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.

Hats/Head Dresses

Mask/Goggles

Jewelry/Gloves

Fans/Parasols

Lingerie/Bolero

Corsets/Intricate Bodices

Skirts/Garters/Stockings

Shoes/Boots

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)!

Final Touches For Summer | San Francisco Bay Area Boudoir Photography

Let’s complete your Summer Style!!

Face it, besides a swimsuit, sunblock, and bag, you NEED something to dry off with and something to throw on between destinations without having to worry. Without a great towel and a beautiful cover up, you simply are not prepared for summer. Here’s are some great ideas to complete your summer and make it as sensational as possible.

Starting with the most important of course…

Towels!!

Don’t just think of them as a way to get dry or lay on the hot sand. Think of it as an extension of yourself. Everything you love can be reflected through your towel. No matter what it is or how crazy! Here are the latest trends for Summer!!

You’re an Animal!!

Animal prints are always a blast. But you can go one step further with a print of your favorite animal (even if it’s your very own pet.)

Happy Hour!!

Wet your whistle with a good cocktail while laying poolside on one. It’s a refreshing way to have a little fun with your summer.

Food for Thought!!

What’s a summer outing without a good feast? Make your summer more delicious with a fantastic food towel shaped like your favorite treats.

Tribal Connection!!

Bring back the spirit of the native culture and feel free and easy while walking on the beach or laying on the grass and dream the day away.

Little Mermaid!!

Be apart of a beautiful, magical world that only exists in the purest imagination and feel one with the sea and the summer.

Leave A Message!!

Make a statement and don’t be shy about conveying exactly what you want for your seasonal experience. Be creative while staying cool and dry.

Flower Child!!

Get in a natural state of mind by bringing the palm trees and tropical flowers with you to every summer destination.

Now that you’re set with an awesome beach towel…

It’s time for the chicest part of summer…

CoverUps!!

Of course, it’s easy to just wrap a towel around you and walk around. But it is not the most practical nor the most fashionable. The towel always falls off and drips and gets sand all over the place. If you want your summer fun to continue without worry then there here are the latest trends for every personality.

CoverUps!!

Sexy Summer

Summer is right around the corner and that means being able to pass off your sexy lingerie as a cute outfit idea! It just takes the right style to make a sexy statement!

If you didn’t know you could wear your beautiful underpinnings as the main focal point of your outfit, and actually get away with it, then you are about to be pleasantly and fashionably shocked. Here are some great ideas that will make your summer sizzle.

Classic Bra

Be as casual or as fancy as you want with no regrets. It’s the most freeing feeling! Take that stunning bra out of your delicates drawer. You know the one I’m talking about; the one you thought you could only wear for intimate eyes only. Well, it’s time to match it up with some cute jeans or cut off shorts for a more casual look or a flawless pin skirt for a fancy night out. The choice is yours.

Sports Bra

Now, believe me, I get it. You’re more of a work-out kinda woman. There are just as many options. Yes, even a fancier style. Still, use that sexy bra, but pair it with a scandalous pair of sports shorts and heels for that perfect sporty-chic look. Don’t be afraid to wear your full workout gear from head to toe as your sexy statement so you can show off that body and how you got it.

Lace Bralettes and Crops

Lace is elegant, bralettes are comfortable and corset style crops are to die for. Whether you pair it with a classic skirt or even a ripped up pair of jeans you will always stand out for your exquisite sense of fashion and look the best of the best so effortlessly. Make sure to complete this timeless and trendy look with the perfect jacket for when the night gets just a bit chilly. Although if the night goes right you won’t need it.

Satin Corset Crop

Well, lace may be elegant, but satin feels so very luxurious. This is one of my favorites when spicing up a summer outfit. Its durability makes for long nights of partying the night away and always feeling secure in your garment. The vibrant colors and fearless prints are endless and so is the confidence it gives you. And of course, its ability to go from casual to chic just by changing one item is what truly makes this look magnificent.

Corsets

Corsets only favor the brave. Do you have what it takes to wear this literally breath-taking garment with every style? Guaranteed you will always look flawless and stop everyone dead in their tracks. Make it delicate or sporty. Make it rock and roller or fantasy princess but always make this ancient lingerie your own. So take a deep breath and let the corset do the rest of the seducing.

