Fashion Friday Velvet Secret| Santa Clara Victoria’s Secret

It’s getting a bit chilly outside. I LOVE IT!! When that happens there are certain favorite fabrics that come to mind for everyone. For me, my favorite has always been and will always be VELVET. It’s soft to the touch, flattering on the form and toasty during a frosty night. Even a trim of the alluring fabric sends the imagination soaring. The wonderful thing is I am not the only one who thinks it’s time to roll out the velvet. In fact, Victoria’s Secret has the best collections in this material. They have also dedicated an entire section under Victoria’s Secret Fashion Hub that illuminates this trend in so many diverse ways. Here are some of my personal picks from their Velvet Collections…

It’s night time and not a thing left to do. Date night is fun, but you want to make it unforgettable and dazzling. It’s time to go into your closet and pull out your trusty ‘After Dark’ look, complete with the perfect lingerie to finish the night off.

Purple is the color of royalty and you deserve to look like a queen. It can be a very dramatic statement or show a softer side of you depending on the shade. From it’s darkest to it’s lightest shades this versatile hue never ceases to impress your love.

Black is a go-to classic! It caters to every event. Whether it’s a gala gown, a little black dress or a wild rocker piece. The thing that makes black truly the best is the ability to mix and match colors and patterns since black goes with everything.

Red is the color of love, lust, desire, and everything that makes an after dark date even more fun. It’s an extremely powerful color that evokes a very raw emotion in not only the person wearing it but the person staring at you from across the room.

Dark teal is a color I feel is often overlooked for such an occasion. It is as versatile and sexy as your more classic colors. It also compliments every skin tone and body shape. Think of a colorful peacock when thinking of this magnificent color.

I know solid colors are fun and flirty, but you want to spice it up even more. Well, all that glitters is glamor for your date night. Don’t be afraid to sport those hand-sewn crystal embellishments and shimmery sequence with a boost of color!

No matter where the night takes you and that special ‘After Dark’ date, make sure it leads you to new adventures and experiences.

What to Wear Wednesday | Santa Clara Santa Cruz Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

I am not the type of girl who wears skirts just because. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I am very much a jeans and t-shirt wearing gal. I do however enjoy dressing up when the occasion calls for it, and I appreciate pieces of wardrobe that can be worn many different ways from formal to casual.

A pencil skirt is a great option for putting outfits together. Depending on how you style them they can be a fantastic look for office attire, date night, ladies night out, or casual day at the beach or maybe even a concert! I have a dress that fits like a pencil skirt on the bottom and it is my go to favorite little black dress. There is something about the way a pencil skirt hugs and the hips and through the legs that makes me feel sexy. And I do believe that this silhouette looks great on every body shape. I’m telling you, something about the shape of it is very sexy ladies. Oh, and just imagine wearing this skirt with some stilettos and a bra (or braless!) for your photo shoot! Smokin’ hot ladies!

Let me show you some ways to wear a pencil skirt at an office or for a professional job.

You can choose a gorgeous colored skirt and pair it with a complimentary top. If your job requires you to wear a blazer this skirt pairs perfectly with one.

A wrap pencil skirt is another great option for a professional look.

A patterned skirt is a great look for work,

or for a casual day.

How would you feel wearing this out for a Spring date night?

Spring Date - Burberry Geometric Print Pencil Skirt

I found so many great looks for wearing pencil skirts when I was searching, I’m having trouble not sharing them all with you! The last way to wear a pencil skirt I’ll talk about today is for a casual look. Get out of those jeans and put on a casual skirt for the day (talking to myself here ;))

Tricky Trend: Pencil Skirts and Sneakers

Ah ok, just one more because it is so freaking gorgeous! Look for a lace pencil skirt! Swoon.

What’s your favorite? Would you go for a professional look or are you more of a casual pencil skirt gal?

What to Wear Wednesday | Mountain View Los Altos Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

What is better than soft, cozy pajamas? Soft, cozy pajamas that you can also bring and wear at your boudoir photo shoot!

