3 Tips to buying trendy and stylish lingerie

August 11, 2018 by Debz Louise Leave a Comment

Lingerie is an intimate part of a woman’s sexual side. They help bring out the beauty and sexiness of ladies and make them feel good and confident inside and outside. The choice of the right lingerie is very essential for a lady. Below are three essential guiding tips you can put in mind when choosing the perfect lingerie.

1. Bear In Mind the Occasion

Wearing lingerie that matches an occasion is very essential as it helps set the tone. There is lingerie that perfectly suits a date, an outdoor relaxation at the beach or just being indoors. Be very mindful of this. You would not want to wear lingerie that will embarrass you and make you look like a clown. For example, if you are heading out to the beach, perfect lingerie will be that which has bright colors. This sets that alluring tone for both you and your partner and even friends. If it is a Halloween type of occasion, it will be awesome to try out Gothic lingerie just so you blend in perfectly.

In addition, when choosing lingerie bear in mind the weather. For instance, during cold conditions, you will want to go for those that will guarantee you warmth. On the other hand, on hot conditions, you can go for the light and loose lingerie.

2. Go For the Stylish Designs

With fashion, all aspects are very important especially if you are seeking that elegant and posh look. Being an inner garment, many would tend to ignore this aspect, but it’s very essential. You would not want your partner to look at you and not feel turned on by her woman or you wear lingerie with a funny design that leaves you looking like a clown in front of your friends. To avoid these moments of embarrassment go for the best designs.

Start by going online and checking out the online lingerie stores or modeling websites for ideas. You will be able to view a wide range of designs from which you can select the ones that match your body and personal style. In addition, go for the recognized fashion brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton among others. Well, known fashion brands offer wide array lingerie with well-thought-out designs.

Also, you can have your partner, fashion stylist or friends help you out in case you find it hard settling on the best. Overall, go for different designs to give your wardrobe that refreshing feel.

3. Pay Attention to the Fabric

The fabric of a cloth will determine if it is worth buying or not. Do not indulge in something that you are not so sure of. Always go for lingerie whose fabric feels comfortable on your skin. A good lingerie fabric is the one which is silky and smooth. Lingerie with a rough fabric will bring about abrasion, itchiness and skin irritation when you wear them. Furthermore, go for lingerie with nice fabric colors and prints. This will add greatly to your overall style and look.


In a nutshell, the above tips are essential but they will work well if you can take the time to know your body. Everyone is different and body shapes are unique. The key thing is going for what suits your personal style and guarantees you maximum comfort.

Am I Ready To Date?

August 6, 2018 by Debz Louise Leave a Comment

I feel like once you start to get older and you remain
single, there becomes a pressure to date. People expect you to want to settle
down and have a family, so when you don’t do this, they can 
start to question
why this is.

I haven’t always loved dating and I haven’t always had the
best experiences, so there are times when I just don’t feel like dating at all.
I have always felt happy with this, knowing that my love life (or lack of) is
my decision and mine only. But that doesn’t stop people asking why you’re
single or when you’re going to settle down. I understand, I’m 35 so a “proper
grown-up” but that doesn’t mean that I want to date just for the sake of it.

I have never been one of these people who want to date just
because it means a night out. I know lots of people like getting out of the
house and so an excuse to go for a drink with someone else is a good way to do
this. However, that doesn’t work for me. I only see the point in going on a
first date with someone, where I feel like there will be a chance of a 2nd
date. I know life doesn’t always work like that, but I do try to live by that
if I can.

I always know when I am ready to do and when I need a break,
so I would say that you can listen to your own instinct and do what is right
for you.

When To Start Dating

Whether you have been single for a while or just out of a
relationship, it can be hard to know when to dive into dating again. I would
say there are no set rules, people are ready at time times and move at
different paces. The best thing to do is go in with no expectations, that way
you can just go with the flow and make it something you like – after all, dating
is supposed to be fun!

Remember as well, just because you have decided to join a
dating website doesn’t mean you have to rush out and meet people. There is
nothing wrong with sticking a toe in the water and getting a feel for it before
you dive right in. You might even just chit chat to a few people before you get
a feel for someone that you really want to get out there and meet – and that’s
okay too!

Dating The Right Way

One of the best things about online dating is that you
literally get to decide. For starters, there are different types of dating
websites out there. Want a casual hook up? Fine! Feel like you only want to
date someone really local? No problem! Fancy a sugar daddy? Go for it! Adult dating sites? Go for it! Serious
relationship? You got it! Of course, you do need to take lots of online dating
and what people tell you with a pinch of salt, but there’s definitely great
places to start!

Then of course, when you do sign up you get to choose what
goes on your profile and how much of yourself you put out there. For example if
you decide sex dating sites are the choice for you, you may decide to keep your
profile more vague than if you’re seeking a serious, long term relationship.

When I join traditional dating websites I tend to opt for a
nice selfie and a couple of full length pictures. It’s important to me that
people can see exactly what I look like and that they are happy with that. I
have a few paragraphs about what I am looking for, my body and my expectations.
That way, everyone knows where they stand and there should be no nasty surprises.
Of course, that isn’t always the case so every time I meet someone I tend
precautions to ensure I am safe. Always meet in a public place and let someone
know where you are going. 

Don’t go anywhere private with someone until you feel
comfortable and it is always okay to go home if you don’t feel safe. Make your
own way home and if they insist that you stay, remind yourself you are well
within your rights to leave.

Whenever you date, whoever you date, however you date – have
fun!

What’s Your Jewellery Style?

August 2, 2018 by Debz Louise Leave a Comment

Jewellery has been used to complement and enhance outfits for centuries. Many of us buy jewels to add interest to our wardrobes, but have you ever thought about what influences your individual style? Over the course of history, trends have changed and evolved, and it’s incredibly interesting to see what people wore through the ages, and how historical trends impact us today. 


This infographic shows popular styles from the early 1700’s to the 1950’s.

If you travelled back in time to the Georgian era, you’d be greeted with the sight of stunning, simple pieces, usually made from silver and embellished with gems. Ladies who wore diamonds tended to opt for Rose or Old Mine cuts. The British jewellery industry boomed during the reign of Queen Victoria, and pieces featuring elaborate designs and exotic materials became a common symbol of wealth and affluence. At this time, hearts, flowers, and animals were popular design options. The Arts and Crafts era (1860’s-1890’s) provided an intriguing contrast to styles of previous periods. Natural design features, such as leaves and foliage, became very popular and hammered metal was commonplace. 


At the turn of the 19th century, jewellery trends echoed a counter-cultural movement within society, and women opted for sensuous pieces that carried a meaning and enabled them to express their emotions and beliefs. Shortly after the end of Queen Victoria’s reign, pomp and ceremony returned, the mood lightened, and styles became more elegant and intricate. The Edwardian era also heralded the arrival of platinum. During the 1920’s and 1930’s Art Deco themes, which were influenced by the cultural scene in Paris, were all the rage, and this was followed by a nod to American styling in 1935 to 1955. Pieces were bold and brash and accessorising was all about stepping up the glamour and stealing the show.
