Would you Adams and Eve it?

I like Amy Adams. She seems sweet. She was unexpectedly sexy in The Fighter, but in real life she always seemed quite demure. Then POW! at the Her premiere earlier this year something happened and that something was sexy!

Lordy, I wasn't expecting that. Or more to the point, I wasn't expecting those. 

Don't get me wrong, I think she looks incredible, but it's just not what we are used to.

On seeing the publicity shots for American Hustle though it is all starting to make a bit more sense.

Lady got used to getting them out.

Ooh, I'm super excited about seeing this film now. I don't really have an opinion yet about the content but it surely does look good. Seventies revival anyone? I'm in!

Shoulder the Blame

If you are talking sexy, you might well be talking Penelope Cruz, right? And her appearance on the red carpet for The Counselor in Nina Ricci absolutely confirms that this season's fashion erogenous zone is the neck and shoulders.

Good old Miuccia has also championed the look and, for a girl who doesn't tend to flash the flesh, this is a subtly sexy style of dressing that is just my speed.

Slouchy, undone cardigans beneath dresses here I come.

Clear and Present Danger

I just bought a pair of perspex heeled shoes from Kurt Geiger (which sadly aren't on there website or I would happily show them off to you). They are strappy and warrior woman-like. It was love at first sight. But with such a fierce shoe what is the way to go? I suspect, like the lady above, it is a good idea to play down the va-va-voom. Oh gosh I really love them...

Hot Stuff

Jeez Louise! Aren't these dresses crazy sexy?! The green is Gucci and the red is L'Wren Scott. Yowza! One is too much sizzle for me, but the other? I think I could carry it off. Well, if I stop eating cake for a week or so anyway.

Guess which is which!

So, still on my sauce-search... Are tea dresses sexy?

I would usually accompany one with lashings of red lipstick. But does that put a boy off kissing? Because that obviously wouldn't do for date night.

And are they not, maybe, just a little bit dour without? But the shape is feminine and alluring, no? And a kind of sexiness that I could probably be comfortable with.

Do You Think I'm Sexy?

I'm seeing my young man this weekend. We are going out for a romantic evening a deux. I want to look super hot for him.



But my idea of sexy and most boys' idea of sexy I suspect is quite different. I could of course just get one of two (three? four? Do legs and boobs count as one or two?) body parts out, or wear something tight. But I kind of like the thought of something a bit more subtle.



I think effortlessness is sexy. So something down played, not overt appeals to me. But would this look just be too corporate?

And as I have an extremely feminine body shape would this slightly masculine look just be wrong on me? I have a horrible feeling it would.

Any thoughts or suggestions on what I could wear to entice my man? (Who admittedly thinks I look pretty lovely in everything I wear.)
