SAME TREND, DIFFERENT YEAR: SHEER PANELING

Sheer paneling is most definitely a reoccurring trend (well, what trend isn’t?) and I thought it’d make a cool post, if I combined some of the chicest celeb looks from the two years the trend seemed to be most popular, 2009 and this present year, 2012.

Often striking a careful balance, between feisty and classy, a flash of skin but not in an overbearing manner, the sheer trend is a fun trend to try! Noticeably, the trend was much raunchier back in 2009, with these sexy black numbers below, modelled by the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Emma Watson…

I personally LOVE the trend and have quite a few items in my ‘drobe that allows me to be a bit cheeky and show off some skin! So far this year, my favourite sheer looks have come from the effortlessly stylish Gwen Stefani and the beautiful Zoe Saldana!

GET HER LOOK: DOMINIQUE – STILETTO ESQ

When I saw this gorgeous outfit from Dominique of Stiletto Esq, I just knew I had to feature it here on FBL! Not only does it hit so many current trends, it is head-to-toe an outfit I would definitely wear myself. So easy, so cool and perfect for Summer.

1. Aztec-inspired Cut-Out Crop Top - I think my favourite part of this outfit, is Dominique’s sexy Cut-Out Crop Top from Forever21! A stylish Aztec-inspired top with sheer paneling (a hot trend right now), which can be dressed up with a blazer or dressed-down with a pair of distressed jeans.

2. Chunky Gold Cuff - A chunky cuff is a great place to start an arm party, or keep it simple by making a modest statement.

3. Printed Pants - From floral printed trousers to funky-shaped pattened pants, this trend is very popular with many bloggers and a ton of celebs too! When done right, this is a look that can easily transfer a polished day look, to a sassy evening outfit.

4. Clutch Bags - I totally need Dominique’s Louis Vuitton metalic clutch in my life! If you can’t stretch to a designer bag at the mo, there are soo many different types of clutches you can pick up at fab prices.

5. Strappy Heels - Finish your look with a pair of Strappy Heels! Every girl should have a pair of slinky strappy shoes!

Here’s how you could get Dominique’s look…
