Don't hide in the shadows because some can't handle your light.-Ara

Some light work, spiritual work and the journey manifests itself in different ways.  Sensuality and sacred are siblings and not distant cousins.  And sometimes we forget that (well religious dogma, patriarchy, misogyny erases things). However, this beautiful mustard teddy reminds me of the Orisa Oshun.  And honestly, I was tired of my collection of lingerie being just black, red, and wine/merlot.  Who said seduction can't come in the form of the brilliance of the sun.

This teddy comes from, yep you guessed it, Fashion Nova. This comes in a spectrum of colors for every mood or vibe.

Material and Construction
This teddy is soft and feels like a hug or embrace after a long day.
website Details:
90 % Polyester/10% Spandex
Mesh and lace
 
You have stretchable lace that cover the cups and the core/center down to the brief. It does have an underwire and adjustable straps.  The rest of the teddy is made of a soft, breathable mesh and the brief of the teddy is a classic brief (giving coverage over the booty and the belly). The brief also snaps between thighs.

Some Thoughts
 This is playful and delightful. Extremely comfortable (the mesh, my Lordt).  It feels like a long over due embrace that you do not want to release.  When I step into it and pull the straps on my shoulders, I feel very coquettish. As if pleasure and playful  are chasing each other gleefully. Its that flirty side of sensuality like a an alluring giggle of an ingenue. Definitely glad I added to to my collection.

Ever though about journeying into the realm of submission, BDSM, some 50 shades of gray shit, but just aren't ready to engage the cat o' nine tales or a long handled whip? Maybe you want to just look the part minus the leather and latex.   Try the Dark Angel Teddy from Fashion Nova. I made this purchase and do not regret it.

Fashion Nova-Yes, ma'am. Yes sir.  That is what I said.  Believe it or not, Fashion Nova has numerous pieces of lingerie that you may have seen on other sites  or online boutique, but the prices are great.

This bad boy retails at 19.99 (and you now Fashion Nova always had sale). Given the price, we are not talking some silk imported from Japan or hand stitched, embroider garment, it is still a good deal. The size range is from xs-3x (20).

Material and Construction 
This teddy is constructed of a semi-sheer, stretchable material allowing your skin to breath. The cups are molded (underwire) with adjustable straps.  Accentuating curves of the body and slimming the waist, ribbons create a voluptuous  silhouette that is flattering on any body.  This lovely piece has  a bikini. brief cut with a snap between the legs and also garters to connect to stocking or to let them hang.  

I was surprise that I slept as peacefully as I did it. I was concerned of the straps not chaffing my shoulders or the cups being uncomfortable, nope. I was knocked out and had some great sleep.

​Dark Angel Teddy
​

The infamous “You Up?” text. Sometimes you have been waiting for this sign since you last saw your boo or this was just the surprise you need. But then you get hit with that follow up message: “I am on my way” or “Be there in 10.”

Or maybe you just want wear something for you. If I need a pick me up, I will put on something and prance around in it all day.  Yes, rocking lingerie is a part of a self care ritual and I love lace and to check myself out in the mirror for extended periods of time.

This little set is just what you need for an anticipated and unexpected rendezvous or when you feel the need to remind yourself how tempting you are.

Sigh.  I did not think after the first collaboration with amazing fashion blogger, Gabi Fresh and Playful Promises could come get any better. Welp, I was wrong. This second installment of this collection is flirty, sensual, fun and just an incredible collection for curvy women.  From this collection I grabbed the Belle set which features a simple, classic cami and these delicate, ornate knickers. I purchased the set in black, but it also comes in a jewel tone pink color.

The cami is made out of satin and offers a draper neckline.  If you prefer support, this does not have any padding or under wire, again it is a slightly draped neckline. If you want support, you can always wear a bra underneath it. It is not fitted, but has a flowing cut that allows for the skin to breath.  The straps are adjustable and meet at a very intricate lace pattern that forms a triangular racer back; this is a perfect accent to already delicate feel of the cami.

​Let’s talk about the bottoms.  It literally feels like you wearing the clouds or the dandelion seeds you blow once they turn white. The entire briefs are made of lace with the exception of the elastic waist band covered in the same satin material as top.  Now, I want to also explain that French knickers do not like fit like boy shorts, thongs, bikini briefs, etc. They will be loose around the thighs and gently hug the booty.  So they are loose fitting and you are free to put a thong or bikini bottom underneath.

​I would recommend this set if you are just starting out in wearing lingerie.  This two piece set is a great transition for someone who may have never worn lingerie or who normally sleeps in a tank top and some shorts.  I appreciate that this set will looked great on any shape (pear, diamond, hourglass, round, etc).  I have not slept in the set yet, but just based on the fabric and structure, this will be something you can easily sleep in.  Again, if you want something is alluring, classic and quaint, this is the set for you.

The first time I bought corset, I was 19 years old. The only place I knew to purchase  one (that would fit) was  Frederick's of Hollywood.  I honestly had no idea what I was doing when I was purchasing one, I just know  I was always fascinated with burlesque dances and the Venetian courtesans that wore them in my imagination. I also want a smaller waist, my breast to sit high, and pair them some baby phat jeans (showing my age). My glee of carrying out my black brocade corset in that red bag was a joy for me…and a good corset is still one of favorite pieces of lingerie.

If you are looking for a great first time corset (specifically a French style over bust corset), this is a great one to start with if you are a novice. The shape of this corset is a Valentine Victorian or sweet heart top.  The structure has boning throughout the piece and has the laced up back.  This comes with a side zipper and not the more common hook and eye clasp. The pattern has beautiful lace brocade and comes with a matching V-String.  The corset comes in the following colors: White, Black, Berry, Topaz, and Taupe and goes up to a size 44.
 
DISCLAIMER: AT THE AGE OF 34, I AM TRYING TO REALIZE WHAT MADE ME DESIRE TO HAVE SOMETHING EMBEDDED IN THE CRACK OF ASS. AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME, I CANNOT DO V-STRINGS AND G-STRINGS ANYMORE. MY CREASES AND CREVICES HAVE DENIED ALL FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES.
ALSO-DO NOT SLEEP IN YOUR CORSET!
​

​Some Key things to keep in mind when purchasing a corset:

• Take your measurements or have someone take your measurement.  Your band size for your bra  may not match the size needed for the corset .
• When you measure yourself make sure that you relax to get the most accurate measurement
• For waist training purposes with corset, you would subtract 4-5 inches from your waist

 
One of the best things about lingerie is that it can be both for a look for the night out or a night in. Whether it is some jeans, dress pants, or the matching V-sting, this flirty piece is very cute.  The side zipper does make more convenient to get on and off and not having to worry about missing a hook. Again, whether you are a novice or connoisseur, this is a great corset to have in your collection. This piece can be found at SpicyLingeire.com. 

As a fan of being, feeling and exuding my own definition of sexy, a great teddy will always be the piece of lingerie that  exudes that sensuality for me.

One of my favorite brand's to shop for lingerie that fits thicker and buxom-ness women is Spicy Lingerie.com.  This site hosts an array of lingerie from teddies, babydolls, chemise, corsets, etc.. Whether you are interested in french rococo style of lace to the faux leather of BDSM Spicy Lingerie has it.  I would be remiss if I did not mention that the sizes range from Small to 5XL.