Bodysuits

Bodysuits are beyond beautiful! This garment’s crowning achievement is its match of form and function with a simple and sophisticated result every time, no matter how low key you’ve styled yourself. Feel as flexible and as delicate as a ballerina all while taking over the world one fabulous day at a time. For a flare of the dramatic go for a sheer style adorned with the most glitz, you can ever desire. This look will make you the showstopper you always had deep in you.

Slip Dresses

The final idea that is the top trend right now and going forward into the summer is the silky, sensational, versatile and the always the most comfortable way to fancy up even the most casual of styles. The slip dress! It isn’t just for wearing under your dresses and skirts to prevent clinging. Now it’s the sleekest way to be comfortable without sacrificing even an inch of chic. How can one make this look even grander? By pairing it with fur! Faux or fine you will never cease to amaze everyone with your timeless charm. The longer the better for a more vintage magnificence. Feel as all eyes are on you, you glamorous bombshell!

Today’s forward fashions have freed us from the constraints of normality. We don’t have to be incredibly modest and we don’t have to burn the bras in protest. We can have a middle ground too. The best way to make that happen is by showing everyone what these undergarments are for; they are for whatever we feel good in. They are to make us feel beautiful for ourselves, not just our special someone in private. Remember, no matter what, you are ALWAYS that special someone above ALL others.

Your personality comes first in your fashion. Make sure whatever style you choose is as unforgettable as you are.

The Beautiful Bra

We concentrated on the ‘bottom’ now let’s go up to the ‘top’! BRAS! Though not every man is a breast guy, no man can resist a sexy bra. Matching it with your personality gives the girls a fun boost!

Breasts are a cherished symbol of femininity not only to men but to women as well. I mean, they are on our bodies. It feels good when the ladies look fabulous and the right bra always does the trick. You can be as sporty or demure and as bold or provocative as you wish. Shining your personality though, that’s what it’s all about! The choices in style, color and fabrics are endless!

You have your bottoms covered.

Now let’s find the perfect bra for your personality!

Classic Lace

Lace harkens back to a sweeter feeling but stirs sensuality all the same. The classic fabric is, by far, the most versatile. Most lingerie is either entirely made of or trimmed with lace. The designs one could make with it are never-ending.

Sheer Lace

\

Sexy and simple, but always elegant. Sometimes it’s okay not to leave much to the imagination.

Exposed Lace

To show more is even sexier and even more jaw-dropping. Plunge as deep as your vixen side tells you.

Now let’s check out different styles often done in lace, but can be done in different materials such as velvet, satin and cotton.

Bralettes

Bralettes are the best for its absolute wearability. You can be in the boudoir or out on the town with a simple jacket, the right location and the perfect someone.

Floral

Floral prints bring a natural sense of confidence with its bright colors. You can be classic or bold with the design and fabrics and mix and match the panty color to coordinate with the many hues of the flowers.

Let’s Be Wild! I love to throw in something random and exciting.

In my opinion, the boldest statement would be…

Feathers

Have the most fun you can with your look! This is just a peek into what my personality would be. Feathers are a show stopper; theatrical and dramatic! Even if it’s just a touch on the trim the emotions that come from it are the same.

Now, talk about sexy! These bras are so amazing. But now we’ll look at a darker more complex side.

Leather

It is commonly seen as fetish lingerie but it is so much more. just like a bralette, it can be worn in the bedroom and out and about, with some creative styling of course. It adds a dark feel to your chic venere.

Straps

This very daring and complex design is equally as versatile in wearability and equally as dark and mysterious as the feeling leather provokes.

Leather isn’t the only way to show your dark side. But maybe that dark side has a little bit more of a fighter. The only way to show this side of you is…

Chain

Yes, like leather, chains are popular in the fetish community, but it also brings a warrior princess vibe to the look, which is so empowering either way. It is often lightweight and exposes all the right parts of your goddess body.

Let’s throw in some sporty comfort. Yes, sporty is sexy and comfortable is always preferable.

Sport

Renown designers have really gone above and beyond in the science of the sports bra. They are as fashionable as they are functional. They can also come in vibrant prints and colors of all kinds and are extremely flattering on every body type.

Now we should take a look back at another classic…

Satin

Besides lace, satin is the most used fabric in creating lingerie. It can come in any color and any print. Satin is also stronger than lace and can serve as an amazing foundation for adding embellishments to the bra.

What kind of embellishments, you ask?

Rhinestones and Studs

Rhinestones and studs are the definitions of complex, but the glitz and glamour are vivacious and spectacular. Turn into a showgirl for your sexy moment and let your beauty shine as stunning as your gems.

