Best of F/W 2014

Giambattista Valli

Hello Fashion menu-istas. Just a quick post here showing some of my favorite looks from some of the F/W 2014 runway show. I wasn't able to check out the show in person this season but was definitely checking them out at home. 

This seasons collections were full of rich colors and tons of texture. I tried to pick out a few of my favorites but would love to hear what you liked from the F/W 2014 collection.
Check my collections after the jump.

Peter and sparkles

Hello Beautiful people!!!!

The weather here on the east coast is brutal and this snow is really cramping my style. I nearly froze solid taking these picture. I'm trying hard to be winter appropriate but I can't help but to long for the warmer spring months. The bright aqua colors remind me of the tropics, which would be amazing to be in right now.
I was able to style another piece from my peter pilotto for Target collection. This is actually a dress which I am wearing as a top.
I hope you are all staying warm if you're dealing with the snow and if you are somewhere warm, I hate you. jk

2014

Hello my hungry fashionistas, Happy New Year! Thanks for joining me in the New Year. I hope you all had a wonderful NYE and are ready to get the year started off right. I am so excited to share this year with all of you and I can't wait to share with you some of the new and exciting things that will be happening hear on Fashion According to the Menu.
Today I just want to share my digital fashion/mood board for 2014. These are just some ideas and visions that I have for the blog and my style for this year. Recently I have been really into vision boards. I've done a lot of research about them and I think that they are a great way to have a reminder of what you want for your life and give you motivation to achieve it. I'm even having a vision board party. Click here if your in the DMV and would like to attend.
Well with out further adieu, here is my vision board for Fashion According to the Menu in 2014.

2013

Hello All. I have to apologize for the lack of new outfit post, I'm having some technical difficulties aka my camera is broken. In the mean time, while I wait for my new and way better camera to be delivered, I wanted to share some of my favorite looks from this past year.
2013 wasn't the greatest year for me personally, but I know that 2014 is going to be amazing and for that I am truly grateful and I hope that you all will be there to share in my adventures.

NYFW Day 4: Feathers and Leather

This is probably my favorite outfit from fashion week. I love feathers and this fabulous feather stole, that I found in a quant vintage shop in Amsterdam, is beyond amazing. You wouldn't believe that this actually goes around your neck but I decided to put a Trisha twist on it and tie it around my waist to give a sort of peplum allusion.
I am really into leather this fall. Like I can't get enough of it. I love how this dress isn't completely leather because it makes it that much more interesting.
I just want to warn you all now, these shoes are so chic and comfortable and you will see me wear them  a lot this fall. Speaking of fall, its actually officially fall now. I can't believe how quickly this year seems to be going by. Like many others, fall is my favorite season but I am dreading the colder weather to come. Well, I'm sure I have something else to do right now so I going to stop typing and wish you all a great week!!
Thanks so much for reading and for even more amazing content check out my instagram @according2trish .

Like a boy

Menswear inspired looks are so big this fall, as they have been in the past season. Being of a curvier body type, I was very hesitant to try this trend because I thought I would look too feminine. Well for fashion week I decided to "grow a pair" and try this trend out. The way that I made it work for me is that instead of trying be too masculine, I decided to just take hints of masculinity and incorporate that into my look. This jumper was the perfect piece to help me achieve my goal. Because it was strapless, I kept my very feminine charm but the wide legs and structure gave me the right amount of masculine flare. 

Cutouts and Prints

The thing about fashion week that know one tells you, is that it brings out your fierceness like no other. Maybe its all of the models or the lack of food but something switches in your brain and you just become an extreme amplified and fiercer version of yourself. I love this feeling and it really has encouraged me to step out of my fashion comfort zone. 

Fashion Picks: Fashion Week Inspiration

I love the summer season but fall is quickly approaching and with fall comes Fashion Week! Though its more than a month away I have been stressing out about what to wear for fashion week. This past February I went for the first time and had a wonderful experience. With the knowledge I gained from that experience, I am so excited to go back and take fashion week by storm. I have a few events I want to check out while there so I'm really trying to get all of my outfits together now. In an effort to get my ideas down on screen, I wanted to do a quick post showing some looks that have been inspiring me for fashion week.

Love that skirt and clutch! From Vogue.com

Those pants are just gorge . Might try this with a statement necklace for more of a "WoW" factor.  From Vogue.com

This skirt is  EVERYTHING! It's probably vintage. I would love to find something like this on my next thrifting trip.

Love this Black and white combo.

New York Fashion Week 2012

I can't even find the words to describe how amazing this past weekend was. I attended my first fashion week in New York city and also went to the bloggers night out event. I was so fortunate to attend 5 shows and presentation, one being the Herve Leger show. I had such great time soaking in all the fashion and the experience was beyond anything I could have imagined. I can't wait till September to go again. I will be posting my looks that I wore a little later but to hold you over till then here are a few picture snapped at the various shows and presentation that I went to, plus some great street fashion.
