NYFW Day 3

Here's a look at what I wore on the third day of New York fashion week. This outfit is one of my favorites because the skirt was a DIY project. Yes I made that skirt! It took me two long partial days but I made it and I think it came out beautifully.

I was so excited to find a vintage bustier in my size (I guess woman didn't have big boobs back then). I have been looking for a while and finally grab this one off of ebay. 

I am still in Puerto Rico enjoying the beautiful sunshine but will be flying back home tonight, to what I'm told is "Fall-like" weather. Well I'm headed to the beach for the last time, I hope you all have a wonderful Monday and a fantastic rest of the week.

Boy do I have a lot to share about my birthday week and weekend. First off, I'd like to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday and made my special day one to remember. 

So for my birthday, my fabulous bf took me to New York for a day of pampering and fun. I got my nails done, facial and massage, went sight seeing and topped it off by going to a awesome revolving roof top restaurant. I will share some picture of that day with you later ( unless you follow me on Instagram @according2trish, where you already saw a few pics). 

Ok so, fast forward to this weekend. First, I dyed my hair blonde , which I am soooo loving. How do you all like my new look?

On sunday, I had a huge BBQ with lots of yummies that I can't wait to share with you in some new 

recipe posts. 

Finally, on to this outfit. I wore this out to a movie date with my bf. We went to see 'This is the end ' and though it was very funny, I didn't really appreciate some of the crude content. I wanted to be comfortable yet chic and this summer sweater did the perfect job. It also helped protect from the harsh A/C that they usual have in the theaters. I paired the sweater with some white jean and tan wedges that I got as a birthday gift.  (birthday haul video coming soon). So I think I've talked your ears off enough, thank you so much for stopping!!!

Coolin'

 I went to an alumni cookout this pass weekend and this is the outfit I rocked for the occasion. I was kind of kicking my self the whole time because it was cold!!! What is wrong with this weather. 50 degrees at the end of April??? Global warming is REAL, people. Any who, I just want for it to warm up so I can wear my spring attire and actually feel comfortable.

 Imagine being in the middle of a little town, in the middle of winter, with no coat on, in Germany, being photographed by a guy who's seven feet tall. That's what I was going through while taking these pictures.
I wore this outfit to do some window shopping with the beau while in Germany. I wanted to be comfortable but still a bit fashionable. This sweater also gives off a bit of sex appeal by being slightly see through.

In the alley

I have always wanted  to take pictures in a grungy alley. I don't why but there is something about beauty surrounded by ugly that interests me. I finally got my chance to take these pictures while visiting Amsterdam this weekend. I will have a post about my experience there soon.

So this is my last post of the year :( but I have so much in store for 2013 and I am just super excited. Speaking of 2013, I will be in Berlin for New Years Eve so look forward to a post on that but if you can't wait, follow my experience on instagram @according2trisha

I hope you have a wonderful New years eve and a fabulous New Year!!

3 for 1

First things first, I have to extended my thought and prayers out to the families that were effected by hurricane sandy. I, myself, live on the east coast but planned a vacation to California which so happen to fall the same weekend the hurricane hit so I was so fortunate and am very grateful.

 Ok now to the fashion. I have been a bad blogger *slaps self on wrist*. I've haven't been particularly consistent with posts for a couple of weeks because life has been happening. Fortunately, I'm getting things in order so I'll be posting on a much more regular basis. I thought since I've been neglecting my responsibilities I would give you three different outfits in one post.

 These first shots were taken about a month ago when the weather was a little warmer. I love this dress. The colors are so appropriate for fall and the silhouette is versatile. Between me and you, I've worn it many a few times and have styled it a few different ways.

Dress: Tobi (similar here)
Boots: Steve Madden (love these)
Necklace: Via TjMaxx
Bracelete: Thrifted

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.

Happy Monday All!! I thought I'd give you a little outfit post to start the week off right. This is an outfit that I wore last Thursday to the first anniversary party for Kathrine's La Petite Marmoset reconstructed vintage clothing line. It was a great event and I am so happy for Kathrine. I wish her so much success and am so thankful to have met such a wonderfully talented person. Ok enough of the mushy stuff, is anyone else as excited for spring and summer as I am? The weather in the DMV has  been at least 70 degrees lately and I am loving it. With warm weather comes  flowers and as you can see from my photos the cherry blossoms are starting to bloom. I have to admit, the flowers added a very nice touch to this shoot. Speaking of  the shoot, I am in love with that skirt! It's a 100% silk skirt I found while thrifting. Can you believe someone actually wanted to give this away? Well I guess it's their loss and my wonderful gain.

PS: As I told you all before, there will be a lot of wonderful changes coming to the blog soon and I hope you all are ready!!! I am so excited and can't wait for all the changes to be done. Be sure to be on the  lookout within the next week or so.

Stay Fabulous!!!