Now, I’m not talking about some long pants and long sleeved ratty shirts, even though they be your most comfortable pair of pj’s. Two piece pajamas can be comfortable and can be sexy for your photo shoot.

Look at this amazing pajama set. I’m seriously considering adding this to my closet. It looks so comfortable and I love the detail in the neckline.

Soma In Bloom Penny Lane Cami Shorts Pajama Set

Here’s another set from the same company, Soma Intimates.

Soma In Bloom Idlewild Cotton Cami/Shorts Pajama Set

Aren’t those both great?! So comfy looking yet would look great at your photo shoot with Danea.

I love the ruffles on the top of this one.

Three Graces London Francis and Ariel pyjama set

The eyelash lace that this set is trimmed in haps elevate it to a more sophisticated look, even though it’s still pj’s.

The layered shorts and the flow top of this outfit would be so comfortable to sleep in, and sexy for your photo shoot.

Flora Nikrooz 2-Piece Camisole Sleep Set

Now of course you don’t have to go with something like I posted, choose something that is more your and your style! That’s probably one of the most important things when choosing items for your photo shoot; if you’re not comfortable in it you are going to think of that every time you see your photos. Who wants that?!! If something like this is more your style, go for it! Danea will still help you look and feel amazing.

I hope I’ve helped you consider some ideas a bit out of the box for your photo shoot. There’s nothing that says you have to purchase anything new, or bring lingerie (even though most women do). Choose what your comfortable in!

Lace dresses have been trending lately, and I love showing you what’s in style currently. I love that there are many different shapes and styles of lace dresses out there, so you can definitely find something that suits you.

I love that you can find a beautiful bold colored lace dress to wear.

And I love that you can find a long sleeve style.

This two tone dress is amazing!

If you prefer color over neutrals but don’t was something super bright, check out this gorgeous green lace dress.

But if you do prefer something bright, check out this pink dress.

Maybe you prefer just a hint of lace instead of a full lace dress, don’t worry, there’s a dress for you too.

I love that this dress is a bit longer than most, and that it’s lined then sheer at the bottom. This dress would be a great choice for a spring or summer date night.

What’s your style of lace dress? Do you prefer something a bit fancy, or more casual? Bright colored or neutral?

Piggy backing on a post from a few weeks agoÂ about how a little detail can really make an outfit, today I’m going to feature another detail.

Today’s detailed piece of clothing is detailed jeans. So simple but it really changes the look and feel of an outfit. What’s nice about purchasing your jeans with the rips or distressed look already there is that they are placed inÂ strategic areas.

Ripped jeans can look sloppy, but if you pair them correctly you can look amazing.

Pair them with a casual v-neck top and some flat sandals for an easy going everyday look. To this I would add a light necklace, maybe an under shirt, and some bangles.

Another way to pair your ripped jeans is to wear them with that new off the shoulder top you purchased after last weeks blog (right?!). I have to say I am not a fan of showing your bra but for some reason I thinkÂ it works with this top.

It doesn’t take much of a ripped look in your jeans, sometimes a little goes a long way. And I am in love with this top.

But if you are feeling that maybe a little rip in the knee isn’t enough, feel free to find a pair of ripped jeans that suit your taste and style. Maybe these are more up your alley. Pairing them with the heels in this outfit helps bring this into a nicer look.

Who says your ripped denim has to be the typical blue? It doesn’t.

What do you prefer? A few rips or tons? Blue denim or colored denim? How do you like to pair your ripped denim?

A fun way to add a little jazz to your outfit is to wear an item that has some embroidery. You may be thinking “She can’t be serious” but hear me out and give me a chance. I’m not talking about embroidered items your grandma would wear. I’m talking about classic, nicely done embroidered pieces.

Try pairing a beautiful floral embroidered top with jean shorts for a casual sporty look, or a summery skirt.

An embroidered skirt can be a stunning wardrobe item too.

Embroidered shorts or jeans can be beautiful to wear as well.

And of course don’t forget an amazing embroidered dress

Embroidered Floral Sleeveless Ball Gown Dress

What do you think ladies? Would you add one of these items to your wardrobe? I hope I’ve opened your eyes to something you may have passed along before.
