Are you Mad for Plaid? Is it a Yay or Nay for you? Truth be told, as far as memory takes me, I always associated plaid’s with a picnic blanket. Now, with this being one of the trends for this coming Spring Season, it brought a little bit of aprehension as I contemplated whether I should or should not wear this particular trend. As I shared with you in my previous post, Spring Forward, plaids was one of the patterns I was willing to try and guess what? I did! I ventured outside the box! I started with a subtle plaid pattern to as they say, “wet my feet” and I hope to eventually move up to trying the larger plaid pattern, Gingham. I decided to pair my plaid trench coat with a solid bordeaux colored pencil dress and blush colored patent leather t-strap pump. I added a chuncky necklace that matched the soft pink of my coat. I sealed the look with my pink lipstick and sunnies.

Plaid Trench Coat by Gap

Pencil Dress by H & M

Necklace by Bijoux

Here are a few more examples of Plaids I found on the net I hope will encourage you to go for the Plaid!

Fashion Tip: If you think as I did about plaids, I encourage you to give them a chance! There are so many types of plaids. Start by trying a smaller print and go from there. I promise you will not regret it!

Wishing you all the best,

Flowers are not just meant to be admired in a vase or a garden. As I mentioned in my previous blog, Spring Forward, one of the trends for this coming season are flowers. The bigger the print the better! I am so in LOVE with the idea of wearing different floral prints on a dress, blouse, pants, on top of my head, necklace and even a clutch! In my opinion, the beauty of wearing flowers is that it makes you feel so feminine and soft.

Did you know that floral prints have been around and popular for hundreds of years? The floral print actually originated from Asia and the East. Our wonderful fashion designers just tweak the print to make it more current with the times. I remember when I was growing up, my mom made sure that I was always dressed in floral prints and that I always had a matching purse and shoes to complete the look!

Below are a few pics of my wardrobe additions to this beautiful Spring Trend:

Details:

Black Floral Dress by H&M
Sunnies by Celine (early Valentine’s Day Gift from the hubby)
Tights by Forever 21
Floral Jersey Dress (carried by me if interested)
Blush colored shoes by Steve Madden

Added Royal Blue Tights For A Different Look

Flower Power!

My Daughter’s Best Friend Michelle

Here are a few more designs I found on the net:

Fashion Tip: With Spring around the corner, start incorporating a few floral pieces to your wardrobe! That is a way to honor this beautiful season where flowers are blooming and the birds and bees are buzzing around us.

Wishing you all the best,

Hello my Dear Readers,

Today I share with you just a quick note to say hello and to share a few pictures of where my yellow pointed heels took me…..I called it the “Yellow Brick Road” for I dared to venture into the hiking trails not far from my home. On any given day I am hiking there in what I call the “Beautiful Forest” in my yoga pants and comfy tennis shoes but on this occasion I went in my pointy yellow pumps, black/white striped dress, red purse and statement necklace. Oh, and my fave sunnies.

I had so much fun taking these pictures! As a funny anecdote, as my photographer (my daughter Madi) and I were entering the trails, a Deputy from our local Sheriff’s department happened to be parked there and inquired with a smile, “are you planning to go on a hike wearing those painful looking pretty yellow shoes?” I answered him with a laugh, “no, I’m a fashion blogger and I am taking pictures to post”. He stated, “that’s cool, a fashion blogger! Have fun!”. I thought his remark was pretty awesome! It made my day!

Red purse by Ralph Lauren

Necklace by Bijoux

Fashion Tip: This being the month we focus on Love I encourage you to do so by adding touches of red to your wardrobe. Have fun playing with colors and mixing prints! You won’t regret it!

Wishing you all the best,

Je te aime Paris

Hi everyone,

It feels like it’s been a while since I have written in my Blog…in fact it has been a week! I’ve been so busy at work and with everyday life that I had not been able to find the time to sit and write! I am back now! Happy to be sharing once again with you! I decided this time I would share about my Love Affair with Paris! As I’ve told you before, last year my hubby and I celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary and my gift was a trip to Paris and Greece. We decided that we could not do this lifetime trip without our 2 kids so Famyof4 took off on the adventure of a lifetime! You see, I have such a wonderful hubby who remembered that I have always loved Paris and Greece was an added bonus!

