Hello Darlings, “Sex appeal is fifty percent what you’ve got and fifty percent what people think you’ve got,” once said the sex-symbol that is Sophia Loren.
CONGRATULATIONS to ISABELLE and SHELLEY for winning the $50 gift certificates from La Vie en Rose. Thanks everyone for entering, and please be sure to check in next week as we have another terrific contest launching with Sherway Gardens shopping centre in Toronto!
When it comes to sex appeal, many people seem to misunderstand what sexy is! It is not about mini skirts and cleavage overload, but rather the sensual way that you present yourself. Sexy is a mind set as opposed to an outfit. To me, what is sexy is a woman of confidence and wit who goes about her life understanding and respecting her true allure. As women, we all possess God-given assets that are inherently sexy and exude sex appeal. But with so many blurry lines in our modern culture, it’s really not so easy these days to precisely identify What is Sexy?
“There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.” — Audrey Hepburn
{ La Vie En Rose Roses Lace Panties }
In my view, what is sexy in our current day is a mix of confidence and respect — a woman who has the confidence to be herself and have enough respect for herself not to abuse her charms. It is not sexy to flaunt yourself and it is definitely not tasteful to show too much. So embrace your sexy and show the world the woman that you are with your confidence!
To help you bring out your inner sex-goddess, La Vie En Rose and WithLoveGabrielle.com would like to offer two $50 giftcards to spend at any La Vie En Rose store in Canada. To find a store near you, click here!

Confidence IS the new sexy!
A sexy woman knows who she is, what she wants, doesn’t make excuses about her personal choices – she likes the way she looks but never brags about it.
Sexy is realizing you are more powerful than your (society perceived, generally) flaws.
It’s been said before, and I stand by it, confidence is sexy.
Confidence and being comfortable in your own skin is sexy!!
Staying true to yourself, knowing your values and believes is SEXY. Also, confidence and the right attitude at all times.
I think sexy is being confident and having compassion and respect for others.
thanks

sexy is the ability to dust yourself off after falling and walking confidently towards a new path without looking back.
Sexy is definitely about ones confidence. Knowing what you have and being able to use it without worrying about being judged
Being sexy and being confident in who you are, and knowing how to use your best assets in a classy way!
Sexy is an attitude, rather than a cup size, a style, or body type.
Sexy is about feeling and looking desirable and that could be achieved by having that confidence. Make use of that asset your body has and show to everyone that you have more than what they see in you!
Sexy is being comfortable and confident in your own skin.
Sexy is being content with who you are. Whether you’re a single gal or in a relationship, being sexy is equivalent to being able to brush off insecurities. It’s dressing in a way that makes you stand tall (with or without the help of heels) for yourself as opposed for the opposite sex or solely to fit in. Maintaining a positive attitude toward yourself is a sexy as it gets. If you feel sexy, you are sexy.
I think sexy is doing something you love to do and doing it well. Nothing is more attractive than a person who is succeeding at exactly what they love to do and embracing whatever that thing may be.

To me sexy is not only confidence but also playfulness. Too many times confidence can come across as cocky or egotistical unless there is enough of a playful, silly side to the person as well.
I think socioeconomic factors play a big role in how sexy is being perceived and expressed by women. The meaning of sexy should be based on your social objective, but people usually act on what they are exposed to. The media plays a key role in shaping perceptions as well. No wonder many women loose themselves in being/feeling “sexy” due to the fact that they are trying to look/be sexy for their society. Considering we live in Canada and our society is very multicultural, the meaning of sexy and concepts of femininity and masculinity gets blured even further. Different genders perceive sexy differently and at the end of the day you can’t please everyone and if you add the cultural aspect…well it really gets confusing.
Then we get into personality types and definition of confidence etc. At the end of the day we ask have we achieved our objective? Well if you’re happy and your definition of sexy works for you, I say go for it. Just beware of what you wish for!
I think being confident in who you are regardless of your shape or size is sexy!

Confidence is sexy. Being comfortable with who you inside and out.

Sexy is being able to act as goofy as you want to without caring if anyone else finds it attractive.
S-E-X-Y: Smart, Energetic, Xciting, Youthful
Sexy is being comfortable with who/where you are, what you look like, and not being concerned with how others perceive you, but also being equally comfortable and accepting of how others look and who they are. A woman can be abundantly confident, but completely ignorant or disrespectful of those around her–this is truly NOT sexy. An equal portion of confidence in one’s self and of acceptance in others is sexy.
Sexy is being independent and confident. Being comfortable with yourself and a sense of humour.
Its all about confidence. I’ve always been a fuller figured woman. And when I’m down in the dumps? I never get a second glance. But when I hold my head high, and put an extra bounce in my step, and I know I look AND feel good about myself – it projects outwards. People notice you. And they notice how YOU feel about yourself. If you’re confident in how you feel, others will take notice. No matter what your size/shape is! ♥
To me*** SEXY*** is a confident woman who is happy with herself and the way she looks no matter what ANYONE else thinks. Sexy is an important way to feel, and even easier when you shop at La Vie En Rose
They have VERY ***SEXY*** things for every woman in there 
I follow FB and am going to go follow on twitter as well
Sexy……..ummm, there’s alot of different Sexy things. The way she carries herself, clothing, that little piece of hair that falls a certain way down her neck, long legs in a short skirt, etc.. The list can go on.
Sexy is the new Confidence, Wear it, love it. GO FOR IT.
It’s feeling good in your own skin and comfortable in what you are wearing. Lingerie that makes you feel good is VERY sexy
It may be oversaid, but it’s true. Sexy is confidence. The confidence to be comfortable in the body you have, and to be yourself re. of the situation.
MMM… what is sexy?
Can one truly answer that question? yes. To do that, a person must take away all prejudice, all information and everything POISONED that society has put in our minds.
With that removed, one can truly discover the true meaning of sexy.
As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, : ” No one can make you feel inferior without your consent” It all starts with taking a look into a mirror and getting to know the real you. Excepting who you are, and what you look like. Following Roosevelt’s words, will allow one to accept who they are and say, ” you know what? I’m beautiful, and beautiful is me. Nobody can tell me otherwise.”
Society makes it hard for young girls or anyone else in this matter to be able to see that. It makes us believe that if you are not perfect, then you are not sexy or beautiful. It clouds our judgements and unables us to see that imperfections is sexy and that all it takes is confidence to outdo those imperfections. Accepting you are not perfect and accepting who you are will help with that confidence.
People notice more confidence then clothes or makeup. If you have confidence, you have that certain glow and people notice that.
CONFIDENCE IS THE NEW SEXY AND EVERYONE IS SEXY IN THEIR OWN WAY.
CONGRATULATIONS ISABELLE

