"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.

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?
Hello Darlings,
So excited to announce a new project where WithLoveGabrielle.com has partnered with leading Canadian lingerie retailer, La Vie En Rose to create a series of fabulous articles on the topics of fashion, relationships, lifestyle, travel, and culture. For a sneak peak into what's to come please check out our new WithLoveGabrielle.com for La Vie En Rose Facebook page!

I am a firm believer that every fabulous outfit begins with lingerie! What you wear underneath sets you in the right mood, and if you feel confident then you're halfway there to having a great day. So I am very excited to come up with fun ways to integrate La Vie en Rose and their lingerie, swimwear, and sleepwear into my adventures in the coming months!
Hello Darlings,
To begin my romantic Blue Mountain getaway in style, our first couples activity after checking in at the Westin was to experience the famous Scandinave Spa. Unlike any spa I've experienced, the concept at Scandinave Blue is to place one in touch with nature. As the only Nordic spa in Ontario, the facility is surrounded by forests of birch trees and has magnificent scenic views of Niagara Escarpment. The ancient practice of baths dates back more than 3000 years B.C. and is attributed to cleansing the body, improving blood circulation and releasing endorphins.

Thanks to Scandinave Spa at Blue Mountain, one reader will win two weekday passes :)

Hello Darlings,
Every great outfit begins in your lingerie drawer. As Elle Macpherson says, “if you’re wearing lingerie that makes you feel glamorous, you’re half way there to turning heads.” As many of us know, beautiful undergarments can make you feel on top of the world, while a bad panty line can ruin an otherwise fabulous look.
