A Classic: The Bra Top

 

How cool is this vintage sewing pattern piece?! I've kind-of been in love with this risque and modest fashion choice of wearing inner-as-outwear. I guess it relates back to my love of separate pieces in an outfit. Now I wouldn't necessarily go right out there and wear just a bra a public, but you can wear coverups and sheer tops and make it look really elegant. The style also relates, obviously, to bikinis sported by vintage Hollywood starlets. In the 1950s, this cool trend was paired with shorts and worn to different sports events. Quite an easy way to stay cool! These necessities aren't just unmentionables anymore!

The Ripple Effect

Imagine being swept away the tide with this gorgeous trend for spring, the wave print. From Monique Lhuillier's Japanese wave-print fabrics and aqua eyeshadow, to Alberta Ferretti's mermaid gowns and just out-of-the-sea hair. Since blue is my favorite color, I had to cover this trend because it's just so perfect for spring and summer. Enjoy all the color!