Another amazing embellishment to add elegance and grace to your brassiere…

Pearls

Pearls are truly exquisite and add a certain softness to the body. With the proper foundation, you can put as many pearls as you want! Thankfully pearls are delicate enough to be sewn onto lace and other thinner fabrics.

When choosing your perfect bra, always remember; it’s about you and ONLY YOU. You are the only one who knows what the girls look good in. Make em look sexy!

Whatever your personality, there’s a bra for that!

The Perfect Panty

With so many different wardrobe choices for a boudoir shoot, it could be a bit overwhelming. To help you make the best decision we’ll focus on one attribute at a time.

It’s all about showing off your best assets and being comfortable in your own skin. The particular asset we are showing off today is the posterior and the beautiful panties that could go on it. Yes, there are still so many choices, but at least all we have to worry about is that terrific tush!

There is a panty for every personality; let’s find yours.

Lace Up Panties

Weather they lace from the front or the back, this ethereal design is always flattering and flirty with a breath of elegance. It comes in an unending array of colors, styles, and fabrics.

Sporty Panties

Cozy and casual can be sexy and seductive. Sporty styles not only give you unbelievable comfort, but it also lifts you in the most flattering places. It makes you feel as flexible as an acrobat and most importantly it will make you feel free and at ease, while doing killer poses.

Strappy Panties

Going with a strappy design shows how bold you can be with your sexual heat. Its intricate style is often times the most visually intimate and favorable to almost every figure.

High Waist Panties

High waisted styles are so versatile and comfortable without sacrificing elegance. Designs range from a vivacious vintage to a marvelous modern and shows as much or as little as you want.

Floral Print Panties

Floral Panties are delicate and exquisite. They bring a very natural essence to your derriere and can be as sophisticated or as simple as you want. It wears well with a lace trim to accent its beauty. Fabrics and cuts are quite variable, but the elegance is always the same.

Fantasy Panties

This is the wow factor! The fantasy would come true with a lovely string of pearls, a salacious peekaboo or a revealing chain ensemble. Whichever is chosen, each is unique and the most provocative of statements.

Funtime Panties

Sometimes it’s fun to leave the elegance at the door and have a little fun with your panties. Bring out that good humor, inner geek or even just the downright naughty side of you.

Animal Inspired Panties

Though leopard is a true classic when it comes to animal inspired panties, there are other creatures in this world and that means there are many creations that these animals have influenced such as feathers and fur. Or go outside the box with peacock print instead. The choices are numerous and all gorgeous!

Classic Garter Style Panties

It’s always best to end with a classic. The timeless enchantment this garment elicits is undeniable. It accentuates every curve, flatters every figure, and truly drips sex and sophistication. The style will never die for exactly these reasons.

Final Touch

Whatever style you choose to accentuate your asset, keep it true to you. No matter the personality, there’s a panty for that.

What To Wear Wednesday | San Jose Monterey Bay Area Boudoir Photography

It’s Spring Fling Time! You already have the perfect outfit for your date picked out, but what are you going to wear to when you invite your date home and slip into something sexier? These spring collections are the perfect ideas to end your date perfectly!

I love to start with something simple that you can wear under almost any outfit you decide to wear for your date; the bra and panty sets. You can choose your color and style based on your outfit, personality, and so much more. The possibilities are endless. Considering there are so many great choices the best advice for choosing the perfect set is to just think fun and colorful for spring. Think simple, but go sexy.

Another classic and easy garment is the chemise. You can wear this under certain outfits to act as a slip, you can use it as a seductive dress with a glamorous coat, or just simply excuse yourself and slide into a lustful look. No matter the color, style, or material with a chemise you can never go wrong. Keep in mind, the softer the better. He will not stop touching every accentuated curve.

And then, of course, you want nothing more than to wrap yourself in the one piece that completes every lingerie set; the boudoir robe. Though they come in all colors and materials the classical favorite is silk or satin. Mix and match colors for a more fun and freeing feel. You can make it the simplest look of all; go into your dressing area a slip only the robe on. You’ll marvel at how your style makes him melt.

Spring is a time to fling care in the air and make every moment colorful and memorable. Don’t just end the date with the kiss good night. End with the feeling that you are perfect in every way and there’s nothing wrong with showing it! So go ahead, slip into something more “comfortable” and show it off! Wink Wink!
