I try to stay away from sharing things that are trending, but I really like this one today and like how versatile this trending item can be. It’s a lace dress, ladies. They are so beautiful and come in so many different styles.

There are beautiful lace dresses in short or long lengths, and of course come in various colors. Let me share some of the few favorites I found browsing online.

If you prefer a longer dress, look at these.

I am really loving that black dress! My favorite thing about it is where it hits on the leg; I love the classic look of a dress that hits right below the knee. I also love how both the blue and black dresses have a bit of extra unlined lace at the bottom. The light pink dress is another great option for a lace dress. This one has a bit more of a swinging type skirt but still has that beautiful lace detail.
If you prefer a short dress, look at these options.

These all still have some beautiful details, as the should! I love the eyelash lace trim on the far left blue dress, and how the black and far right pink dress have that unlined lace at the bottom. I love the addition of the tie on the top middle dress. It’s such a simple addition but really makes the dress. And the bottom middle dress is a beautiful figure hugging lace dress.
One nice thing about a style that is trending is that you can find one within your price range since most stores carry them. Just by looking online I’ve found some at Target, Macy’s, and Nordstrom.
Do you have a lace dress? Do you love one that I posted? Let me know!

Danea was recently contacted by a local mall lingerie store, Soma Intimates, to come in and share her gorgeous work with their customers. Pretty amazing, huh?! In light of that I thought I’d highlight some of their items that have caught my eye, and there are plenty.

First off about something red and lacy for Valentine’s Day. Each bra has a coordinating panty for you to choose from as well.

For those of you who happen to be a bit more supple up top, they have some beautiful bras for you as well. That’s one thing I really am loving about this store, they have sizes for everyone. Some mall stores, who shall remain nameless, really only cater to small girls, and their bra sizes are not true bra sizes. These are!

If you’re looking for more of a lingerie type style item, they’ve got you covered there too. Check out some pieces I found.

I am seeing a shopping trip here in my future. I am loving their bras and some of this lingerie! If you see something that catches your eye, stop in the Valley Fair location this coming Thursday night, February 9. Danea will be there from 4pm-8pm. She’s running some amazing booking specials which you can see below.

If you’ve been thinking about meeting Danea, or booking a session, this is a fantastic opportunity that you should not miss out on. Don’t miss out on this event! Hope to see you there.

I’ve stumbled upon another new lingerie company that I’m eager to share with you. This isn’t only a lingerie company; they’ve got some pretty dresses I’m going to show you as well. Just like last week, you can find this line of lingerie in stores like Norsdstrom, so you can actually go in and see the items in person and try them on.

Let me introduce you to For Love and Lemons! This line of lingerie has a lot of pretty detail, but doesn’t leave much to the imagination.

For Love & Lemons lingerie

 

Beautiful, huh?!!! I like that they offer a full panty or thong choice to match with each bra. Their attention to detail on the front of the bras and panties continues to the back of the set too.
Here are a few more bra and panty sets, and a gorgeous one piece.

Again their attention to detail is just beautiful. These are some great pieces for your upcoming Valentine’s Day ladies!
As I said above they don’t only have lingerie, I found some pretty dresses as well.

Aren’t they gorgeous!
These pieces I’ve shared with you today are simply what can be found at Nordstrom; there are so many more pieces on their website. If you don’t mind ordering lingerie online take a look because there are so many more fantastic options.
Share with me what you like or something you found on their site that you love.

It is California cold today ladies. Holy moly! I am cold down to my bones and cannot get warm. When I stumbled upon this current trend it made me wish I was wearing it. I see a shopping trip in my future. What is it? A chunky turtleneck sweater. It even sounds warm and toasty.

This can be a pretty versatile piece of clothing for your wardrobe that can be dressed up or down depending on what you choose to wear on your bottom half.

Of course for a more casual look, pair it with jeans.

Or for an even more casual look, ditch the boots and wear some sneakers.

Or another look with jeans, for a more dressy casual look, try pairing your sweater and jeans with some flats or heels. That’s a sure way to glam up a pair of jeans.

For a work attire look, try pairing a neutral colored sweater with some gorgeous colored slacks. And some heels!

For another work look, try pairing your sweater with a skirt. If it’s cold outside don’t forget some tights!

Do you have one of these gorgeous sweaters? What’s your favorite way to wear it? Do you dress down or glam it up?

Christmas has passed and now here we are staring 2017 in the face as it approaches. Let’s talk about some New Year’s Eve party fashion. How do you spend the evening? Are you at a party with friends, or do you spend a quite night in celebrating the new year?

If you have a party to attend, dress up and have fun! Consider wearing something shiny and sparkly.

I love the rose gold sparkle paired with black heels and clutch.
Maybe you’d prefer something a little different, but still with a wow factor.

If your party requires something a little more special and elegant than those options, what about this stunning dress.

Alright, not all of us have a party to go to that requires something that gorgeous or glamorous. A simple but elegant dress is a nice option.

If a dress isn’t really your thing, some trendy slacks with a stunning blouse is another great option. I love the black with some gold accessories to ring in the new year.

What about if you’re spending the night in celebrating with your special someone? I’ve got you covered there too 😉

Just because you aren’t attending a high fashion party doesn’t mean you can’t shop for something new, fun and special to wear.
What is your New Year’s Eve like? Do you party up with your friends, or watch the ball drop sitting on the couch with your significant other? Whatever you do, wear something fun and have a great time!

Today we’re gonna talk about something not very practical for everyday wear, but you hear a lot about it this time of year. The Ugly Sweater. Many offices and friends have parties for who can wear the ugliest sweater. Personally I feel like any Christmas or Holiday type printed sweater is now classified as an Ugly Sweater, whether it is truly ugly or not. While your sweater may be unsightly, that doesn’t mean that your whole outfit needs to be awful (Unless you want it to be!). Let’s look at some ways to style your ugly sweater.

This one of course caught my eye.

Ugly Chirstmas Sweater.. Ms. Scrooge

 

The sweater may announce your idea here, but the outfit itself is not bad. Some spiked ankle booties and colored skinny jeans bring this sweater into an everyday outfit.
Try pairing your ugly sweater with a cute, flirty skirt.
CHRISTMAS TIME

 

You can always dress it up a bit more with some gorgeous colored heels.

And of course you can always just own the ugly-ness and put together an overall ugly outfit.

What does your favorite ugly sweater look like? How do you like to wear it? Do you attend a party for ugly sweaters?
Stay warm in your ugly sweater ladies!

Let’s talk about Holiday parties again. I know we’ve talked about dresses before, but I want to talk about them again! It’s so fun to go dress shopping and try different styles on and really see what you like. But if you already know what styles suit your body, have you thought about renting a dress? Yup, that’s right; renting a dress.

Rent the Runway ladies!!!!

It’s more than just dresses ladies, but let’s focus on those today. I love that you can filter your choices for color, style, even shape.

Their prices are very reasonable, and they let you choose a second size of the dress for free in case your original size doesn’t fit. There are plenty of reviews for each dress so you can see what other people feel in regards to the sizing. Now let’s get to the fun part; sharing some of my favorites I found!

Karla Dress by nha khanhKarla Dress by nha khanh

I could share images with you all day long of dress I find. Look at those prices ladies! I would happily pay $60 to rent a dress and be able to shop and try on in the comfort of my own home, wouldn’t you?!

They also carry a variety of gorgeous clothing pieces from tops, bottoms, jumpsuits & rompers, and jackets. You could even rent a dress for your glamour shoot with us!

So tell me ladies, what do you think about renting a dress or an outfit for your upcoming party? Have you used Rent the Runway before? What was your experience? Can’t wait to hear your story!
