Spice Your Life Up With Sexy Lingerie

Monday, August 31st, 2009

I am on a particular schedule, Monday through Friday I work full time, I come home, go to the gym, take care of some errands and go to bed. Everybody suffers from these boring routines in some form or another, which can take the spark out of life let alone a relationship. The honeymoon phase only lasts so long until the multiple responsibilities in life begin to draw your attention away from your loved one and the spark that used to be so apparent.

I’ve found that it is absolutely crucial to keep things interesting when it comes to an intimate relationship. The honest truth is love sometimes isn’t enough. We need to keep our partner guessing, we need to keep them surprised, and what better way to surprise them than with some sexy lingerie. If you’re new to the whole idea of getting scandalous with your partner, lingerie is a perfect way to pump up the heat between you two without scaring him half to death. Showing him you have a wild side, more importantly that he brings this out of you, can make your bond that much stronger. You could give your partner a tease and send him some photos of you posing in your new attire while he’s at work. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how early he makes it home that night.

Even if you’re a single lady, they say that wearing sexy lingerie underneath your everyday clothes can pump up your self-esteem and enhance your self-confidence. If you’re past your teens and you’ve become an adult, we must face it ladies, we’re not as thin and fit as we used to. Our skin is no longer flawless and all the tanning we did while we were younger has begun to take its toll on our overall appearance. Pushing outside of your comfort zone and taking risks such as this will bring our youth back to us. You’ll be able to tell a significant difference in your overall demeanor and people that walk by you on the street will see that glow of sex appeal you now possess.

If you’re relationship is suffering from your mundane routine, or your self-esteem is crumbling due to your lack of attention you give to yourself and sexual potential try to spice things up with something as simple as sexy lingerie. You and your partner will feel that spark ignite all over again, and realize with something as simple as undergarments, a whole new you can be summoned forth.

Save the Date with Lingerie

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

I recently started working as an assistant at a boutique PR firm on top of my part-time position in retail. My job descriptions for the two jobs overlap, which really works to my benefit. The PR agency has a lot of clients in the fashion and retail industries and the integration of the two jobs helps me to understand a greater demographic in all things fashion. Fit, style, trends, Dos, Don’ts, mishaps, blunders, quick fixes. I am quickly learning it all and learning how to handle all circumstances under high pressures. While one job gives me the clients who set the trends, another job gives me clients who demand the trends. I can go from one place to the next incorporating the two with advantageous benefits, but it’s not so easy all the time. It’s definitely not at 9-5 and the hours that I spend round the clock are making me feel more like an on-call surgeon than a personal stylist. But I love it.

The relationships that that I have developed with my clients are evidence of the authentic value I have for them and the industry. I have even formed some great friendships over the past eleven months at both companies. On top of that, I have a great clientele base and great references that will hopefully get me in the door to more clients and companies.

With all the time I spend between the two jobs I realized how little time I had been spending with my main squeeze. I decided to plan a special night for us and slipped on sexy sheer lingerie set to wear for him. Just as we were getting cozy, I got a phone call. Lo and behold, one of my clients had an emergency issue. When I picked up the phone, she screamed, “I have a business dinner and a cocktail party on top of each other. Help!” I told her that doesn’t sound like a big problem and she said tonight was her and her husband’s anniversary. That was the big problem.

She didn’t want her husband to find out she had a scheduled conflict, but she couldn’t miss the events. The solution to her problems was to multi-function her outfit. A sleek black tube dress quickly transforms into a timeless black cocktail dress from leaving the dinner party wearing it as a fitted high wasted skirt which could accentuate her trim waistline over a scoop neck blouse. From the cocktail party to dinner, she switched from pearls to diamonds and from then on spent the rest of the night in her diamonds and an her sexy sheer lingerie.

Needless to say, the night ran as smooth and just as flawless as the sexy sheer lingerie she wore underneath. She even was noted for her pulling off seamlessly svelte and sexy chic in a recent magazine. When they asked her how she achieved the look, she said it took a little help from a friend with the skills of a brain surgeon.