Paris offers so much! For starters, it is the Fashion Capital of The World! The French dress with so much style and pizzazz and they make it look so effortless. They sure love their scarves! Almost every Parisian we saw ranging from the very young to the older generation wore a scarf. That is their main accessory. Also, let us not forget the flats women love to wear! To see the collection that is sold at Galeries La Fayette was unbelievable!

Now moving forward, the next thing I loved about Paris was their amazing architecture! Simply breathtaking. Words could not express the feeling of “Awe” we experienced with every new site we saw. Adding to the adventure were our visits to The Louvre Museum, The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe, Versailles but to name a few of the extraordinary places we visited.

The Food was outstanding. The leisure in which people ate taught us to do the very same here in our home. The French do know how to take their time to enjoy the company they are with and savor the food they are eating.

Paris will forever live in my heart! I have adopted that country as my own! Paris is as the saying goes…”The City of Lights and “The City of Love”. I hope to return soon someday and explore the other parts of France.

On my next travel blog, I will share with you about Greece!

When in Paris you must wear Stripes!

Fashion Tip: When planning a vacation to another country, make sure you do your homework! Find out what the weather will be like, how they dress and pack accordingly. It helped us tremendously with our visit to Paris. We fit right in!

Au revoir!

Today, I woke up craving Mint and not the candy kind! It was a little overcast in the morning and when the sun came out to play I knew exactly what color I wanted to wear! Although Spring has not arrived, it felt right putting my outfit together. Mint is such a gentle color that it can be paired with anything! It takes me back to the first time I ever wore this color…My sisters wedding…Many moons ago! That was the start of my relationship with Mint! I decided to pair mine with touches of black and grey to fit the look into this season..

A Big shout-out and thanks to a great photographer I know…My Dad! Muaah! Thanks Daddy for making me feel special!

Booties by Joe’s

Purse by Michael Kors – Heather Grey Weekender

Sunglasses by Marc Jacobs (one of my fave’s!)

Necklace by Bijoux..(I carry if interested)

Coat by Tulle

Synthetic Angora Sweater byMagnolias

Fashion Tip: Go ahead and try this kind of Mint! I promise it will be a guiltless pleasure that won’t go to your bottom! Have fun and experiment adding different colors with it. Don’t forget to add those special touches like your fav lipstick or chunky necklace to make it your own! Remember…it’s okay to mix the seasons and get away with it! No Fashion Police can touch you!

Wishing you the best and thanking you for taking the time to read my blog

As 2014 comes to an end, I stop to reflect on all the Blessings I have received this year, My Famyof4 (which include my hubby, son & daughter), my Maltipoo-Jax, our health, our families, our home, our jobs, my kids excelling in College, our trip to Paris & Greece celebrating our 25 years of marriage, my daughter’s new car and so much more the list can go on and on. I pray that 2015 brings us all many blessings.

Now how to ring in the New Year? What should I wear? Where should we go? Decisions, Decisions, Decisions! For those who know me, I tend to favor Maxi’s and on this occasion it’s no exception! I opted to go for an old Hollywood Look.. What will you be wearing on New Year? Share with me!

That old adage, “The apple does not fall far from the tree” could not be more on point when it comes to my Mom and Me! As I have mentioned before in my post “My Fashion Icon”, my Mom taught me to be the woman I am today. She instilled in me to be a loving Wife, Mother, Friend and a Lover of anything that involved Fashion. As we have matured, and our fashion sense can differ at times, I feel honored when she turns to me for fashion advise! Isn’t that the best? We have such a strong sense of fashion, that we can bounce ideas off each other. My Mom has become one of my biggest supporter of my blog! I just could not help myself and I had to share another blog about her.

Below I share a few pictures with you depicting Mothers & Daughters…including my family….You don’t have to wait until Mother’s Day to Celebrate Mom..

