The sheer craze this coming up spring has been endless! When you think sheer, it could go incredibly wrong or incredibly chic. This here, are chic ways of tackling the new trend. It has the right amount of sex appeal without screaming for THAT kind of attention. It's the "I'm covered, yet NOT!" trend. You're completely covered, but the sheer notes add that pop of unexpected element that ties everything together. 

SPRING 2014 RTW TRENDS | FULL SKIRTS

It's full, it's classic, it's chic, it's the full skirt trend that we've seen numerous times during fashion week. It's the fabulous way of creating a lady-like look with just the snap of the finger (poof...) it's a full skirt. It creates shape for the not so curvy gals and it oozes femininity and class. You could pair this skirt with just about anything! Leather jacket, crop top, dress shirt, I mean, the possibilities are endless. The full skirt will be one of your stables for spring and it's going to be an essential piece in your closet! I promise you!

VIONNET SPRING 2014 RTW - SHEER SKIRTS

Vionnet Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear

Today's Vionnet show in Paris was gorgeous and magnificent, of course Louis Vuitton, Hermes, & Miu Miu were exceptional today as well. But the real intriguing question is where's the skirt? Don't take me the wrong way, I LOVE this look I think it's extremely chic without looking trashy. The topic of sheer bottoms has been posted (here) couple of days ago and I think it's fantastic! But the look of a sharp blazer and a sheer skirt on the bottom looks absolutely ravishing. Not only was it seen today, but we also saw an all white look from Balenciaga last week in Paris as well. It's the "I'm covered, yet not covered" look! 

Okay, so now the important question is, who would wear this in real life? Would you? 

SPRING 2014 RTW TRENDS | CROP

One of the most crazed and favored trends is the crop top trend and I'm sure many of us are thrilled to see the 90s crop continue for Spring 2014. The trend came down the runway at countless shows and each crop top was paired with many different bottoms. Full skirts, a-line skirts to wide leg pants, it's a great way to mix up your style. Not only for next spring, but for this fall/winter as well!

Dare to bare! 

SPRING 2014 RTW TRENDS | PEAK-A-BOO BOTTOMS

The peak-a-boo bottoms, as I like to call it! It's an unexpected bottom that is showing off the legs that yo mama gave you (and possibly your bum)! A sheer cut-out revealing a subtle hint of leg that is just teasing us all, OR the whole entire skirt is just plain sheer! Two different ways to peak-a-boo. I mean wearing a sheer bottom could be a lot cooler and breezy for next spring so it could work for climate purposes. But, let's really think about it, how many of us will rock the "I'm wearing a skirt that you can see my underneaths covering my whoo-ha & hee-hee through my skirt," skirt?

Confidence will absolutely have to come into play and who knows maybe I'll rock one with my head held up high, while I strut up and down the supermarket! And with confidence may I add! 

PAULE KA SPRING 2014 RTW

Paule Ka Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear

Serge Cajfinger, designer for Paule Ka has taken a fun twist for spring with bows. His new collection has a bit of everything: crop tops, minimalism, color blocking & vibrant colors for that modern gal. I'm just in absolute awe with this collection. It's Parisian chic that is absolutely effortless and I'm in love!

Absolutely sublime!

SPRING 2014 RTW TRENDS | MINIMAL

Another frequent trend on the runway for Spring 2014, the minimalism trend. The effortless chic with minimal touches. It's clean and crisp, no need for over accessorizing or over the top prints and materials. It's the quintessential way of saying "action speaks louder than words," or should I say "clothes speak louder than words." It's the fashion equivalent of making everyone see that the minimal get up tells people more about the person before they even speak. The simple and confident way of saying "I don't need to fuss with anything else, I'm good as is." 

That's complete and utter confidence, no? 

SPRING 2014 RTW TRENDS | ALL WHITE

Fashion week from New York, London, Milan to Paris there has been a reoccurring trend, the ALL WHITE trend. Head to toe with a clean and crisp hue to brighten up spring/summer 2014. The fresh hue appeared at countless shows and each designer created their own twist.

I do love an all white outfit and it's only natural to be excited like a kid in a candy store over this trend. You don't have to wait till next year to rock the all white ensemble. An all winter white get up is in our near future!

FAUSTO PUGLISI SPRING 2014 RTW

Fausto Puglisi Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear

The best way to sum up Puglisi's collection is tropical, edgy, S&M chic! 

Palm trees, leather on top of leather, and belt strap bras! It's a combination that sounds odd but it works SO well. As you keep looking at each look you probably thought to yourself, "Ok...ok..oh! Oh okay!"

It's the type of collection you wear when you're on "that" type of mood, it's the certain dress and skirt you wear on vacation at a tropical area, it's the belt strap bra & skirt that you want to be out all night and party in, and on certain days the collection you want to be comfortable and shop in! It's a little of everything that molds into this fantastic piece of fashion specimen that you just want to shout out and say "GIVE ME!" 

It's fabulous and I'm lusting...

BLUMARINE SPRING 2014 RTW

Blumarine Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear

Today's show started out with beautiful sheer lace, intricate detail and an elegant stance. The models were poise while gliding across the runway. One by one, extremely gorgeous pieces came out, then gradually the elegant models became rocker chic with an edgy facade. More leather and ankle boots to change the mood of the show. The entire show was a balance of the two types of women, or perhaps, that one type of women (elegant lady by day, rocker chic by night). 

My absolute favorite was the all white piece with a sheer lace button up with a white collar and a white lace a-line skirt. Perfection!