Work Release

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

Everyone has an outlet. After a long day at work, what is the first thing you reach for to release your stress and feel good again? The bathtub? The shopping mall? The liquor cabinet? Before we got married, my husband had this thing with driving. He would never take public transportation even though it is more convenient. Every day after work, he would get in his car and take the long way back home. Not that he was avoiding his home life, but he needed that extra fifteen or twenty minutes to regroup and re-energize after a long day at work.

Since we’ve gotten married, I know exactly which days he’s going to take the long ride home. Honestly, I look forward to these days because it gives me a heads up and time to put on sexy womens lingerie. It’s not every day that he gets special treatment. But certain times call for certain needs. Just like he de-stresses with his long drive home, I seek out something slinky from my lingerie collection to surprise him. Some days, I even put it on for myself and run errands or take care of things around the house because it makes me feel sexy and confident to take on the world.

Last week he called me and said he had an extra hard day at work. I wanted to call bullshit, but I played along. I even teased him a little by taking my time. When he walked in the door, I was finishing up getting dressed. I put on my tallest stilettos and took my time buckling each strap across my six-inch heels. Before I let him put one hand on me, I grabbed him and pulled him into the kitchen. I told him it was his turn to cook. He laughed and said he couldn’t refuse a hot little number in sexy womens lingerie.

My husband and I are not perfect. We used to bicker like junior high kids. When we both engaged in the things that make us happy without worrying about the stress of the other one, we realized that in making ourselves happy we make each other happy. Sometimes it is the constant concern over another person that stresses everyone out. If you take the time out for yourself, I found out that it tends to make everyone happy. It just took me sexy womens lingerie to figure that one out.

Friday Night’s Perfect Accessory

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Think you got nothing to wear? Think again. Better yet, think elsewhere. Whenever I can’t find an outfit to wear, I head over to my friend’s closet and pull out cute pieces to play up or play down with the look I am going for. It’s like going on a shopping spree full of mix-n-match goodies. Plus, it’s free! Of course there are times when even that isn’t an instant cure. Sometimes, nothing looks good or everything is just plain blah. I know the feeling. So if every outfit seems to be a total failure, I have some advice for you. Lay down your arms, hold back your tears of frustration, and wave your white flag to whatever god or higher being out there that was not making your feel pretty today. Surrender—at least for the night.

It’s not anybody, but you that is making yourself feel anything less than desirable. You need to spit out the same bland look and get some added flavor into your look. How do you expect your eyes ever to pop if you wear your eye makeup the same way every day? After time, you will get bored with your own look if you continue to create the same smoky eye effect every day. The same goes for your style. Stop wearing a black top every night. It looks the same even if you can tell the difference. Add an accessory if you’re afraid to change up or play it up with leather bras. Try a shiny gunmetal hue to pop out underneath your tank top. Whatever it is, take this weekend off from the same monotonous routine and boost your sexiness with something different.

You need a new look, a revitalizing vigor of style, or a funky piece to boost your confidence and spice up your look. Maybe it’s just an accessory or even a whole new edge. Take risks. Stay trendy. How? One way is to accessorize outside the norm. Shoe accessories, layers, and bras are some of the best ways to turn your boring outfit into a hot funky piece. Say you are on a time restraint and have 15 minutes to sass up your day outfit. Leather bras are the perfect twist to spice up your look when it becomes the same old black dress or skinny jeans and a top every weekend. If you haven’t by now, you already should have picked up a glamorized bra to mix with your look. Check out online stores for different piece to compliment the look you’re going for. The quickest way to achieve a quick fix to a dull look is to strip off your worn bra and tie on something that oozes sexy. Don’t stick with the same look. If you want to feel sexy and confident again, you know how to make that happen!

