Fifities for Fall

I personally have no reason to look at Fall clothing since there are only two seasons in my country, the rainy season and dry season. However, I enjoy catering for all :)
According to Style.com, there are 7 major trends for 2010 Fall, here is one of them:

 Dolce & Gabbana

 Cacharel

 Fendi

Did you notice the double trend?

D & G mixed leopard print with the 50's trend. 

The bizarre twist is that the animal print was paired with polk-a-dots which was a early summer trend.

Which designer accomplished your fav 50's look?

Trend Report: Leopard Print

My friend, Chelsi, inspired me to write this post. This girl is in love with animal print and recently, I have been spotting leopard print everywhere!
It was featured on the Olsens Annonymus, Song of Style and also Roberto Cavalli's Fall campaign.

The first few pics are from Roberto Cavalli campagins

Looking like it's a Fall trend.

Inspired.

This weekend I was really inspired by this Dolce and Gabbana lace dress.

So I decided to do my own version of it. I wore this lace, white dress that I stole from my grandmother and I paired it with a black braided belt, black bangles, colourful hanging earrings and of course my fav sandals!

Like the look?

Sheer is beautiful

A sheer lace dress by Dolce and Gabbana paired with leopard print accessories and red undergarments = a look I would want to wear =D

Style Watch: sheer clothing

So I was downtown with Chelsi, browsing through stores busily to find a party top. From my search, I discovered that one of the popular trends for this Summer vaca will be the Sheer trend. Another thing I discovered was this amazing censor striped, red top in the Bang Bang store ;).
(I will post a picture of it later:)).

The history:
Sheer or transparent clothing is a repeating trend for over the years 2006, 2009 and now 2010. The trend is an indirect and subtle approach to expose a woman's curves without revealing too much skin directly. Thus, the trend is seen as very sensual yet still done in an elegant manner. It has been featured in the Summer/ Spring 2010 collections of Christian Dior, Fendi, Dolce and Gabbana, Preen, Rochas and more.

How it is worn: 

The trend is mainly seen worn in dark colours such a black, purple and navy blue, but don't be fooled because it comes in a variety of bright colours as well (such as turquoise and red).
It is also comes in many different textiles such as lace, netted materials, cotton, satin and more.
It is always best to pair your sheer article of clothing with a solid coloured item (such as black skinnies or a plain-red, pencil skirt).
