Swim season is upon us. Finding a comfortable and flattering bathing suit can be difficult, as there are so many different options.

Let’s start with some one pieces. Most moms (I can say this because I am one, and do choose to wear this type) I feel tend to choose a one piece, or tankini option. One piece swim suits are a good choice to for actually swimming, not just sitting by the pool to soak up the rays.

A halter style is always a good choice to support “the girls”, and some rushing around the midsection can hide any Â areas you are uncomfortable with. Why not go with a fun color, pattern or a swim suit with an accent piece like a belt?!

I’m sure we’ve all at some point worn a bikini. There are so many different styles and cuts of bikinis!

There are retro looks, tankini styles, the middle top is a reversible set from H&M, and then there are the more daring cut as in the bottom picture.

My biggest piece of advice, with any clothing but especially swimwear, make sure it fits. Don’t pay attention to the number or letter on the tag because that isn’t what makes you feel comfortable. Make sure it fits or you’ll be picking bottoms out of your rear or watching for boob spillage all day.

Sometimes it can be difficult to figure out what colors look good on your skin tone. Neutrals are always a good choice. Black, white, ivory and grey. Yes, grey. Let me show you some beautiful greys.

What I love about grey is there are a lot of different hues. The outfit on the left is a beautiful purplishÂ grey. The middle outfit is more of a traditional grey while the right outfit has a bit of a greenish hue. They are all great color choices.

Grey can be dressed up with colored jewelry or shoes. It’s always best to choose neutral colored lingerie for your photoshoot. Sometimes the bright colored items can look harsh “on film”. Remember, Danea does wardrobe consultations to take her up on that option! She will steer you in the right direction.

It’s dress season ladies! There are so many different styles of dresses out there, today I’m going to show you some handkerchief hem dresses.

I love the hem line of these dresses, and that they can be found in a shorter style, or a longer maxi style. That really fits everyones comfortable length.

This style of dress can be an every day type dress. Something you could wear to work, or out running errands even.

These every day dresses would look great with some cute, strappy sandals.

Of course there are options for an event, or date night dress.

These dress would look great with some heels, and the right accessories.

I love that this style would fit every body type too. You don’t have to be a skinny mini to fit this dress. There are so many different options to fit your style too; long, short, patterned, solid.

What’s your style? Would you like a short dress or long dress? Patterned or solid? Let me know!

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 accessoriesÂ 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!

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, Â 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.Â 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!

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?