Secrets to Make your Portfolio Stand Out from the Rest

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

The competition is fierce. Okay, I am guilty of using that cliché more than a few times. But it’s true. The modeling industry makes it difficult to be discovered. Even if you have “the look” it is easy for your face to get lost in the crowd. As a fashion photographer, I have seen too many gorgeously unique models lose out on the perfect gig to launch their career because they failed to emphasize one detail that significant to their career, as well as throughout. They did not maintain the life in the portfolio. Whether you are an aspiring model doing TFP or TFCD or have endless experiences as a paid professional, the key to getting the gig is to keep a well-developed portfolio. Every business thrives on strategy. Modeling is a business.

I am always looking for new models to build my own portfolio. I have received some of the best experiences in my career by building myself as a professional with a unique eye, a recognizable signature, and the ability to take risks that demonstrates versatility. When working with a new model, I scan their photos for images that pop. While many have great images, there are few that realize the art of image and how much it makes a difference in more than a thousand words.

I recently worked with a model who wanted me to help her create a new look. I immediately thought GLAM PUNK. I sent her out on a mission to find texture. Satin, leather, tree bark, whatever. She came back with leather lingerie and then we set up a photo shoot. The pictures were completely jaw-dropping. My stylist outfitted her in the leather lingerie and incorporated diverse looks that marked her across all categories. The photos documented her different and signature “look” at the same time. The lighting techniques worked the texture and feel of the lingerie. The resulting images literally made it hard to pull your eyes away her.

We both benefit from having an eye for art and knowledge of the technical aspects. She has since booked projects with her favorite photographer and up-and-coming designers and has grown into her career. Clients want to work with her because of her knowledge and her aesthetic. She now refers to herself as an artist and a true businesswoman. My piece of advice is: Don’t fall behind. Take every opportunity to build your portfolio. Developing your portfolio will separate the best models from the competition to get the attention and notice that truly is deserved.

Sexy Lingerie in Case of Emergency!

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Don’t get caught in your dirty skivvies! What if your Friday night date reveals your Wednesday panties? Even if they’re clean, there’s nothing to say that can rid his mind of that image of you in your two-day old panties. Did your mother ever tell you to put on clean underwear in case you were in an accident? Mine did. It sounds a little crazy, but after my night I feel the need to pass it along. Don’t be caught dead on the way to the emergency room in your granny panties! That’s why you should wear your sexy lingerie at all times!

Last summer I went to my best friend from college’s bachelorette party. We had so much fun. It started out at her sister’s house in Odessa, Texas and ended up in the county ER. I’ll get to that soon. The party started great. We were all giddy like little girls. All the bridesmaids, family cousins, and even her aunts showed up for a passion party and one uncle who stood in the corner uncomfortably switching his feet. How embarrassing! Especially when they started to pass around the vast assortment of novelty toys. I think her aunts had more fun than some of us girls. We checked out all the fun items including sexy sheer lingerie! I picked out a couple of the bra and panty sets and was impressed with the silky feel and sexy cut of the design. We convinced my friend to buy her bra and panties to wear under her wedding dress and on the honeymoon. I’m sure the groom was happily surprised!

After the party, we decked the bride out in a condom-covered veil and got ready to hit the town. Our first stop was a local red neck country bar. Best of all, tonight this bar was featuring The Thunder from Down Under, a male review show from Australia. Nothing beats best friends, lots of alcohol and male strippers. We sent the bride on stage for a personal dance and a notorious pre-wedding shot, the Blow Job (topped with whip cream!). Huge Jackman, The stripper came out in his chaps, cowboy hat and leopard-print thong and ended up in a headstand on the bride’s lap. It was all in good fun until by freak accident he slipped on a fallen condom wrapper and landed on his shoulder. Cowboy hat crushed. Her face was so red. She was trying to keep a straight face or at least look appreciative, but how could she. It was her prophylactic that made him fall! All she could do was bust out laughing. We took all sorts of pictures, but the evidence has since been destroyed.

An ambulance was called right away and we watched Huge Jackman be carried off by the EMTs in just a neck brace and his leopard thong. We felt so bad! The club owners insisted that my friend get her leg checked out. But she refused. She had on granny panties that night and her mother’s words of wisdom relentlessly rang in her head like high voltage wedding bells. You never know when you’ll get caught in an accident so wear cute panties just in case.