My Mom and I posing almost the same at different locations! What were the odds? Great Minds I tell you thinking alike!…..

Mom is wearing her Green Scarf, Slim Black Pants, Black Nine West Coat & Bag. I’m wearing my Skinny Jeans, Black Strappy Pumps by Sam & Libby (carried at Target) and my new Fav Black Calvin Klein Satchel (a Christmas present from my good friend)

I want to take this moment to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. As I reflect on the meaning of Christmas, it reminds me that it’s not about the running around looking for gifts, fighting for that parking spot or waiting in long lines but the fact that Christmas was originally celebrated in a Manger in the humblest of surroundings. Christmas is Beautiful for it lives in our hearts. As much as I love to buy gifts and receive them, this is what I try to always remember.

Now moving forward, I love that we can get together and celebrate with our family and friends! In my family, it is a tradition to wear your Sunday Best for that is how my Mom raised us! Here I share a picture of my Mom & Dad..Cutest Couple I know!

Going strong after 51 years! !

I have continued that tradition with my family….Now what to wear? I asked myself. Well, I decided I would would go with a 1940’s inspired outfit (one of my fav era’s) and added a few touches to make it my own…

My Peplum Top & Pencil Skirt is by one of my favorite designers ..Reina Diaz
My Famyof4

My Necklace by Bijoux (available if interested)

Fashion Tip: Sparkle. Sparkle, Sparkle is what this season calls for! Dress anything up with Bling! Pick an Era you favor and wear it with style! As always, remember to make it your own!

With Best Wishes,

Tricia

What do you define as your best accessory? Is it that awesome purse? Is it the new pair of earrings, necklace or those out of this world shoes? All of the above usually applies to me but on this occasion, my Best Accessory was my Honey! As you may recall in my post called “One Era At A Time, I mentioned that through our 25 years of marriage (which we just celebrated) my hubby was the best in allowing me to dress him like my twin! This time was no exception! We dressed in like colors and added our own touches to make our look mesh together yet maintain our individuality. I love the fact that until this very day, my honey trust’s my taste and just goes with my Fashion Flow!

My hubby wore his favorite Fedora Hat, Tan Corduroy Pants, Navy Blue Front Zippered Shoulder Patch Sweater and Boots. I wore my Skinny Jeans, Riding Boots, Maroon Beanie and Tan Toggle Coat. Now this is what I call…Fashion Team Work! By the way…we had a blast taking these pictures in Big Bear..surrounded by snow!

Hubby:

Corduroy Pants – Old Navy
Sweater by Cambridge Dry Goods
Boots by Florsheim
Sunglasses by Carrera

Me:

Boots by Franco Sarto
Coat by Michael Kors
Sunglasses by Marc Jacobs

Here are a few more ideas I found on the Net:

Love this Retro Look!

Fashion Tip: Share your fashion sense with your other half! Dress like twins and have fun! Make this into something you can both enjoy! Remember to add touches that identify you and make it your own!

Wishing you all the Best,

Chevron Is Not Just For Gas

As I’ve mentioned before I love patterns and the Chevron pattern is no exception. I think it’s fun but can be intimidating to say the least! I use to hesitate in using this pattern for fear that it would make me look wider but as you can see I overcame that notion. The chevron pattern when paired with key pieces, can come together nicely and make you feel like saying, “hey Look at me”! I decided to go all out and do a complete top and bottom combo. I paired it with a teal clutch, red/gold chunky necklace and my pointed yellow pumps. My red coat was my final touch when it got chilly….

These pictures I share with you were taken at the gardens of the Disney Concert Hall in L.A. I had so much fun! My photographer was my daughter Madi…isn’t she great!

Fashion Tip: Find your right Stripe..whether it be Pinstripes, Upstream Stripes, Missoni Stripes or like mine, Chevron (naming a few) and try it on! You might be surprised with what you see. Remember to always pair it with a signature piece be it a chuncky necklace or a scarf. Have fun and experiment.
