Now that you've booked your boudoir session, where on earth do you find your boudoir wardrobe?! Can we even call it a wardrobe? :) 

Shopping for lingerie can be insanely intimidating, plus where on earth does one shop if they're looking for unique pieces that won't make you look back and say "oh yeah! 2018! The year of the strappy bralettes". 

Here in Atlanta (though they also have online stores) I wanted to remind you that there are two amazing brick-and-mortar stores.

What this means is that you can try lingerie ON and get hands-on advice for what looks best on you. Bonus: trying lingerie on around someone you don't know will really help prepare you for your boudoir session.

Kidding, but not really.

Love love love this bodysuit by BlueBella (available at any of the below stores)

Anna Bella Fine Lingerie in Alpharetta is a beautiful boutique with an amazing owner, Pam, to assist you in your lingerie needs. For our boudoir clients they never steer wrong, and there are options for every style, size, and budget. 

Trashy Diva Intimates is located in the Poncey-Highlands area of Atlanta and is fresh in town from New Orleans! Their boutique is stunning and includes a dress-shop as well! Style, size, and budget are no issue here... plus they have a wide variety of burlesque accessories for all of you looking to branch out in your talents. 

As always, tell them we sent you, say yes to something out of your comfort zone, and enjoy the experience. 

In love and lingerie,

Sarah

"You're so vain", but who cares (especially when it comes to boudoir)

Sometimes vanity pushes us in the most positive of directions and that direction can lead us down an instagram wormhole that puts out out at my studio's doorstep. I don't really know how many times that actually happens to people, but I can count a few. This gorgeous human walked into my boudoir studio as a result of her husband's encouragement and on her OWN damn volition. We had such a fantastic time cracking up while trying to make the "sexy face". Spoiler: we succeeded in the sexy face but the bloopers are hilarious. 

I am so proud of her for being so open with us during her shoot, with you that are reading this, and with the future readers. She has an amazing joy and air about her... plus she is pretty F***ing hot. 

Read on ( preferably while blasting Metallica),

Just do it !!! Don't wait til you loose 5 pounds or w.e. you are concerned about. It'll be amazing regardless. We all have issues with something about out bodies and we are all beautiful!! Just do it!!!! You won't regret it.
