Bringing it back to lingerie talk today ladies. I’m going to focus on some curvy body friendly items.

There are so many gorgeous items you can find to wear for your boudoir session. Today I’m focusing on items I found online at Lane Bryant. What’s especially nice in this case is that you can go down to your local mall (most malls have a Lane Bryant) and actually try these pieces on.

Let’s take a look at some of the things that caught my eye.

Lane Bryant

 

Some women are not comfortable baring a lot for their boudoir shoot, and that is ok! There is nothing that states you need to come in with some itty bitty bra and panty set. Everyone is comfortable in something different so choose what you like! If you are unsure bring lots of options, or heck, even schedule a wardrobe consultation with Danea before your shoot! Back to those pieces though; I love the peach outfit. The black lace overlay just gives it a little something extra and you know their bras are well made to support a larger chest. The chest cut out of the black chemise gives a nice little hint of cleavage and the cream lace over the flowy chiffon fabric is a beautiful detail.

If you are more comfortable in a bra and panty set, check out these two. I always love the idea of a garter belt and stockings, but maybe that’s just me! The bra has that beautiful red strap that just adds a little something extra around the chest. And the black set, well that happens to be my favorite of anything I found. I love how the panels seem to be a bit sheer, giving a little hint of something, and then how it ties around the neck. I’m a sucker for those little details and they really can change an ordinary lingerie outfit from blah to stunning.

Some of the last things I found are a combo of some two piece sets and some bodysuits. Again everything I’m sharing has something added that just makes it stand out. Lace detail in the white and black bras; lace in the apricot bodysuit; the halter neck bodysuit that ties at the nape of the neck; the large keyhole of the bra and the skirt with garters.
What’s your favorite or what can you see yourself wearing for your shoot? What; you don’t have one booked?! What are you waiting for; call her today!

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.

When you think of doing a boudoir shoot, you probably start thinking about lingerie; what you currently have that can work, or maybe that special little outfit you’ve had your eye on for that just right occasion. But what if I said you didn’t need all lingerie for your boudoir session?! Would you think I’m crazy?

Seriously ladies, you don’t need to have all lingerie! Danea can work wonders with any special item that you bring in. Let me show you some ideas!

A sweater can be just as sexy as your favorite lingerie. And what’s nice about bringing in a piece of regular clothing is that every time your significant other sees you in it, they’ll think about those sexy, sensual photos you took!

 How about his favorite tie?! That’ll send him over the edge every time he wears it!

Think outside the box ladies! What do you have sitting around, or can sneak away, that you can use for your session? Bring it, and Danea can make it sexy. The most important thing is that you feel amazing in what you bring. If it’s special to you (or him/her) it’ll bring a special smile to your face that will come across in your photos. So, what do you have lying around that would be great for your shoot?

In my search for something to bring to you this week I browsed through some of my usual places. When I hit Agent Provocateur I knew I had to share some of their new pieces with you. Amazingly, stunning and sexy pieces ladies! Seriously, I’m drooling over here.

Check out this intricate black lace teddy.

This would look great for a woman whose breasts are on the smaller side (I can say that as I am one!).

This 3 piece set is just beautiful. The color is amazing and will compliment any skin tone. There are so many details in this set; from the gold color to the lace to the eyelash fringe. It makes a stunning look.

This is my favorite of their new pieces, because this is something I can see myself wearing. The top would be flattering for any bust size, and I love how the garters are included in the panty piece. I also like that the panties are a more full sided look than briefs, typical of a vintage style.

For those of you really like to push the boundaries, here is a piece for you! It really is amazing, but doesn’t leave much to the imagination. Pasties not included 😉

What do you think of these new pieces? What is your favorite? Any you can see yourself wearing?

When I say Fredrick’s of Hollywood, what do you think? Maybe something not glamorous, a bit on the “wild” side, more for the bedroom type lingerie? I’m going to change your mind on that today ladies! They have really upgraded their lingerie and I am loving what I see! While they still have lots of pieces that are definitely more “for the bedroom”, Fredrick’s has really brought out many gorgeous, timeless pieces that would be great for your boudoir shoot (and after!).

Let’s look at some of their pieces and talk about what are some good choices for your shoot, and what are not good choices!

Don't & Do

 

The pink piece on the left is definitely daring, but is that the look you wanna go for in these beautiful, sensual images you are creating? The stunning piece on the left is timeless! The lace makes a gorgeous statement and the collar on it is just amazing, while the lace in the pink outfit competes with the straps and just makes it look “busy”.
A lot of women go for a bodysuit as one of their outfits, and that can be a great choice. Just make sure you are picking one that is flattering.
Bodysuit don't & do

 

When choosing lingerie don’t pick something that has side cut outs; these kinds of cut outs flatten out your boobies and create a very unflattering image. While the plunge on the right is a very flattering cut, creates great cleavage and looks great on many body types.
One more comparison for you today; remember that you want to be able to look at your images for years to come, without saying “I can’t believe I chose that outfit!”. You want to select pieces that are timeless, and not a reflection of todays style.
teddy don't & do

 

The outfit on the left is very modern looking, and those details are very reminiscent of the styles of todays lingerie. If you like the detail of lines, choose something like the outfit on the right which doesn’t reflect any specific era.
The closest store in our area is at Oakridge Mall. Don’t forget that Danea does wardrobe consultations and can meet you there and help you choose what will photograph well, best part is you can try them on and really see how they will look on your body!
 Go check out their store or website and find some beautiful, classic pieces for your shoot, or bedroom 😉

I came across a new (to me) company that ties in with last week’s theme, and I’m going with it! Lingerie can be pretty costly and I love to pass along deals, so here you go. It’s a company called Asos, and man they have some cute things for really good prices, and some gorgeous pieces for the extravagant budget. What I think I like most is that they have something for everyone. Take this teddy for example, you can order it in a tall size, curvy size, petite size or regular size. And it’s only $34!!!

Asos Bobbi teddy

 

They have some really great lingerie pieces as well, so much more than I could show you. These were some of my favorites.

They have everyday undergarments as well. 2 pack of T-shirt bras for $22, 2 pack of panties for $17, and even gym bras for $24.

When you think lingerie, what stores pop into your head first? For many I’m guessing Victoria’s Secret, Frederick’s of Hollywood or trendy boutiques. Would you think of a store like H&M for your lingerie? I went in the other day looking for something for my daughter, and briefly browsed around the store. I was shocked at how many cute things they had for lingerie, and great prices too. I put together a set of some items I found online that I liked.

h&m lingerie

 

The first thing that caught my eye in store was those cut out panties in the mint color. While I would prefer black (which they have) I adore the cut out and the look of the high waist. And they have a matching lace top.
Just like a normal outfit, details can make your break your look. Why should lingerie be any different? The back straps on the bottom left bra are a great addition to what could be an otherwise plain bra. The panties on the bottom right are satin in the front and lace with the cut out in the back; super cute! They even have beautiful bodysuits if you like to wear that.
So, where will you think of to buy your lingerie now ladies? Any stores that you can think of that are outside the typical lingerie store box?
