Blast From The Past Throwback Thursday’s

Blast From The Past Thursday’s

The 80’s

 

Did you ever think that the past would repaper and the fashion of the 80’s would take you by storm.  Legwarmers, over sized tops worn with leggings, long skirts that are worn with belts. Boots with fringe, stiletto’s with all sorts of bright colors and sparkling glitter.  They are also wearing boots with legwarmers. 

 

With all the ways you can wear the styles from the 80’s they look fashionable and very chick not to mention comfortable.

I was born in the 80’s and I remember the movies that came out in the 80’s some of the clothing and the styles we look at and think what were they thinking and low and behold they have came back with a POW and have knocked fashion off the charts.  A few movies that have some great styles are: The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Sixteen Candles, The Goonies.

         

So now that we have visited some of the  great things that have been blast form the past remember the next time you go to a clothing store and you pick up a article of clothing and think what would I this with think it will go with whatever you want it to .. that is the great thing about fashion it is always in.

Wear It Wednesday: Baby It’s Cold Outside

It is snowing and icy pretty hard and heavy here in Iowa. I was supposed to do a Gig for the Iowa Farmers today but the roads were pretty bad and growing up in California I don’t drive well on these roads., so I stayed in. Of course that changed what I was going to wear. (Don’t you hate it when that happens?)

Here is what I ended up with instead of what I planned (which for those who wonder was going to be a little hick and country style)

I have been trying to add a little bow tie here or there for my pal Danny who does Bow tie Wednesdays into my outfits. Since we are stuck inside today I thought I would throw on one of my bandanas and add a little bow-tie but my bow-tie wanted to fly away today instead. It isn’t QUITE Rock-A-Billy but kind of.  I threw on my Green Old Navy Cargo pants, my black casual sweater from Vanity and my bandana I got them cheap for $1 at Walmart (Yes I braved Walmart for bandanas) and what you can’t see is my fuzzy slippers.

Stay warm and there is never a reason to NOT look cute or be comfy. Even when I am dressy I try hard not to wear things that hurt my feet are uncomfortable. What’s the point? That’s not fashionable to be in pain to me. Enjoy your SNOW DAY if you are having one.

What are YOU wearing on Wear it Wednesday today?

Hattily Ever After

Hattily Ever After

 Ever wonder if hats are your thing?  Well just put one on and look in the mirror.  Do you look good, do you look bad.. Buy it, take it home and get into the outfit that you are going to wear for your outing. If you’re a lady put your makeup on if you aren’t already wearing it.  Put that hat on and check yourself out in the mirror. I know it’s going to sound absolutely silly, but totally do it; if anything you will laugh. Make sexy faces at yourself in the mirror. Think “I am the hottest thing since the next Top Model”.  Look at yourself and say “OOOOH! Yeah I made a great choice. I am so happy with this purchase.”

                         

Now for all you men out there…. you all know that you love hats and have at least two if not more.  You probably have your favorite one that you always wear and it is so worn out you are saying “I can’t get rid of it I have had it through all the best times of my life and to part with it would be unheard of.” Men, you have hats are of all sorts; anywhere from ball caps to dress hats, to stocking caps.          

 

At first men would wear hats just to protect themselves from the sun.  Nowadays they wear them to stay warm or to look supper sexy in their duds.

                                                         

       

It doesn’t matter your age, your culture or if you are female or male.  You are Sexy, Beautiful and Worthy!

Mad Men Monday & The Vintage Vibe: Be Your Own Leading Lady

New for SensaFashion Mad Men Monday & The Vintage Vibe. I will post a little bit about Mad Men or my new book Mad Men Fashion File (My Favorite TV Show) and something Vintage on each glorious Monday. 

Many times in life we look up to people as Leading Ladies. Though I feel it is great to look up to others I love the fact that in Mad Men’s Fashion File Book it talks about being our own Leading Lady.

Rita Hayworth said

 “All women have a certain elegance about them which is destroyed when they take off their clothes.” 

Clothes make the women as much as they make the man. The right fit, the right style, the right colors even can make you feel like a model, a super star walking down the red carpet, or a movie star.

Here are a few steps to getting that leading lady look:

• Hair Do

• Do you hair, a stylish bandana, or ponytail with a ribbon or string can even make a difference

Accessorize

• Throw on some earrings or a scarf or a chunky necklace

Under-where?

