Sizzling Steampunk

It’s October, so that means it’s time for Halloween! There’s still time to choose what you want to wear to the party of the year. But this blog is about what to wear after the party when you want to do some trick or treating in the boudoir. One of my favorite ideas is SteamPunk!! What’s steampunk you ask?

Steampunk is a style of design and fashion that combines historical elements with anachronistic technological features inspired by science fiction. In other words, it is the most badass costume idea since the Gothic Vampire. From head to toe, you are transformed into a fine Industrial Lady with a bit of battle in her and a lot of elegance from a very different era. Here are some of the most exceptional examples of this timeless and daring fashion choice.dec_border

Halloween is about being the most unique character and having fun doing it. It doesn’t always have to be spooky or gory. It can be leather clad, metal trimmed, doused in lovely lace, and uniquely mechanical.

 

So if you decide on this lively vintage look you will be the invention of a science fiction dream. No matter where the party takes you to have a safe trick or treat

(adult style, wink wink)!

Often times summer accessories have a dual function; protection and fashion. You cant have the most fun in the sun without covering all your bases and looking damn good while doing it! So, complete that out of this world look with any one of the latest seasonal trends.

dec_border

Let’s start at the top…..

 

Hats!!

 

 

 

 

A stylish hat is an absolute must for those hot summer months! Be as sporty or as chic as you wish and still have the best protection for your head and face. And don’t be intimidated by a large brim. It’s too fabulous to pass up. and the bigger the better.

Sunglasses!!

 

 


 

 

Look at your summer through rose-colored specs and keep those eyes safe with a jazzy pair of sunglasses. UV protection is not just important for your skin. Your eyes need that same care too. And since the colors and styles are numerous go ahead and have a different pair for every summer day that shines bright like a diamond.

Scarfs/Wraps

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scarfs can be an exciting changeup to your summer look in so many ways. Wrap your head and create a chic way to shield you from the sun. Or even wear it as a shawl, cover-up or skirt to go from beach fashion to street fashion in a snap. Go for bold prints and loud colors to spice it up even more.

Jewelry!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are just so many wonderful creations to choose from! I cant just pick one that is the most fun to wear. They all add that special something your summer outfit so desperately needed. Gold and natural stones are always in style, but this year’s fun trend is full body, hand, and feet decore. This trend truly accentuates the best of you while feeling comfortable and unique.

Phone Cases!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The phone is not only a phone, it’s a great part of everyday life. With use being such daily necessity it’s only natural to accessories it considering how much we show it off during a selfie alone. A phone is an extension of ourselves and should reflect that in the most fun ways possible.

dec_border

 

Purses!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I speak for every woman when I say that a purse is your greatest lifeline! How else are we supposed to carry our whole summer around wherever we go? Explore colorful patterns and quirky designs. Go big for the beach or small for the evening and always stylish everywhere in between.

dec_border

 

Let’s end with the best part…

Shoes!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The perfect pair of shoes is the most adventurous way to celebrate summer in all its colorful glory! Whether it’s a pair of pumps or a classic flip flop summer will never be boring when you wear the latest trends in summer footwear. Rainbow is all the rage in shoes right now. You don’t have to choose just one shade, choose them all and live your best life.

Now that we’ve covered everything from head to toe…

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s a time to be bold, a time to be brave, and a time to be free. Let the Summer, and all the wonderful accessories it has to offer, take your breath away!

Sexy Accessories | San Jose San Francisco Bay Area Boudoir Photography

 

When doing a boudoir photo shoot keep it unique and keep it about you. It’s time for that sexy side to sizzle. The best way to do that is through accessories, but you never want to over accessorize simply because IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU!! There are so many fun ways to do this that will not take away from that perfect shot!

Let’s go from top to bottom!

Hats are a great start. Often times you can play with a lot of different close-up shots. And there is a hat for every look and every type. Everything from a big Hollywood glamor look to a rustic cowgirl look, you’d be surprised about its versatility.

Now, personally, I am not a hat person. I’m not the only one either. But I can’t help but love a good headpiece of some kind. A great flapper style headband adorned with ornate fabrics and designs is one option that will enhance every picture.

Tiaras and different bejeweled hair accessories are essential for the perfect boudoir bridal photo. The tiara is best when worn with an elegant veil, but is just as stunning by itself to make your inner princess come to life.

But I can’t resist just keeping it simple and sexy with flowers in the hair. You can have a single rose sitting delicately on one side or have an entire arrangement placed throughout your hair of any flower you wish.

Make a statement with an alluring mask. Entice those who look to stare deep into your eyes and become mesmerized. Be as subtle or as decorative as you wish with this fanciful accessory.

Chokers are the sexiest types of necklaces. It hugs the neck with elegant styles and materials that make this ever sensual part of your body look longer and more delicate.

Pearls are as simple as can be along with being as sexy as ever. Pearls pair well with every boudoir outfit, but it is even more desirable when it stands alone. Wear it close to your neck like a choker, wrap it with layers around your neck, or wear them long as the pearls follow down the center of your body.

Go big and rocker with various types of draped chain. Gold is another personal favorite and letting the layers drape long and proud down every curve is so sexy.

dec_border

 

One option, if you are not into a chain like I am but still want to make a big statement, is to go with big colorful beaded pieces. The more colorful the better!

dec_border

 

 

But who could resist a wonderful jewelry set being the only outfit you wear. Let your jewels inspire the sexy in you.

And what better to match with your exquisite jewels than a stunning fluffy fur stole or fur coat. It can be faux or no, colorful or simple, and always soft to the touch.

Add a silky touch of something extra sexy with a pair of luxurious gloves. With such choices as lace, chiffon or satin, how could you not look glamorous? Have them long and simple or short and decorative to show off a unique you.

Fans are the most beguiling accessory and always makes for a fabulous photo. Even more so than then any hat, the fan can be a great prop for a captivating close-up like no other.

dec_border

 

Body chains are the sexiest trend in boudoir accessories and with as many styles as there are ways to wear them you can not go wrong. When used for a photo shoot it often highlights the most arousing features.

Belts can also be a great addition to your choice of outfit. With a corset waist belt, you can cheat! You have the same classic look of a corset without having to lose your breath or deal with to many ties.

Chain belts are another great way to enhance your outfit and give you an edgy look that snugs closely and enhances your racy side.

dec_border

 

 

Garters! Need I say more? And with so many styles to choose you can be anything from a blushing bride to subtle hints of s&m, however the mood strikes you.

dec_border

 

 

Stockings? What’s more risque than stockings held up with a classic garter belt? It’s that vintage look that will never go out of style because it is so perfect, especially for a boudoir shoot.

dec_border

 

You’re going to need one sexy pair of pumps to really make your stockings complete. Any color, any style and however high you want them is the best way to make your luscious legs reach to the stars.

dec_border

 

But it’s not the only way to make your legs look spectacular. Boots! The higher the thigh the better! Make them look even more scandalous by wearing only your boots during your session.

dec_border

 

 

From head to toe and everything in between, make sure the true sexy vixen that exists within every pearl clutching lady shines brighter than a diamond.
