I've Got Nothing to Hide + Vedette Shapewear Giveaway

So I am sure you all remember my last post from Vedette Shapewear, where I embraced my curves and showed you all my bod in shapewear! It was a challenge for sure but this one is a little more so... let's up the anty and you have this post's challenge. Vedette has a smashing line of sexy shapewear that can be styled for the private moments in your life but also, as I discovered, some more public moments... as in wearing it in public. I was tasked with choosing one of the Sensuale line of shapewear to style as I saw fit and then show you how fantastically I looked into it. Here is where I struggled. I put on the smashingly luxurious Josephine bodysuit and felt uncomfortable, not because of the product but because it was sexier than I usually let myself be. When the man saw me, he was like "Whoa girl, you look good." (I took poetic license on that one there) I took another look in the mirror and was able to see what he sees, someone who looks good, normally exudes the confidence and needed to rock this look. So here you have it.

Couture Design Complete

Last Thursday night was my last night of my Couture Design Class. We basically had three projects for the semester. The main project was constructing a corset, which was pretty much my life for the past few months. We also had a designer project, similar to a report on a biography you did back in high school. Lastly, we had a draping project, which was squeezed into a very tiny time frame, and made me want to pull my hair out... but it's done and I learned a lot... like how I am my own worst critic.

Obsession Alert: Pura Vida Bracelets

I can't even remember where it was that I first saw Pura Vida Bracelets. Maybe it was someone's Facebook page or a mention on Twitter but while the love affair has been short, it has been glorious thus far. It started with their swift and fantastic support of Boston Strong with the sale of their Boston Strong bracelets. Pura Vida Bracelets strongly believes in giving back. They are donating 100% of sales to the One Fund... that's pretty amazing. PS. You should grab one! I bought one for myself, my Mom and my sisters. Feeling the pressure yet? ;-)
