There are so many things that go into perfecting your feminine look…

Now that it’s the dead of winter (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), you’ve got the added challenge of freezing temps.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t look feminine and sexy despite the cold!

Here are 3 tips – specifically for crossdressers and MTF transgender women – on how to feminize your look for the winter.

1. Wear a shape-enhancing coat

Your coat is the first thing people see when it’s cold. In fact, it might be the ONLY thing they see you in, so it’s an important piece in your feminine wardrobe.

Here are some dos and don’ts to consider:

• DON’T add unnecessary bulk with a puffy or oversized coat.

• DO try a belted coat to shape your waist.

• DON’T wear double breasted coats if you have a wide chest. (Single breasted styles are more slimming)

• DO look for coats with princess seams or pleats and gathers around the hips to feminize your shape.

2. Go for bright colors

Don’t blend in with the gray, dreary weather. The best way to look pretty this time of year is to wear bright colors.

Instead of a basic black winter coat, why not try something fun? Coats come in a rainbow of colors these days and range from pastels to jewel tones.

If a neutral coat is more your style, you can still add a touch of bold color with your scarf, hat, and gloves.

3. Choose the right boots

Wearing cute boots is the best part about cold weather!

But if you’re walking on ice and slush, heels are a nightmare. This does NOT mean you must resort to chunky, unattractive snow boots.

Instead, look for boots with a wedge heel. The height of a heel adds sex appeal, while a rubber wedge sole gives you traction so you don’t slip.

Let’s see your winter look!

Even if you don’t go outside en femme, these tips can still apply. Why not be a snow bunny for your next private photo shoot? You don’t have to show skin to look sexy!

I’d love to see your favorite winter look, so please share your photos below!

I hope your summer is off to a great start! I’m in Mexico enjoying some sun before heading back to chilly San Francisco.

I don’t know about you, but warm weather always inspires me to look my best …

Summer is a great time to be a girl, so here are 7 tips for looking extra SEXY this summer:

1. Get a pair of oversized sunglasses

Oversized sunglasses are trendy, sexy, and glamorous, but be sure to choose flattering frames. Most TG girls have angular features, so look for rounded frames to balance out your face.

2. Change your perfume

Changing your perfume is a great way to get into the mood for summer. Take a break from heavy, musky fragrances and choose something light and fruity for the summer. My current favs are Fresh Sugar Lemon, DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom, and Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh.

3. Try a colorful eyeliner

Colorful eyeliner is a big trend right now and it’s a perfect look for the summer. Try a touch of blue, green, or purple eyeliner on your upper or lower eyelids. (Avoid pink eye liner since it can make your eyes look tired.) Keep the rest of your makeup muted.

4. Go totally bare

There is nothing as sexy as smooth silky skin, so why not go totally bare and remove ALL your body hair for the summer? I guarantee you will feel VERY girly. You’ll also feel cooler and smell fresher – always nice for the feminine experience.

5. Highlight your hair

Nothing says summer like highlights, so add some highlights to your hair or pick up a highlighted wig. By the way, girls of all ethnicities can wear highlights. Auburn or chocolate highlights look fabulous with dark hair.

6. Get a spray tan

Suntans are sexy and make your body look thinner and more toned. But instead of frying in the sun or messing with self tanners, why not indulge in a spray tan from a salon? Spray tans cost $ 25-$ 50 and last about a week, so they’re a great thing to do before a special event or girly photo shoot.

7. Invest in a new dress

For my last tip, I am giving you permission to go shopping! A sexy new sundress is a great way to kick off the summer. Look for flowing, gathered styles to create the illusion of curves.

Now let’s hear from YOU! Do you have any special plans for the summer of 2011? What are YOU going to do to look extra sexy and girly this season?