• Think outside the box or under it, when you feel good under there I truly think you feel good everywhere

Become a Bag Lady

• Have at least of a couple of different styles of bags to go with outfits

She’s Got Legs! And Knows how to Use Them!

• Tights, Nylons, Stockings, Thigh Highs, get them wear them, show those gams!

Anything you can do I can do better

• It’s ok to wear men’s things. Androgony is hot right now. It’s always hot. Wear his shirt. his suit, add a vest. Then pair it with a ruffle top or something. Mix match or all boyish you choose.

Shorts are year round wear. 

• Really they are. Add tights, leg warms, boots. Tada!

You don’t have to be a giraffe or an amazon woman to be tall. 

• Add a heel. A heel you can walk in and feel sexy in. If you trip every time you wear it, that’s not sexy. 

Most important. Be confident. 

Be educated. Read. Study. Learn. Knowledge is power.

Don’t be self-deprecating. Far too often I meet these A-Mazing beautiful women who says I’m not that great. or I’d be better if I lost weight. No you are great RIGHT NOW!!

Each day stand in front of the mirror. Think positive about you. The you that you are RIGHT NOW. Point out the parts you do like. Find something I don’t care. Look at your clothes as an expression of yourself. If they don’t fit, get rid of them. IF they kind of fit but you just need that something, get it. Bag, hair tie, jewelry get it. Waiting until you lose weight, then set a goal. for every pound, get that item. Whatever. 

HAVE FORCED OPTIMISM IF YOU HAVE TO!!

A leading lady walks into the room with style and grace
A leading lady embodies the room the minute she walks in the room
A leading lady has an air of confidence
A leading lady is comfortable in her own skin
A leading lady not only captures but demands attention
A leading lady is someone worth listening to.
A leading lady has appeal
A leading lady is witty
A leading lady is effortless

Many of you know, but my favorite leading lady is none other than Audrey Hepburn. She loved Pink, Butterflies, flowers, and was fun and flirty. Yet many considered her a leading lady.

Spectacular Sunday

Saturday Morning Special: Let’s Talk About IFB, Let’s Talk About You and Me, Let’s Talk About All The Good Things That Will Be

Let’s Talk About IFB, 

Let’s Talk About You and Me, 

Let’s Talk About All The Good Things That Will Be

What is all the hype about the IFB Fashion Conference you say? Well, it is the place we we as fashion bloggers mark our spot as as IFB states “solidify our place” as a Fashion Blogger. We get to meet all these famous people, learn from them, from their mishaps and misfortunes as well as what worked and helped them succeed. We get to meet other Fashion Bloggers we have been tweeting with and Facebooking with and put faces and names together.  I love how IFB says it is like Day Camp.

This will be my first year. For one I just found out about IFB. I didn’t even know they existed until this year. I happened upon someone else’s blog and sadly I don’t know who. I was searching online for some fashion seamstresses in my area and saw it on someone’s blog who DOESN’T live here and was like What is that? and after further investigation fell in love at first viewing! I signed up right away and started diving and delving in. As soon as I saw the IFBCON was but a few mere weeks away I started figuring out means and ways to get there.

At the tail end of last year I made the leap to get back into modeling full time. A few years a go I had SensaFashion as a business and had GRAND PLANS for this Blogging and Designing business and even met with a StartUpCityDSM a company here in Des Moines but plans fail to execute in my favor so I put it on the back burner and moved into a different direction. They helped me realize I wasn’t ready and though I felt like I left with my tail between my legs they did me a grand favor.

At the beginning of this year I reawakened SensaFashion and my Fashion Blogging, as well as my Design business and other services I offer. Things are moving forward well and fast and furious already and it isn’t even the end of January.

I tell you all this because it goes into why I feel it is important for me to go to NY now at this time and this moment in my career. With these new changes and how well things are doing for SensaFashion I did some demographic research. At the beginning of the month/year I was only reaching 32 people a day and now before the end of the month I am reaching over 600 people a day. That is without connections, without ads, without help. Where is the bump coming from? Independent Fashion Bloggers. I am nearly sure of it. 

Yes, I do believe  my constant marketing and knowledge being a Social Media Strategiest has played a huge part, but I truly feel IFB has made a difference in my life and to wait and miss this opportunity I think would be a HUGE disservice to me and my company and my brand.

