Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day

I’m making some suggestions for you this year for Valentine’s Day. Not for any other reason than I’m a gift loving girl and I’m convinced that I have some good ideas. PLUS. You all know it’s my birthday so I’ve got this day wired.

I was born to.

1. Go beyond chocolates. Does your Valentine have a favorite dessert? Have that ready with coffee for breakfast. Start the day with a little sugar.

2. Be present with each other. Go for a walk. Make eye contact. Hold hands. Sit on a bench. Sit in the grass. Soak in your surroundings and have small talk. Adoration goes a long way.

3. Flowers. Yes. We say we don’t want them this one day of the year, but if you don’t get them we will feel sad. We will. Deep down. We all want flowers everyday, but especially on this day. If you don’t already have a habit of sending flowers this is your day to shine. There is a synergetic, blissful moment when the delivery man comes in, you look up, hold your breath a little, make eye contact, (everyone in the room is watching) and he hands you your flowers. The only thing better is you delivering them to your Valentine’s desk yourself.

4. Colour Me Good/ Ryan Gosling Edition. Don’t kid yourself. This little book is packed with greatness. You will knock her socks off for admitting that Ryan Gosling is America’s Sweetheart and you would fancy nothing more than to color his abs in with her.

5. Cooking. Maybe it’s lessons.  Maybe it’s the two of you and some recipes in the kitchen at home. What it definitely is, is you two getting creative and sexy with some of your favorite foods. Oh my god. Do Fondue. Please. Lets bring back fondue this year. Feed each other. Lick your fingers. Talk dirty about the dip.

6. Lingerie. Whatever you do here, be sure it’s something for BOTH of you. Something to be enjoyed not just one night a year…and please. For me. For you. For Valentine’s Day. For the entire world. Don’t get anything cheap. It just leaves a bad impression. Keep it classy.

7. Jewelry. Refer to #6

8. Valentine’s Day Cards. Hmmmmm. Let’s be creative with this. Maybe not a hallmark card but lipstick on the mirror or your tummy. Better yet, wake them with you writing your love letter across their stomach. That’s what I’m talking about. Or refer to #1 and get a tube of icing….

9. Spa. Massage. Relax. Unwind. I know. Same ol’ same ol’. Try this approach. Call your Valentine ahead of time and say, “I’m not sure how you feel about this, but I feel like, you know, with this love of ours being so grand and energetic, we need to relax a little. Would you be open to getting a massage?”

10. Sweet Something’s. Tell your Valentine they hung the moon. They are the slap to your jack. The butter to your toast. The bee’s knees. The zing to your zang. Don’t let them doubt for one minute, they are the reason Valentine’s Day and romance exist.

AND THEN….REPEAT.

Love should be exploited everyday, all day. We ALL know it comes and goes. It has its ups and downs. When it’s good, it’s sooo good.  Make a ruckus with it y’all.

 

Lascivious

By: Ash | February 7, 2013

Only good girls have time for diaries…

The rest of us are drooling and pining over Lascivious.

The spring collection is out and it comes as no surprise it’s jaw dropping, head turning, thought provoking, straight up RAD.

The use of lace, faux leather, f-bombs, waist cinchers, and ouvert panties is done in such a way that even the Betty who tends to err on the side of conservative can’t help but picture herself in these pieces. I know this because I see it happen time and time again.

Lascivious is one of few brands that is able to appeal to all women because their products and collections are done so tastefully with the finest fabrics, that you notice only second, how revealing and straight up sexy they are.

Enough Talk. More Drool.

In exploring all the different aspects of a being a Betty and revealing her through lingerie, I find the most common, uncommonly explored side, would be a woman’s ‘vixenesque’, take charge, side. Lascivious makes that role easy, almost effortless, for you. The lingerie speaks volumes. Take this t-shirt for example;

The back says ‘ME’ –YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING!!!

This last look is a must for sporty spice. All cool blue modern hotness….

How can you not LOVE Lascivious with all your heart plus glitter and hugs?!

I think I can only define my love as hardlove. Yes. One word. Just for Lascivious (and Ryan Gosling….) I have hardlove for Lascivious. There. I said it.

BYOF; Bring Your Own Friend

BYOF; abbreviation, Bring Your Own Friend

I was recently thinking about what defines a great friend and immediately was reminded of this quote;

“A friend is like a good bra: hard to find, comfortable, supportive, always lifts you up, makes you look better, never lets you down or leaves you hanging, and is always close to your heart.”

This month, I want to celebrate great bras AND great friends.  So grab your bestie, come in for some shopping, and you will BOTH receive 20% off your purchase.

In exchange, I ask that you participate in our contest! Take a picture with your bestie shopping in the Bou’ and post it one of the following ways… Mention @TeddiesforBettys on Facebook or use #TFBbesties on Instagram and Twitter to enter and win a gift card to Milk and Honey for 2 pedicures and $100 to 2nd Bar and Kitchen.

The picture that conveys the most creativity, fun, and straight up proof that you two are truly best of friends, wins. (As always, you have to keep it classy)

WINNERS announced January 28th

 Lets celebrate friendship, savings, and fabulous lingerie together this month!!! What better way to kick off 2013?!

Snuggle Me

By: Ash | January 5, 2013

These cold nights have me wanting to very few things aside from cooking comfort food, reading, or snuggling up for a good movie. Regardless of the activity, you can bet I’m doing it in something cozy. Here are just a few of my favorites from Cosabella.

 

 

Let’s do the Twist

By: Ash | December 3, 2012

Make way for Prima Donna’s little, sassier sister, Twist. It’s the perfect option for the fuller cup who is looking for a fashionable twist on her lingerie, without breaking the bank. Best part? Same quality you’ve come to expect from the brand.

So come on ladies, let’s do the Twist.

Possibly Maybe is an unlined cup that’s adorned with laces, bows, and a little bit retro. Twist at its best.

Nostalgia in imperial purple. I love the soft half cup.  Perfect for the girl who wants a little molded shape but not too much volume. The ruffle is just icing on the cake.

Mademoiselle in a passion pink molded cup with a coral trim. A shapely set with a whole lotta kick and color. Perfect for any season.

Mademoiselle, unlined in ivory with black trim and design. No volume needed. In my opinion, this bra is a silent killer. Understated sexy.

Have you tried Twist or Prima Donna? What’s your take on the look, feel, and or difference?