Thank you !
Sexy is that attitude you get when you’re feeling good in your own body.
everything happens between the two ears each has its way is sexy enough to find one who has it please !
Sexy is loving who you are and how you look, with all the extra bits and pieces earned over the years. And knowing your husband still loves each and every new curve.
Iwill try to explain what ibthink sexy is in english ( probably easier in french). I fell sexy when I’m confortable in the cloth i’m in. Not too showy just something that fit me. I admit I find my self sexier when I put a touch of make up not too much though. I feel sexy when I do something I like and I’m good at (even while skiing :b ) I feel sexy when I see my boyfriend face when I put a pretty panties. Well I feel sexy when im happy even after a hot yoga class or a good run.
Sexy means to be confident in myself

Sexy? You don’t need seductive clothing. Just have confidence in yourself and sparkling eyes.
Sexy c’est d’être indépendante et dégager de la confiance. Être à l’aise avec vous-même et posseder le sens de l’humour.
Sexy is a woman’s attitude and how she carries herself. It doesn’t matter what she is doing or wearing (although that may help), as long as she is comfortable, proud and feels good about herself, then she is sexy.
Sexy is not only about what you look like, it is also about the way you are and the way you act. I think a sexy women must be intelligent!
Sexy is not only about what you look like, it is also about the way you are and the way you act. I think a sexy women must be intelligent! A women that smiles, that is not shy and that knows how to express herself! Those are all qualities that make a women sexy! And you can also wear sexy underwear just for you if it makes you feel sexy
3 words ; Confidence is SEXY
I think being true to ones self is truly sexy – and cute underwear helps
A happy confident women is sexy. She could be be hanging out in jeans and a Tshirt and still look as sexy as being all dressed up.
Sexy is being able to just be yourself, to be free from the constraints of society, to be classy in your own way, and to treat everyone with due love and respect.
Sexy is being able to have your own personal style, and to be a trendsetter instead of a follower.
Sexy is inspiration from within.
Sexy is being able to find the humor in any situation, not taking life too seriously.
Sexy in my mind, is originality. Every day I bring spice to my life and others by being myself. The energery you give off and the sparkle you bring is what makes you sexy in your eyes and your lovers.
sexy is feeling good and feeling confident in yourself

Sexy is being strong, kind and following your heart.
Sexy is the woman who is there for those who need her. Sister, mother, confidante, defender, leader, lover, comedian, friend. She gives with her heart and soul and in turn asks for nothing in return. She finds peace within.
Sexy is showing the Real you to others.

Sexy is not afraid of being you, even if your considered a little ‘strange’.
Sexy is total confidence and not worrying about what other people think!
Sexy is totally a state of mind. It is not “thinking” sexy but rather being confident in who you are, knowing yourself and your own worth. It is not thinking you are better than others in any way but rather a quiet satisfaction in yourself and what you have to offer to another. Sexy is not jealous, kiniving, insecure, overconfident or boasting. Sexy is not a size 0, size 4, size 8, size 12, or a size 20. Sexy is contentment in yourself that allows you to open yourself up to experience all that life has to offer. Sexy is being comfortable in your own skin.
Looking sexy is not as important as feeling sexy. You will not look hot and glamorous unless you actually FEEL that way. Love yourself for who you are, despite the flaws and inhibitions you might have. If you feel sad and unhappy about yourself then no Prada or Versace can bring out the true beauty in you. If you love the TRUE you, you won’t need any ensembles or accessories to make you look sexy! Beauty comes from within.
Sexy is having the confidence to be yourself!
Sexy is someone who is confident and can focus and take advantage of their bodyshape more than only the size of it.
Sexy is not what you wear or how you look, it’s being confident, smart and positive. Its having a great outlook on life and never letting anything hold you back!

I think sexy is confidence, period. Not phony confidence that is overbearing or fake… but just a woman knowing who she is, and having the ability to strut her stuff confidently. I think it’s important to be classy and sexy at the same time, it’s the best combination.
Confidence is sexy!
Sexy is feeling as confident in your sweats as in you do in a dress.
Sexy is not only being strong and confident but also pushing yourself to always be better, no matter what the circumstances.
GREAT article! Simple rules that I love and my husband loves too: Think sexy, Be confident, and wear what YOU feel sexy in!
I think being sexy is all in the way you carry yourself. Showing self-confidence and not being afraid to be your quirky self is the most important!
Being confident and comfortable in your own skin is definitely needed to feel sexy – but I find that “what is sexy?” is often hidden in moments of time (boyfriend making supper, talking about his day, etc).
A good attitude!