In the past few weeks changes have already begun taking place. I took a leap to say no to someone who was sucking the life out me and focus on my business and doors flung themselves open to me. I shared my design to a Bakery who is opening their doors to the public and they loved my Vintage Apron and Shirt Dress Design from my new line and placed the first order. A site that is widely known here http://www.desmoineisnotboring.com asked me to write a few pieces about the before, during and after of IFBCON as well be their regular Fashion Blogger (of which I am completely thrilled btw). I now have one Executive Assistant and two interns who also write on the blog with me and things are going swimmingly well. Life is moving along better than I could have EVER imaged and I have a pretty good imagination!!
 (I think Disney-esque my friends say)

I can’t wait to go to IFBCON. I can’t wait to learn and grow and take my business to the next level. I know, I just know deep in my heart and gut that going to IFB will help me to do that and get there.  I am a leaper. I take chances. I know and realize not everyone feels this way. But I will say to you and encourage ALL of you who can, get your tickets to IFBCON.

I think it will change your life.

It already has changed mine.

Fashion Friday~Faux Fur Frenzy

With colder temperatures we’d like to warm things up a bit by looking over some of the
choices available in the department of Faux Fur. Here is some of what we discovered:

We tip our hats to these…

  

            We’re sticking our neck out to these inviting scarves:

These coats are a wrap for stylish warmth…

And now it’s time to give things the “boot”. 

                                       

   

                               

When the temperatures make you say burrr, think of furrr.

Wear it Wednesday 1-23-2013

I hate those three day weekends. It always messes me up. I didn’t remember it was Wear it Wednesday until the wee hours of this morning.

So here is what I put together for MY Wear It Wednesday. What about you?

Some girly GIR Bowties for Bowtie Wednesday for my pal Danny Beyer Wear it Wednesday  

Go check out Danny’s FB page 
https://www.facebook.com/BowTieWednesday

 
Rockin Corky boots, GIR bowties, gray leggings, white socks otk, grey skirt, casting crowns top, vs pink undertop.comfy cute day two! 

What are YOU waring for Wear it Wednesday?

MY friend Danny Beyer has inspired me the last couple of Wednesday to try to incorporate a Bowtie into my Wednesdays for Bowtie Wednesdays. Do you have a weekly wear it tradition even if it is not on Wednesdays? do tell?  

How to look Comfy & Cute

I was asked this week How to Look Comfy and Cute by Jenna Kramer? Well, I added to that a bit and am also adding in Work Appropriate (if it is Friday) If not wear a skirt, leggings, or slacks with this not jeans.

I am a Camisole kinda gal. If needed on a think shirt I will wear a bra, but I like these like Victoria Secret has that have a shelf bra in them. The fact that they are Polka Dots help me feel cute even underneath. The other wonderful thing is with how cold it is today, this helps keep me warm.

Pink Polka Cami

I even wear Polka Dotted panties (ok they are hearts but close enough) to continue the Cute trend underneath

Polka Heart Panties

I love this sweet necklace a newer pal got me for a gift.

I couldn’t decide which earrings

But these ones won out because they matched the necklace the best

Then I layer up sock, one long to tuck in pants and one extra for foot warmth

Don my Cutest boots I got in Valley Junction (I get quite noticed in these bad boys)

My favorite torn jeans, shirt left out and sweater add to the comfy, cute and paired with something other than jeans Work Appropriate as well

Collar shirt, Fuzzy sweater from Wet Seal, jewels, hair and makeup

Then of course rocking it with my Gwen Stefani style coat and my Glam Glasses!

 See! It is all attainable. You just have to learn or know how to style it. And THAT is why people pay me to raid their closet , style for them or shop for them. If you need help with any of those, MY services are for hire and available. Until then, keep following my blogs and eventually you will get your own Sense of Style and Fashion!

Fashion Friday: Signature Style

Sorry this is getting out late. I haven’t quite worked out the kinks on who is writing what yet here.LOL

Today’s topic is Signature Style:

Do you have a Signature Style? Is there something about you that people would say is a style about you? For me it is Vintage. I have people tell me all the time “There is just that Retro Vintage vibe about you” which is funny because then they always guess me 10 years younger than I really am. Ironic eh?!

Also people know me for my bracelets, the fact that I love Pink, Love to have luscious lips, outlandish accessories (i call them props), and I most often wear pink if I can.

