Sheer Genius

As I wander around the archives of my most favorite website (Style.com) and refresh myself on Spring RTW 2011 I always look for trends I would love to duplicate. Now most looks of designers like John Galliano, Marc Jacobs, and Valentino are simply unattainable for a poor college sap like myself, however I can take away the essence that their looks achieve. Now Sheer is here. It's EVERYWHERE from Pre-fall 2011 to every single runway of Spring RTW 2011 has a sheer element to it, and it makes so much sense considering the versatile fabric is honestly the superhero of all fabrics, IT CAN DO ANYTHING! What is better then an article of clothing that has chameleon like qualities && can transform from one look to another so flawlessly. NOTHING. Sheer elements can be Feminine when paired with lace, Sexy with an exposed bra or leopard sheer print or charming with a sheer polka dot. It can be in a neon pink for Spring or sultry slate gray for Winter. It's a SHEER thing that Sheer is here, and not going anywhere. Let's hit the pics... Honestly there is a lot, just couldn't help myself.

elegant equestrian

First post! So exciting, so new, so BELLETRISTICally fabulous! Anywho i decided to discuss both a recent and historically prevalent fashion trend that is near and dear to my heart! I have been riding horses since a very tender age and it has impacted my sense of style and taste inevitably. Everything from Dior inspired jodhpurs to Hermes saddles, Gucci bits and finally Ralph Lauren riding coats, i love it all.
