Who says underwear can’t be made outerwear? Corsets can be tasteful outdoors — it all depends on how you wear them. Add details such as bows or straps and pair with jeans and stacked heels for an uber feminine look. A corset dress draws attention to a delicate neck and shoulders. If you’re shy you can don a corset belt or a “corset” shirt with a cinched torso, or wear your sleeveless corset with a cropped jacket.

Animal print frocks and accessories scream rawrrr for Spring 2009 in a big way! Add flair to Spring’s neutrals with a leopard print handbag or a zebra print top. Keep this look wearable by keeping the print to just one piece — any more and you’ll look as if you yourself have escaped from the safari. Keep it classy!

When I saw these pics of Lindsay Lohan for Fornarina’s Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaign I nearly squealed. I love the feminine/chic side of Lindsay that was captured. The tops, pumps, and accessories are fab — I am really, really loving the corset, strap heels, and sheer top with ruffles. We have a Fornarina here in Grove City so I hope to be stopping in soon to check out the goods!
