Sheer Cheer

From the runways in France to the racks of Forever 21, this spring it’s all about sheer, flouncy blouses. For a peek-a-boo sexy look, opt for a black bra to wear underneath. If bra-baring isn’t your style, stick to more opaque options to conceal your chest area or simply slip on a cami.

From florals to neck-bows, finding a sheer blouse to fit your fashion taste will be easy with the endless options offered.

Fashion Week Begins!

Yep, it’s that time of year again – New York Fashion Week! Last night kicked off the fashion frenzy with the The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection, which happens to be one of my favorite shows. Created in an effort to raise awareness about heart disease, celebrities turn on their inner-model and walk the runway.

Plenty of familiar BG faces were spotted strutting down the catwalk donning sexy, crimson-colored frocks.