Don’t Leave the Reception without Bridal Lingerie

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Gag gifts are fun and great party ideas for the bride to be. But you definitely don’t want to start your Honeymoon wearing a candy thong or an electronic telegram; a robot device is a sad excuse for any type of wearable panty. My bridesmaids threw me a prank-wedding shower.

I opened up the first gift and pulled out crotchless panties—rainbow- colored and definitely male lingerie. My friends burst out laughing and said, “That’s for the groom!” It didn’t end there. Each following gift was a totally eccentric piece of so-called bridal lingerie to wear on my wedding night. My favorite was a pink thong equipped with a back pocket for condoms. It even included a bonus pull string that prompted a chorus to rap the first 2.5 seconds of “Here Comes the Bride.”

It was all fun and games and we had a good laugh—up until the real wedding shower. When my girls finally threw me a genuine party, everyone was there. My mom, sisters, friends, aunts, and little cousins all got me great presents. Dining ware, silver ware, kitchenware, Tupperware, bath wear, you name it! I was set to be the quintessential wifey. My fiancé loves to cook so they brand new pots n’ pans were great to replace his old rusty ones. I was excited to receive all these necessary and functional items, but I couldn’t help but wonder where is my sexy bridal lingerie?

I can’t say I left disappointed. I was really pleased with all my gifts, but I had one more thing to do on an extensive list of things-to-do before my wedding night. I asked my maid-of-honor to come lingerie shopping with me and she looked confused. She told me I had tons of choices from the previous party. And she was dead serious. I panicked. Where was I supposed to round up any time to shop in the mall? I was on a tight schedule and was not expecting this from my best friend. For a second, I felt like Bridezilla and then she started laughing. She told me that she had waited to purchase the wedding night goodies so we could shop together. I reached for my keys and she took them away. She said there is not need to rush around in a shopping mall or deal with pesky salespeople when we can shop online from a great website that carries sexy intimates and bridal lingerie. I didn’t have to risk the store not having my size and even chose some pieces from their top picks and online exclusive deals. My best friend truly came through and I remembered exactly why I made her my maid-of-honor.

3 Must-Have Lingerie Pieces

Monday, August 24th, 2009

There are endless options available when it comes to choosing lingerie. It is fun to stock up on sexy intimates, but for some the decision process is dreadful. When you are on a limited budget, it is difficult to choose from such a wide variety of sexy collections. If you are looking for new lingerie to spice up your vanity drawer and your sex appeal, make a list that includes the top three must-have lingerie. Consider the occasions when you want to feel most alluring and desirable and narrow down your options to make the most rewarding decision—financially and otherwise.

1. The matching bra and panty set
Got a hot date? Whether it’s your first date with a new love interest or your anniversary with your partner, you must have a matching bra and panty set to ignite the flame or to keep the arousing fire burning in the bedroom.

2. The Garter
Feeling frisky lately? Surprise your man with a mini garter skirt. Your cheeky bottom peeking out from behind is a guaranteed turn-on. Tease your man with a low-rise garter belt and don’t let him take them off until he can’t hold back anymore.

3. The Teddy
Feel like staying in tonight? If you’ve planned a night that requires nothing but the pleasure of your lover’s company, cozy up to him in a flirty teddy. Even if you are just planning dinner and a movie on the couch, keep the mood playful with a sheer or satin teddy to spark his interest. He’ll remember why the best nights are nights you both stay in together.

You don’t have to compromise your sexy indulgence when it comes to being a recessionista. If you’re feeling the harsh economy, escape the lingering depressive mood in the air and take a care-free night to enjoy yourself in the company of an admirer. Not only does lingerie bring out your sexy side, it sets a romantic mood to spend the night in complete relaxation and the indulgence you deserve.