I  love life and I enjoy it. I think it comes out in my clothes. I think it comes out in my style. Even in High School I didn’t dress the norm. When everyone else was wearing jeans, I was wearing khakis. When they started wearing Khakis I started liking dresses and skirts. In my Senior year I took a thing called ROP, REgional Occupation Program. From tenth grade on I was in Cosmetology so I changed after school. But then in my Senior Year I decided to dump all those years of rolls and wraps and perms and switch to the business side of life and learn Banking. I had to go to the Bank of America right after lunch hour so I ended up wearing very formal business attire in my Senior year.

The oddity of that is in my Senior year I would say I because more “KNOWN”. Not popular but known. I was involved in many activities, took art, more music courses, Bells, Choir, Drama, Photography and then Banking. This involvement got me seen more. I got ot know more people yes, but the one thing people always told me and complimented me on even in jest was my Fearless Sense of Style. I wore what felt good, what I liked, but that also made me different and stand out even if ever so slightly.

Fashion is more than trends, ethnicity, runway shows and Vogue magazine.

Fashion is you, learning and creating your own Sense of Fashion or Style. Some maybe do not know what that is and lucky for you, I can help. For those who already have it, own it and love it, you know what I mean.

So I leave you with this Fashion Friday Question:

What is your Signature Style? If you don’t have one, whose do you admire?

Happy Fashion Friday,

Xoxo~TrishaTrixie

Leaving you with my Signature Smile

High Heel Silver and Away

Khenri shoes I am walking in a Fashion Show in two days

One of my followers this week asked if we would write about how one is supposed to walk in VERY high heels. As a Model I remember the days having the nearly break my neck in those things. Along the way I learned a few tips that I will share with you:

• Take it Easy

• Don’t try and do the 100 meter dash. Heels are meant to be enjoyed and savored. Take your time in them. Go slow. Easy does it.

Practice walking in them before you wear them out for the first time.

•  I like to bend back the heel a bit near the back of my foot so it doesn’t scrape and give me blisters. Then I strut around in the house on them as long as I can stand it.

Find your Shoe

• If this is your FIRST time on heels- Don’t go 6 inch stilettos. 
• Get some small kitten pumps and start working your way to higher heels
• Perhaps you will find you have no desire to walk in pointy heels, you just want to walk in Kitten pumps. Find the shoe heel you like and work it. If you WANT to learn to like pointy heels then it takes practice

Cushion

• Buy some cushioned insoles if your shoes don’t have them. On some shoes this makes them a bit tighter so when buying, think about whether or not you will be buying insoles for them. You feet will thank you.

Posture is key

• Keep your posture straight and balance
• Keep your legs straight and in front of you

Heel weight

• Put the weight on the back part of your heel and step a pit harder. If you don’t you may walk right out of your shoes.

Stride

• Don’t take bigger steps than you can manage. Find your stride and about how far you can walk in them and feel sturdy and stable

Work it!

• Stop laughing. I mean it. If you are wearing heels, you are wanting to feel confident. Wallflowers don’t “generally” wear heels. Walk tall and proud and own the road, room or floor. Just don’t fall on the floor

Iif you do fall, fall with grace and precision and like you mean it

• When I first learn to roller blade my friend Carrie taught me how to fall first. I thought she was kidding but sometimes learning how you will act when you trip or fall is as much Grace as walking in the heels themselves.

Be cautious

• Hold onto railing, etc if needed. It is more glamorous to hold a railing then it is to fall on your face

• Here is me practicing in my new Khenri shoes I will be wearing for the Fashion Show this Saturday
  Shoe Practice 

  Pose n Practice (TrishaTrixie silliness exudes)

 I leave you with this super cute video on how to walk in high heels. They have a few other thing sI didn’t say so definately watch the video if you can. Her accent and the things they do in the video are amusing

My Favorite Winter Looks-TrishaTrixie

Winter is by far NOT my favorite time of year but since I do have to wear clothes I try to be as fashionable as possible. You know me, always the Fashionista.

I have a cute black and white coat that everyone say reminds them of Gwen Stefani and well now with my White Blonde hair I am sure even more so.

You can kind of see the coat here. I am wearing one of my MANY MANY scarfs. I have them up on a thumbtack in my bathroom, my summer ones put away and my warm fuzzy ones by the door. I like accessories.

