Skirting the Issue: What’s up with hemlines?

admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:24:58 +0000

What’s up with hemlines this season? Panty-peeking minis, sophisticated knee-length and mid-thigh skirts & dresses… this Spring has a little something for everyone. Let’s start with a peek at some runway fashions to inspire your personal style & revamp your closet!

It’s hard for most anyone (other than models, of course) to look classy when wearing an ultra-short dress or skirt. Thankfully, the rest of us can be satisfied with knee-length dresses and skirts that reveal just a flattering peek of our thighs! If your outfit is a bit sheer and you don’t want to reveal that much skin, try wearing something else underneath. Arianne’s Kelly collection has a 19″ half-slip with a lacy hem on the bottom for skirts, and a basic, opaque 35″ full slip for dresses, with adjustable spaghetti straps.

Plus, try wearing some invisible underwear to eliminate any panty lines! Take a look at Elita’s aptly-named Invisible collection. This way, nothing but your beauty will detract from your sexy outfit!

Ultra-girly frills, appliqués, ribbons, bows and lacy embellishments are all the rage right now in everything from work clothes, street wear or cocktail gear. Spied on the catwalk by designers like Chanel and Armani, among others, ruffles are making a major comeback. Flaunt your sexy self in some hot new items and feel at your utmost feminine.

Score this super chic look in a wallet-friendly way. Check out Arianne’s Iris collection, which offers a layered look complete with miniature ruffles for an eye-catching yet discreet appearance. You can wear the sensual knee-length dress to your next party or dinner engagement, or pair the top with your favorite pants before you go dancing this weekend. Both are lined for opacity and offer wider straps to help hide your bra underneath, and the shape of the bodice is extremely flattering, sleek and sophisticated.

Style: Sheer Sophistication

Lisa — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:51:11 +0000

Some of the biggest names in fashion have introduced their new lines in New York and Paris for Spring Fashion Week. Amongst the eye-catching melee of colors, daring ingenuity and bold cuts, many style themes emerged. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be covering the fashion styles that will be all the rage this spring. Plus, I’ll give you some budget-friendly suggestions on how to get your own catwalk-inspired gear.

Whether it’s lightweight, diaphanous fabric, sheer lace prints or appliqués, recent trends are resplendent in their femininity and sensuousness. Spring’s dreamy dresses with long, flowing skirts give off a majestic appeal while maintaining a sophisticated edge.

Sheer tops in ready-to-wear styles lend versatility to this coveted barely-there, glamorous look. Arianne’s Diva camisole has a stunning lace, corset shape and lined bodice– making it a daring ensemble when paired with your favorite jeans or skirt. Another versatile top by Arianne is in the feminine Keri collection: it’s lined for opacity all over, except the sleeves are still sheer… plus it has a cross-your-heart neckline and has scalloped edges along the bottom hem! Both tops feel light and airy, just like this pink dress by Christian Dior (above). The sheer look is definitely one to love this Spring!
