The Seductive Appeal of Agent Provocateur

We all know the intense draw we women feel towards exceptionally beautiful and fragile things... something about the french lace, the blindfolds, the naughty but delicate fluidity that we ourselves possess as well... and something about companies that are equally able to capture that essence and continuously deliver a product that we cannot imagine ourselves living without!

Welcome my darlings to the magical world of Agent Provocateur! A land of pin-ups, dominatrix vixens and flirtatious nymphs are all waiting to be discovered... a brand sugarcoated in to-die-for sex.

Not only are their styles and cuts impeccable, but the quality is pretty hard to top (Vivienne Westwood taught her son (one of the brand's owners and creators) right)!

I am now the owner of multiple AP bras, bustiers, nipple pasties and knickers and they all most definitely top my lingerie list. They make you feel like a doll... all dressed up in her best apparel, and well, I would be lying if I said that my boyfriend doesn't appreciate it ;).

Be sure to check out their summer collection and swimsuits (and stay tuned in for their sales - mega worth it)! If you're getting married, their bridal lingerie is TO DIE FOR!

Now go - spread the word my lovelies!

How to avoid becoming a Bridezilla

Alright, now I have a bone to pick... ladies, why do some of you get SO obsessed with your weddings as to go to the point of turning into a total and utter Bridezilla?!?

Does it really matter if the the napkin shades are off a tad? Do you need to bring out the attitude just because you spotted one dirty glass? I'm not sure I will ever understand the fascination behind the obsession, but here are a few tips to avoid terrorizing everyone involved in your bridal party...

• Don't be a control freak. Yes you want to get what you pay for, but be realistic. Some things will always be out of your control and last minute - don't let these things get to you and ruin your day as well as others.
  
  

• Remember what the day is really about. It's not about the cake having the perfect amount of flowers, the dress upstaging everyone else's or any of the material things surrounding you. It is about you committing to someone else for the rest of your life and promising to always be there for them. Start being the significant other that can handle reality from day one.
  
  

• Leave your ego at the door please. Yes, this day is about you... no, you are not God. Just because you will be the center of attention does not give you the right to step on other people or belittle them. Keep your head grounded no many how many wishes, congrats and compliments you may receive. Being humble is strongly underrated.
  
  

Hope these tips and tricks help you walk down the aisle with class and grace on your big day... nobody wants to be the bride everyone remembered as



BRIDEZILLA.... (ahhhhhhhhh!)

Fashion Fridays with the Boudoir!

Here are two looks we really love! Both gowns are a bit edgy, yet soft enough to be beautiful bridal wear! What we're loving about this is the POP of colour! It's a classy and simple way to add a little colour or incorporate your theme to your dress.

Need something blue? Show it off with these GORGEOUS gloves! They are perfect for pictures after the ceremony or reception! Easily matching them blue shoes - sex and the city Manolo Blahnik's would be a PERFECT match to these wonderful gloves!

Manolo Blahnik

Speaking about Manolo Blahniks - the Maddy K team found the BEST spot for some great Manolo deals.
About 1 hour north of New York City (and around 4-5hours South of Montreal) lays a fabulous outlet mall called Woodbury Commons. (Or as we often refer to as Mecca!) This amazing place has loads of fashions a amazing prices! Coach is by far the BEST DEAL - we were picking up purses and wallets for a fraction of the CND prices! And of course - we stooped into Manolo Blahniks - it was like heaven on earth!

I highly suggest you go to Woodbury Commons, even if for a day! It's amazing!

Have a great weekend!
