Kimono’s are here to stay and I can’t get enough of them! They have become my new go to in place of a blazer. They add such a feminine touch to any outfit. You can wear them with a dress, jeans, shorts, skirt or a bathing suit.

Sharing a bit of history with you, did you know that the original kimono was created in China and adopted by Japan during their Heian period (794–1192 AD)? In addition, kimonos were made from fine materials and have been regarded as great works of art. Lastly,in the Western world, kimono-styled women’s jackets, similar to a casual cardigan became a hot fashion trend in 2014 and continues to be popular to this day. The colors that are available run from flowers to stripes to vibrant colors perfect for Spring & Summer!

The world of fashion never seizes to amaze me with how we borrow ideas from our past and recreate them to make it a new fashion trend! Thank you to all the fashionista’s and designers who came before us!

Below I share a few shots of myself wearing…

Patent Red BCBG Pumps

Have I convinced you to try a Kimono? I sure hope so!

Here are a few other Kimono’s I found on the net:

Fashion Tip: Whether it be long, short, fringed, solid or printed try a Kimono! Dress it up or Dress it down. You will not regret it. Pair it with your favorite piece to make it your own!

Are you on board with the denim on denim look that has graced the fashion runways? For many years I personally thought this was considered an “erreur de la mode” as the French would say or what we call a fashion No-No but for some unexplained reason, I have come around and really like this look now! The only explanation I have to my change of heart is that our likes and dislikes change every seven years! I am truly grateful to Mr. Jacob Davis who invented the “Jeans” in 1871 and Mr. Levi Strauss who joined him to patent the “blue jeans” in 1873. Moving to the 20th century, in the 1950’s jeans were originally designed to cater to miners and cowboys…Look how far we’ve come from its origin!

I decided to try this trend today and I must say I received many compliments which included one from my hubby! His compliments always bring a smile to my face! He actually suggested we go to Travel Town in Griffith Park to take a few shots for my blog, so we hopped on his chopper and off we went! He knows that I love fashion blogging and encourages me. I share a few of the pics he took below:

I also share a few more pics I found in the net of Denim on Denim:

Fashion Tip: Mix & Match Denim;There is no rule that states you need to stay within the same color scheme! Go for a different look by adding a blazer or a pair of pumps. Add your favorite pieces to make it your own!

A Yellow Jacket In The Garden

Yellow jackets normally have a bad reputation for being pests and stinging you, but on this occasion, it was not naughty but nice and meshed well with the flowers that accompanied. I decided to give that “yellow jacket” a chance and wore it with my floral dress that had a bordeaux background and cream and cobalt flowers. This choice definitely made the vibrant flowers on the dress stand out! I simply loved how the mix of colors complented each other.

As I continue to explore the beautiful trend of large floral prints, I find myself more and more in love with it and willing to wear it everyday!

Since my focus for this post was my “Yellow Jacket” which was actually a coat, I want to share with you a few more pics of beautiful coats that I found on the net that can be worn with everything! Dress it up or dress it down! There are coats for all seasons and occasions. It adds such elegance to any piece you wear!

Fashion Tip: Pick it buttoned down or zippered up but go for it! Treat yourself to a coat this season. Add this to your wardrobe. Don’t shy away from vibrant colors. Coats are a classic signature that never goes out of style!

Wishing you the best,

Trisha

Flowers, Flowers, Flowers

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!

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.

Je te aime Paris

#Paris, #Travel, fashionblogger, mystyle, ootd, Ootdmagazine, Parisfashion, picoftheday

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!

Fashion Tip: Make 2015 a year of New Beginnings..Try a new look! Wear those colors you normally wouldn’t dare to be caught in!

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,