The other fun Fashion I have always loved in Winter is Boots! I happened upon these A-mazing boots when I was walking through Valley Junction before New Years Eve looking for a Vintage outfit. I bought them at a cute store called “Fun on 5th” (sounds so like a store I would shop at huh?). I have always wanted a pair of wellies and these are just like that but called Corkys. They are snug fit well and let me tell you, get QUITE the attention!!

My other favorites are sweaters, leggings, and yes leg warmers. I love gloves and as I said already scarves. I think for winter you have to find a Coat or boots or hat or something that really stands out and makes a fashion statement. It is not like summer

Here is my new retro hat and my other set of shades. I wore this to a casting call I went to a few days ago. (I didn’t get the gig but I looked cute anyway right?)

So those are my Favorite Winter Looks. Corrina and CArie will be sharing theirs soon. What are your favorite Winter Looks?

Rock-A-Billy Hair

I love doing my hair in a Rockabilly style. I separate the front center part then twist and push it up in the center. I pin it criss-cross with two bobby pins and then pull the rest of my hair back and tie it off or clip it. Then I get out one of my MANY bandanas and pull it up and around and then tie it off. I add one bobby pin on each side to keep it from sliding then spritz it all with a dab of spray.

Great for summers or when I haven’t had a chance to wash up my locks or when I am just feeling lazy but want to look cute!

Here are some of my Rock-a-Billy Hair styles

And here was my hair today!

and the one of of me in the car with my girly glam glasses

As I am sure my sister Corrina would comment, hair doesn’t have to be hard to be fabulous!  Right sis?

Beauty Train Cases

My new Train case from Sephora arrived today and I am so super excited! I have wanted one this large for over three years and finally got one for a Christmas present!

Currently my bathroom looks like Sephora threw up in it. So this will be a good clean up effort. Here is how chaotic things look now.

Chaotic bathroom makeup mess

Thank you to Keelia Paulsen from KHENRI for showcasing me on her fabulous blog for two pairs of shoes she designed for me.

An excerpt from the Article

“Fabulous Friday we will start with a really cool 40s styled heel I did for my client Miss Trisha for a very special NYE evening at Americana, a local restaurant who threw a 40s party.”

New Year, More Posting

For the new year I will be doing a bit of revamping around here. I don’t do resolutions but if there were ten things I want to do in the coming months this is my list…

One: More Posting! Posts of more posts and more posts on top of that.

Two: Hopefully More Posters (people to help me post)

Three: Regular posting. I know you thin, wait isn’t that the same as one? No not necessarily. I hope to post more but I do hope to post on a more regular basis. I want you all to feel like, hey its this day, isn’t there going to be a post from out beloved Fashionista today? I mean I wouldn’t want you to go through withdrawls or anything. 🙂

Four: More Styling posts. People ask me all the time…where did you get that? Hwo did you decide to put that together? and so on. So I hope to give you more Stylista posts so you will be able to hopefully gain some knowledge from me

Five: Shopping tips. Kind of like above but more focused on where to get the goods. Those who follow me on Facebook already know I love Sephora but I can’t buy clothes there (sadly). So where do I get all these fine wares and Vintage outfits? I will tell you. I will also tell you where to get them to mix and match and a variety of low and high budget items for hopefully everyone’s wallet.

Six: Links. Links to fab places and blogs and other pinup and vintage sites etc. I mean I can’t hoard all the tips and tricks to myself right? (Well, I could but I like to share)

Seven: Makeup tips. How to do certain makeup things like how to do CAts eyes and how to keep your lipstick on through dinner and so on. Also Sephora as well as Avon and other makeup trends and finds.

Eight: Hair Raising! The how to of hair things. I do a lot of Victory Rolls and pin ups style I am sure you all would like to know more about. I may start doing a video series but until then I will take lots of pictures and write explicit details.

Nine: Consider a site change. I know you already went through that last year. But as much as I love this corresponds to SensaFashion, I  am still nto quite sure I like the feel of it. No worries just looking around and maybe adding some widgets and additions.

Ten: Questions. I want to hear from you. What do you want to know about? What have YOU wanted to ask me or one of my other Blogmates?

So there is just a few thoughts on the matter. Keep in touch and keep watch for more. Oh and Happy New Year!!
