Sheer
Trend Alert: See-Thru
Don't shoot the messenger. This trend takes me back to the mid-90s when Supers wore bra tops under sheer Donna Karan bodysuits. It looked great then, but does it now?
Hilary Duff in Sheer LBD: Love It or Hate It?
Hold up: Is this an Olsen I'm looking at or Hilary Duff? I did a double take when I saw the singer at TRL's goodbye party. I can totally see Ashley rocking this unique look.
Gwyneth Paltrow in Sheer Lace Antonio Berardi: Love It or Hate It?
Gwyneth Paltrow confidently walked the Parisian red carpet at the premiere of her movie Two Lovers. Admit it: She took a risk wearing this Antonio Berardi sheer lace dress from his Spring '09 collection. Clearly we can see her panties and bra, but since that's the point of the frock, she doesn't seem to mind.
Celebrity Style: Heidi Klum
Hot mama Heidi Klum continually knows how to make it work. As of late, she's been into the peek-a-boo effect with a sheer blouse and sexy bra. At LA Fashion Week, she proved that sheer doesn't have to equal slutty.
Online Sale Alert! Savings at Revolve Clothing
If I could buy everything at Revolve Clothing, I probably would. Too bad the steep prices stop me. The good news is that its sale section has plenty of items for cheaper than usual.Trend Alert: Sheer
Sheer is my big tip for next season. Whether it's a sheer shirt or a dress with sheer detailing it's a demure yet sexy look which can be easily pulled off.
Madonna has already worn the trend and it appeared on the catwalk at Chanel, Luella and countless Graduate Fashion Week shows.
Casa Quickie: Lighten Up for Spring
In case you haven't noticed, it's Spring! Isn't that supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!? Yes, it is.
Celebrity Style: Selma Blair
Selma always seems to have a trick up her sleeve when it comes to fashion — she's one of the few people I've seen attempt the sheer trend and pull it off. Her Marc Jacobs grey cashmere shell and skirt look not only luxurious but comfortable. Insert Coco Chanel quote here: "Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury."
DIY: Canopy Headboard
You needn't buy a $19,000 four-poster to get the look of a romantic canopy bed. A few supplies and a spare afternoon and your bedroom will be fit for a queen, without the stuffy price tag. And, if that's not good enough for you, I'll show you how to live like a modern Marie Antoinette.
Dress Me Up: Oh, Sheer
See-through clothes make most gals say, oh, sheer. But we can't avoid the trend altogether because it was everywhere on the Spring runways, including BCBG (left) and Marc Jacobs.
What we can do is find a sheer style that works for our lifestyles and body types.
