieces that you will feel stunning in, but won’t have to wear constricting undergarments.

I love this beautifully detailed tie back sweater with black jeans. I would go with a non-ripped jean to really pull of a classy look, but paired with the right heels and of course stunning accessories, it can really glam these ordinary pieces into a casual but classy choice.

Color choices are important too. When I see someone wearing white pants it makes me think of a classy look for some reason, and I love this beautiful turquoise top and flats paired with the white pants.

I adore this final look and would love to have a top like this in my wardrobe! Paired with a light blue sweater (my preference over a jacket) it is stunning! I think another important aspect of this outfit is the shoes. They pair well with the patterned top and give the outfit a little more of a classy look. Heels with the right jeans can really make a statement.

So ladies, do you have pieces in your wardrobe that can make a look more classy than casual? What are they? What do you pair them with? What’s your favorite outfit you can put together from your closet?

Wow, do I have some looks for you ladies today! I was so inspired by this collectionÂ while browsing Polyvore. The color is amazing, and I love the details they added, especially the shoes!

Now, while a gold tone may not compliment all skin hues, use this as a jumping off point for ideas. The beautiful lace modest piece would look amazing in black, or even a soft pink. Imagine a light pink with nude thigh highs; beautiful!

The high waisted panties and satin bra with a gorgeous statement necklace really remind me of a vintage look. This style of lingerie is coming back and many companies are producing high waisted panties.

And if you’re going for a super daring look that will blow your partner away, look at that Daring piece. That does not leave much of anything to the imagination!

Don’t forget the accessories ladies! Stockings and strappy heels are a must!

Are you daring enough to pull of the Daring look? Or areÂ the Classic or Modest looks more of your style? Perhaps one look for your photo shoot and one look for the bedroom?!

Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you can’t wear a beautiful slip dress.Â I receivedÂ an email from Polyvore this week talking about the top Stand Out Styles and #1 was a slip dress. Honestly I haven’t given a slip dress much thought, but while looking I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. This is such a versatile dress that can be worn for a day function, slammed up for an evening event or even a glamour session with us.

I adore this casual option. The jean jacket paired with some nice flats add just enough of a pop to this beautiful dress. And don’t forget a necklace!

A little more than the last outfit, this one could be worn any time of day. I love the addition of a sweater with the slip dress! I never would have thought of that. And the ankle boots are cute and pair so well with the sweater.

Lastly I wanted to show you a night wear option. The color of this dress is gorgeous, and paired with a beautiful coat and some strappy heels, it really pushes this dress into a fantastic night option. Of course I would add a necklace and some earrings 😉

Do you have a slip dress in your closet that you wear? What’s your favorite addition to it?

First Shoot In The New Studio | Campbell Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

Our New Location

We’ve officially been shooting in the new Downtown Campbell studio for just over a month. There have been some big changes, like fresh glitter paint and new flooring since this shoot and we are very exciting about all the shooting possibilities in our new location! I no longer have a large blank shooting wall but we have stairs, a balcony and even a candy bar– which is a fabulous way to utilize the sexy “saloon” feel of the place.

This gorgeous lady came in for a 20 year anniversary shoot and hot damn did she rock it! Here’s a look at some of the images from her session which shows aÂ variety of sets.

We started off with a Dodgers themed set. It’s always fun to incorporate something of his and sports is an easy and sexy way to do it!

I love, love, LOVE a cozy sweaterÂ over a pretty lace bra!

Our new low hanging chandelier makes for some gorgeous shots!

On the balcony– and get a load of that giant chandelier! The natural light in here is gorgeous!

Of course I love me some sheet! You look stunning Miss T!

Watch for details on an open house coming soon so you can check it out for yourself! You will be blown away with the coolness of the space and what better time to book! 🙂

Thank you for allowing me to share, Miss T. You were so much fun to work with! xo

Let me tell you a little secret, I have an affinity for beautiful lingerie. I love browsing various sites seeing what is out there. I was so inspired by my browsing today, I had to share with you a few amazing pieces I found. These would be perfect for a night in, or a photo shoot with us ;), heck why not both?!!!

I wanted to show off some one piece items first. The two long gowns on the right are amazingly stunning! I can imagine them flowing with the fan blowing on you as we use for some shoots. The teddy and kimono are a gorgeous jewel tone that would compliment any skin tone. If a chemise is more of your style this silver with lace details is perfect. And when I saw the white with black lace short one piece I was really intrigued because I’ve never seen a piece of lingerie like that. Typically if you wanted that look you had to wear two pieces, so I like this because it’s a different option.

I love garter belts, or panties with built in garters. There is something to timeless and classic about these pieces. I like how the two black pieces have the garter straps attached to the panties. You’ll also notice how they are more of a high waister, more coverage panty as opposed to the itty bitty panties that are usually sold to go along with the garter. Buy what you like and feel comfortable in!

What’s your preference ladies? What inspires you from what I’ve shared today? I’m guessing there will be lots of new lingerie showing going on this weekend with it being Valentine’s Day 😉

Happy Valentine’s Day ladies! Call today to book your session and give your significant other some photos in that new lingerie that will have them thinking back on this Valentine’s Day for years to come.

What do you all think of today’s lingerie? Do you like it? Think it’s too revealing? Wish there were other options? If so, you should try to find some vintage inspired lingerie. It has more of a modest look to it, but still conveys sexy and stylish. Now I’m not saying there is anything wrong with anything you currently own (I own some too!), but let’s face it, we are all different and our tastes run the spectrum.

Vintage panties tend to have a higher waistline, and come down further on your hips. I love this look! A long skirt with garter attachments is beautiful and can hide any leg areas you want covered.

One thing that is pretty consistent with vintage lingerie pieces isÂ soft colors, and usually some lace overlay.

So what do you think ladies? Do you like the vintage feel of these pieces, or are you more of a traditional gal?
