How transparent will you be?

Leifsdottir silk dress. La Perla set.

Sheer or transparent fabrics are making a comeback… think Madonna, lace tops. Thought it would be fun to highlight how to wear this from runway to the office. So, there is the beautiful lingerie approach with full covered briefs which is for the few and brave. I remember Katy Perry wearing something like this to Paris Fashion Week, a few years back.

Depending on the look you would like to achieve, here are the tricks. If you want the item to look lined or “nude” wear nude undergarments.

If you prefer contrast.

Body lined in same color. 

What you decide to wear depends on your mood and the event. I suggest having great nude & black basics. This would include smooth bra, slip, half and full.  Search vintage slips, there are some beautiful options. Also a body shaper like Spanx or Donna Karan, both available at Nordstrom, work well. You will be glad you have them when you need them. 

Cheers,

80’s Beloved Scrunchies are back!

Since the beginning of time women have styled and decorated their hair. In ancient Rome elaborate hairstyle indicated wealth.

 

 

 

In the 1700’s, colored wigs and elaborate accessories expressed one’s social position.

 

Women have styled their hair with feathers, bows and hats.

Today we color, cut, shave and decorate our hair as acts of empowerment, self expression and creativity.

The iconic image of Audrey Hepburn with her tiara in Breakfast at Tiffany’s reminds us of the glamour and fun these accessories can be. One of the most popular hair items in the 1980’s were scrunchies. These fabric covered large rubber bands are back. Embrace them or hate them. They are fun and an inexpensive way to change up your look.

 No simpler item to pull you hair back.

Katherine Bindley recently wrote an article in the Wall Street Journal about scrunchies being loved by Madonna and Justice Ginsberg. Blame the Movies, an Australian etsy shop sells some truly unique scrunchies. 

Will you be wearing them?
