Leather Lingerie: Sensual, Sexy & Supple

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Have you ever worn leather? Ever felt it touch your skin? Smelled it while your eyes were closed? Leather is a unique material unlike any other you will find. It’s unique characteristics make it different than wearing anything else.

Lingerie is very popular to say the least. Leather lingerie, while not nearly as popular as many other common types of lingerie, is certainly quite special. Although the comfort ability of lingerie has improved immensely over time, still nothing can compare to the feel and touch of leather lingerie.

Leather doesn’t itch or scratch you as you put it on. Leather is initially cool to the touch and then it warms up with you as it becomes one with your body. All leather has its own aroma that is unmistakable.

From gloves to chaps and pants to boots leather has been used throughout history to protect the fragile skin of human beings. But wearing leather in an intimate way does something quite different than any thing else. It seems to bring out certain primal feelings that are buried deep in your subconscious mind.

Maybe it is something being drawn out of the human psyche from thousands of years of evolution when the first cave men and women would wear leather to cover their naked bodies.

Increase Your Casual Wear Flair

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Let’s put a way the flip-flops, pack up our summer shorts and bring out this fall’s newest line of casual wear. In today’s fast paced and changing lifestyle, we women love to dress casual. We want to feel good about ourselves and our femininity and still be able to do everything our lifestyle dictates while looking great.

Casual wear is not just a fad. Women demand chic, sexy styles with that built-in comfort factor with the right flair.

We love being able to just “throw something on” and wear it all day. But before we do that we need to build a core wardrobe of basic items with enough variety to keep from being boring.

To start with there are several color combinations that go well together – khaki, denim, tan and black, khaki, white. Choose cohesive pieces and build around the basic styles.

Casual shoes are also important. Please ladies, no white running shoes. I repeat, NO WHITE RUNNING SHOES! Stick with a pair of boots or sandals.

Match casual wear with casual accessories and handbags. Try to stay away from mixing styles.

Keep your casual clothes pressed and clean. Don’t be lazy and wear wrinkled clothes. That’s not a good look on anyone.