Add an Edge to Your Style with Leather Corsets

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Feel adventurous? Naughty? Daring? Take a risk and amp up your style with a Rihanna-esque ensemble to liven your outfit this weekend and step it up with the latest trends this Fall. Leather, whether real or substitute, is in. My favorite look is the sleeveless moto jacket hoodie with a satin lining. You can throw it over a lacey balconette bra or patterned bandeau top for the perfect look and show some confidence by leaving the zipper a little unzipped. This look is classy when matched with the right denim. If you’re feeling shy, layer it on with a slub tank so you can feel a little more covered and still show off your style by letting the details of your bra peek out.

This season, get your basic DOs & DON’Ts straight.

DO:

• Layer cut-off denim shorts over sheer tights to elongate your sexy legs.
• Wear trend-setting booties, keeping up with the season’s trends.
• Take risks in small doses.

DON’T:
• Match shredded leggings with jeans shorts. (Distress them yourself at your own high risk.)
• Wear platform wedges exposing too much foot skin in the middle of Autumn.
(I don’t care how warm it still is, summer trends are OVER when the leaves fall.)
• Add a rocker edge with one leather piece. Anything more is overkill.

If you’ve been obsessing over Twilight and True Blood for the past year, you know how hot vampires are right now. Do not worry. You don’t have to go to Fangtasia to find women in leather corsets. They are not just for fetish and bondage anymore and you don’t have to party with vampires to fit in. I found an awesome website online that sells leather corsets for club wear and dancers that can be worn by anyone with a kick-ass attitude. Who doesn’t love Rihanna and her fearless style? This girl’s got it down. She is sleek and trendy, hot and fresh, daring and sexy, all at the same time. She is not afraid to take risks and set trends. When I think of Rihanna, I think of a girl that can pull off anything with a sexy edge.

Leather corsets look hot with skinny jeans and booties. Think Rihanna plus Coyote Ugly and you get a spicy mix of edginess, intrigue, and thrill that will leave your admirers in awe.

Is Lingerie for Women the Tie-Breaker?

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

In the battle of the sexes, who has it worse: men or women? Who has it better?
The arguments never cease. The debates between men and women go back and forth relentlessly when it comes determining which sex has the advantageous life. I’ll never know what it feels like to be a man so I can’t knock their argument. I’ll give ‘em the benefit if they present a good case, but I am partial to women having it a little harder and it’ll take a lot to convince me otherwise. However, as much as I love being a woman, there are times that make me think it is so much easier for males. You know what I’m talking about: “that time of the month.” Bloating, cramps, hormone frenzy. You know how it is. When it feels unbearable, my mother always says, “It’s because you’re at that age.”

So what is that age? Apparently, the 20s are truly roaring. Everything is a hundred times more intense. The cramps, the emotions, the horniness is hard to ignore. Historically, this is your body’s prime time for baby making. Then there’s the emotions, the heart ache, and every now and then we have moments of absolute annoyance rooted in the feeling that every man’s eyes are falling right on your cleavage. Go away, oogly eyes. I remember when my co-worker told me he found a sexy bra and panty set for his girlfriend from an online boutique that specialized in lingerie for women. Unfortunately, he gifted her the set at the wrong time of the month. She refused to put it on and started crying. A week later, he said she was struttin’ around the apartment in her little number. Lesson learned for him.

I’m starting to think the secret to beauty is a torturous ritual: the stilettos, the waxing, the tweezing, and all the painful acts we endure to look hot are well known and understood by most women. The daily routine to stay looking good and sexy at all times can be exhausting without a break. It takes my friends and me nearly two hours to get ready on the weekends! The standards are rising. I had a client the other day point out a woman in a sundress as a top beauty offender for not wearing any leg make-up. Not only do we make up our faces, we can’t go out looking less than flawless everywhere: décolletage, cleavage, legs, and the list goes on.

Thank God there is lingerie for women. Then, there are guys. They have it so easy, right? The only thing working against them—so it has been quoted—is their noticeable arousal. Get over it. You like it. We like it (in good measure).

The debate’s over. When I put on lingerie, I expect my man to react with proof that he loves it. I feel sexy. I know you think I’m sexy. We both have it good. It’s a tie.
