Who says you can't be romantic & dirty at the same time?
Instead of the usual baseball cap or basic ponytail on those bad hair days,
romance up your locks with these elegant styles


Lace... A timeless romance






I think one of the most romantic things of all is the look of Lace. Now I'm not talking about your grandmothers lace tablecloth or curtains (although those are very romantic in their own right)... Think more along the lines of that little lace camisole that you show just a peek of under your white button up work shirt. Or that pretty little pair of lace panties you team up with your husbands white tee for bed, doesn't that tee suddenly look marvelous :)
Think of when you've worn lace while with your boyfriend, he can't keep this hands off of you right? Men love it without even realizing they do, it's seductive and flirtatious and for me, it always makes me feel very womanly and irresistible.
Lace is absolutely timeless... it has been adding romance and beauty to the home and body since the late 15th century and it isn't going to quit any time soon. I think every woman should have a few pieces of lace in their wardrobe, its a must... an essential. Add to your already beautiful femininity.
Be creative, add a little here and there, it can be romantic and fun, classic and modern... all at the same time.

A few little inspirations

Welcome to romance

..Hello Lovelies and welcome to A Dashing Romance...
Like many of you I am a modern girl still enamored with romance. Simply... I love Love! Seeing it, hearing it, giving it and of course being in Love. Not just with the amazing man I have in my life but with so many things that make my heart glow. I'm very excited to be able to share with you all that defines romance in my modern world. There isn't a template for romance, it's completely individual and that is what makes it so amazing. What defines romance to you? A ferris wheel ride on the pier, the first kiss? The 100th kiss that still feels like the 1st?, holding hands, feeling safe to fall? Late night walks, Weddings? Of course weddings! (I'm obsessed!) Your first child... and 2nd... 3rd... :) That beautiful dress or pair of shoes that bring out your femininity. Your favorite City, The perfume that drives him wild? The Post It love notes he leaves for you on the refrigerator, Summer movies in the park, Starry skies? It's endless right. Well if you adore Love and Romance as much as I do, if your romance style is a perfect combination of floral, sparkly, simple, daring, gentle fierce, pure, untamed, then ... Join in, join my blog... get lost in romance and help keep beautiful romance alive in this wonderful modern world. Sweet Dreams..
