Sexy in The City

Is it what’s inside, or underneath, that really counts?

What can make you feel sweet, sexy, empowered and seductive all at the same time? Scrumptious chocolates? Not quite. Flickering candlelight? Getting warmer. A luxurious bubble bath? Almost there. Fabulous lingerie? Now you’re hot!

Don’t you feel secretly sexy when you’re wearing an amazing lacey bra and tulle thong with an unassuming pair of jeans and a t-shirt? How about the amped-up seduction a pair of thigh-highs creates under that stunning dress? Ladies, fine lingerie is just as important as those coveted Manolos, Jimmy Choos and Louboutins you’re so in love with. It’s time to embrace your femininity and treat “the girls”, as well as your derrière, to the luxurious treats that are plentiful in San Francisco’s superb high-end lingerie boutiques.

The Chantelle t-shirt bra... a must have, ladies... Weotta have at least one!

The next time you find yourself strolling along Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights, latte in hand, stop by My Boudoir where you can find lingerie for every mood from sweet Cosabella and playful Princesse Tam Tam to sexy Millesia and seductive Marlies Dekkers.

Looking for the perfect t-shirt bra but with a little added flair and a matching panty? Search no further than Les Cents Culottes on Polk Street in Russian Hill where you can bask in brands like Aubade, Chantelle and Simone Perele. Even men are on their radar with underwear for him from Eminence, Coup de Coeur and Gregg Homme.

Want more? Visit Alla Prima Fine Lingerie in Hayes Valley or North Beach and you won’t be disappointed. You’ll find gorgeous Italian, embroidered bras and panties from La Perla that may make you want to prance around your flat wearing nothing but lingerie even on a rainy, winter San Francisco day!

And last, but not least. No lingerie list would be complete without the grand dame of them all. If you really want to be irresistible, a naughty little number from Agent Provocateur located on Geary Street in Union Square should do the trick!

Say goodbye to Victoria’s Secret and hello to “I’m all grown up now” sexy.

Christmas Shopping Weotta Style

Christmas is next week, yes next week – where did the year go? Have you done your Christmas shopping yet? If you are like us then probably not. But no problem, the weekend before Christmas is the perfect weekend to shop. You are probably thinking, packed stores, long lines, over priced knickknacks, picked over sweaters – Weotta be kidding, right?

No really, it can be fun and doesn’t have to be stressful. Here’s our top 5 reasons why:

5) Feel good about saving money. This year there are some great discounts to be had and the closer we get to Christmas the cheaper things get.

4) Excuse to buy yourself a little treat. With the discounts available you will have a little left over to buy yourself something special.

3) Explore your city. It’s a great excuse to checkout some neighborhoods you don’t get to all that often. Union street in the Marina is quite the scene, with good looking people strolling from shop to café to bar. Hayes Valley is pretty hip as well, with quite the collection of trendy stores.

2) Support local merchants. There are tons of stylish local boutiques all over your city, where the service is personal, the lines short and they have all sorts of one-of-a-kind items. For instance,  Enchanted Crystal (Union @ Laguna St ) where you can get lost for hours in their one of a kind art pieces, glass wears and jewelry from all over the world. How about Flight 001 in Hayes Valley (Hayes @ Octavia St), the ultimate place to find the perfect gift for the hip urban traveler on your list.

1) You can eat and drink your way through the day. There are all sorts of quaint coffee shops, cafes and bars to relieve your holiday shopping woes. Betelnut in the Marina (Union @ Buchanan St) is always good for a  cocktail or two, a snack and some people watching in between shopping on Union Street- try the happy buddha dumplings or the chili crusted calamari.  Citizen Cake Patisserie (Grove @ Gough St), not the restaurant- the patisserie, is a relaxing stop for a chocolate cupcake and cappuccino while shopping  in Hayes Valley; this time of year you can try their egg nog ice cream as well.

O ya, and don’t worry if you don’t find everything on your list in one day, “the internet” has your back.

So grab your favorite urban explorer- Weotta get shopping.
