Now You See It, Then You Don't... Dress to the Ultimate Sexy!!

Marchesa’s Works of Art Fall 2010

I stumble into Marchesa's fall collection today, love the gown collection.  Then I thought about wearing something sheer is the sexiest way of revealing your body but not totally throw yourself out there!! It is kind embarrassing.....even for me, seeing a girl who is overly exposed in her outfit!!

Brooklyn Decker

Then I saw Brooklyn Decker's Work-out DVD preview n' becomes very seriously to double my work-out routine!! Yes, whenever I saw a gorgeous women w/ an amazing body that would ignite my motivation n' push myself to keep up!! As a mom, we can't stop pampering ourselves while taking care of our family!! 

I love the red triple bows heels.

 

Work of Art!!

 

I would say, corset is a total sexy thing n' real thing to wear as daily life. As for the sheered bra look, I'd insist it better be saved for bed or going to the lounge if you are brave!! :P 

Thursday is my busiest day since Niel n' Abby have their piano lessons. Now? Not anymore, I mean, I found a pedi-manicure salon next to their class n' I totally can use that 1 hour to indulge myself for a luxury hand-n'-feet spa!!! Again, good time-management is a key to be a great woman/mom as well. :P 

I know, it is plain spoiled for Abby to have her first Princess manicure!! ^O^

My Sheer/Corset creation.

I wore army sheer pencil skirt as a dress, layered Parameter shirt dress then RUGBY wool herringbone jacket. (Should have pull up my sheer polk-dot socks a little higher!!!) 

 Then I wore the same pieces again today!!

 My ODJ.
1. Top/bottom: army green sheered skirt

2. RUGBY jacket

3. Corset 

4. Hobo international distressed leather messenger bag

5. American Apparel gray polk dot sheer socks

6. Lawrence Decade white lace-up peep-toe heels

I found that corset looks great over pretty much every shapes of dresses/skirts!!

 

Tomorrow Sonia Rykiel will hit H&M store, are you ready?!!! 

Have a great weekend!! xoxo Rachel

 

Nick Verreos Reviews the Olympic Men's Figure Skating Finals

Golden Boy: Olympic Gold Medalist Evan Lysacek with Evgeni Plushenko and Daisuke Takahashi

So, of course, I couldn't let the Olympic Men's Figure Skating Finals slip by without a review of the Costumes! And, as always, in Figure Skating, their was DRAMA on the ice and in the costumes!

Congratulations to Evan Lysacek for delivering a Gold Medal worthy performance! Lysacek became the first American man since Brian Boitano to win the Olympic gold.

Though Lysacek is the world champion, it was a rare upset for the world of Figure Skating. Plushenko, who ended a three-year retirement with the sole goal of winning gold, hadn't finished anywhere but first since the 2004 European championships. He was the defending Olympic gold medalist and silver medalist in 2002, and a three-time world champion.

I was honored to be asked to comment on the Men's Costumes for the AP Associated Press alongside Hal Rubenstein the Fashion Director of InStyle Magazine and Jef Billings, one of the sports most famous Costume Designers.

Below are my comments on all the top Men's Skating Costumes, and click HERE to read all our comments.
Evan Lysacek: Dark and dramatic. Just like Evans artistic skate, Vera Wang created a masterful costume complete with Swarovski crystal-encrusted King Cobra Snakes. The costume was worthy of a Gold Medal in its own right!
Evgeni Plushenko: Liza Minnelli-shenko is what I thought when I first saw this bedazzled nightmare. It was a High School Musical costume that matched his High School Musical performance.
Daisuke Takahashi: Cirque de Soleil gone wrong! I give Takahashi points for always bringing us over the top costumes, but this one looked like a tablecloth from a cheap Greek Taverna.
Johnny Weir: I’m happy (and I’m sure PETA is too) that Johnny lost the fur. This silver, crystal embroidered costume was actually a toned down Johnny Weir. It showed his elegant restraint and maturity mirroring his almost flawless performance.
Stephane Lambiel: The Swiss may be famous for their couture laces and embroidery, but Stephane’s Tea Cozy shoulder pads were a definite miss.
Patrick Chan: Although the Phantom of the Opera has been done one too many times for my taste, his costume was a refreshing twist on an overused theme. A directional costume featuring an asymmetrical corseted waistcoat with gold button detail and (thank goodness) no Andrew Lloyd Weber mask in sight!
Nobunari Oda: Can you please give me a couple sequins?! I get the Charlie Chaplin reference but I was falling asleep until the lace snapped. Never before have I been so excited about a wardrobe malfunction!
