See through Skirts

This style has been up and coming for a while, but in my opinion it has not faded yet and I think will continue into Spring/Summer in 2012, and (shhhh) it will be reinvented over and over again in wonderful and amazing ways! So, I am currently on the hunt for the perfect see through, lace skirt. And for me this is just a little shopping inspiration...

I love the idea of covering up under the lace so that something can delicately peek through! Super perfect skirt to buy because it would be easy to layer!!!
 I am in LOVE with this skirt. It is incredibly sexy and at the same time there is something very delicate and sweet about the lace detailing! Where can I buy this?!?! YAY!
 There is something very vintage about the dress in the picture above, and then the netted lace is very modern and introduces a kind of rocker edginess! Incredibly FUN!

I fainted for a second, but dont worry, I am back... I L.O.V.E. this skirt! I love the idea of having a long and sheer skirt with a slit to match! Perfection.

Seeing Black

Its almost fall and I have winter weather clothing on the brain. I cant help but daydream about one of my favorite winter basics...Black! Black is a powerful color, it can come off as bland and boring if your ensemble is texture less or vibrant and chic if you hit the mark. There is a delicate balance when it comes to wearing black that once you have the tips will be able to walk a tight rope, it needs to have a flattering shape, movement or texture; if it has one of those then you are probably golden. One of the most important things one can pay attention to when purchasing black items is the type of wash, is it dry clean only? Can you iron it? And what type of fabric is it, the higher quality fabric the better. What you are looking for is quality that will not fade. Unless you are going for the grunge-rocker look fading is acceptable (then it should be really faded), but otherwise your nice top should retain its color if you spend a few extra dollars for quality. 
Black is a color that has infinite possibilities...it can slim you down, dress you up, hide you and make you stand out if you so choose. Ever notice how fashion directors and fashion show go-ers usually wear something daring or all black? Its simple, chic and will never go out of style. So whether you are accenting with black, or using black as the base to your look, live it up and rock on! Here are some black items to hopefully inspire your fall/winter wardrobe.


Tip: When wearing all black, pay extra close attention to your make up and hair. Make sure your makeup color is spot with your skin tone and play with it your eyes or lips a little bit. All black provides a blank canvas for you to play with, don't be afraid to vamp it up!

Perfect example of texture and movement. This piece (above) is timeless and on trend at the same time with modern and soft texture.

This curly haired beauty knows how to vamp up an all black look. She finishes it off with fun hair, smokey eyes and glowing skin. Lovely!

    When splurging and purchasing those Prada Stilettos with money that could go towards paying back those student loans, you want to make sure they are TIMELESS! Keep it black and you will wear them all the time with everything to make sure you will be getting your monies worth!

    Black nails...a major fashion trend that about 5 years ago was new, edgy and chic. Today it has become a classic look, its here to stay. Also, the perfect way to make your look a little more edgy. Dress this nail color up or down, it works either way.

    You cant go wrong with black lace. Always a sexy!

    Love this look. Very chic right now. Make sure your toes are freshly done, they are a major focus. In fact black toe nails might look pretty cool right about here.

    Crazy Heels

    I have to say that I recently saw an interview where Lady Gaga was walking in shoes very similar to this (first photo) and I have to admit that she looked a bit uncomfortable and awkward walking in them. I am a huge advocate for the idea that, if you can't make them look easy to walk in, then just skip them...its not cute!
    But a freeze frame...now that's fun for the sake of art! Because that's why we want to wear them....They are pretty! And sometimes just pretty crazy!

    RuPaul's Drag Race....My Television Obsession!

    Can I just say...That there is something that I think many women adore about a man in drag! Or maybe I should just speak for myself, "There is something that I absolutely AH-DORE about a man in drag!" Its the makeup, the dresses, over the top attitude, glitter, sky high heels and the perfectly over-sized wigs! I love it all! Its fierce and fabulous! And deserves exclamation points at the end of every sentence!
    In my opinion there is no drag queen more ah-mazing than RuPaul! I have been a RuPaul fan since the 90's! And this show is just stunning to watch: Here is Episode 15, from Season 3: Grand Finale.

    The back of these dresses are the obvious focal point of design. It looks like Mr. Givenchy used a combination of plastic shapes and beadwork. Either way I am IN LOVE! photo from: humanforhumanssake.blogspot.com

    In LUV with Lace these days!

    For some reason the designs that are coming out with lace have been catching my eye lately. I know it is a fashion trend that is on the up and up, but I think that it is also being handled in a very elegant and dainty way this fashion trend go-round! Everyone should have a lace dress in their repertoire. It doesn't hurt if it was designed by Valentino either....

    Dita + Jean-Paul = Fabulous Fashion Moment!

    For heaven's sake! Can Dita get any more adorable and can Jean Paul Gaultier get any more brilliant? They worked together at the Gaultier 2010/2011 Fashion Show to show off this fabulous lingerie. The back of this ensemble makes me squirm with kid-like excitement! What intricacy......

    Sheer fabrics have made a place for themselves in the past year with many fashion houses. It is not to be underestimated, everyone can use a little peek-a-boo fabric whether that be sheer, or lace; it has its place and hopefully it is in your fashion repertoire!
