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.

Winter Floral

 Hello all!! Hope you had a fabulous weekend. Mine was pretty relaxing after a long week. I was able to check out target yesterday for the Peter Pilotto collection and grabbed a few things including this top. It was pretty cold out so I layered a vintage dress under it and I love the unexpected print combination.
Besides this top, I got a couple other pieces that I can't wait to style. What were you able to snag from the collection, I'd love to hear from you.

Laced

Hello All!! I was really hesitant to put these pictures up because they are all little more sexy than I usually dress but I guess I'm in a sexy mood this week because of the upcoming holiday and wanted to take a walk on the wild side. We were very fortunate last week to have a bit warmer weather than we have grown accustomed to so I decide to put this  outfit together to give some more inspiration for a V-day look. This look is sexy but not in a raunchy way. The sophistication factor is still there and though I show a lot of leg (I have high waisted shorts on as well), the rest of my body is pretty covered up. I actually got the top in the mens section of the thrift store so that it would be a bit oversized and cover my lady bits.

 I actually got the inspiration to put this outfit together by looking at some of the 2014 S/S designer collections. Speaking of collections, NYFW week starts tomorrow and though I  won't be there this season I will definitely be checking out the shows and even share some of my favorites looks. 

Please let me know what you this of this look and what you plan on wearing for Valentines day. As always , you can check out more great content on my Instagram @according2trish

Midi Skirt

There is nothing like a midi skirt to make you instantly glam and lady like. I love this circle midi skirt that I got from H&M last year. The last time I wore it. I went completely lady like, this time I want to add a bit of edge with the open back crop "top" and the leather pumps. The "top" is actually a cardigan that I wore backwards. I love to repurpose pieces and make them function differently for an outfit. What do you all do to refresh your wardrobe (besides shopping because we ALL do that  lol)?

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!!

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.

NYFW Day 2

Hello all, I hope you've enjoyed your weekend. As I type this I am currently in New York for fashion week. Fashion week is one of my favorite times of the year and this trip has been a blast. I have had some truly great experiences. I attended a few shows (which I will be giving you a sneak peek of soon) and have had my fill of fashion lounges and events. I am truly appreciative of the experiences I get to have because of my blog. I can't wait to show you all of the great photos that I took. Until then, here are the pictures I took of my first look which was taken on the second day of Fashion week. 

Lace and Denim

As a Realtor by day, I don't really have the typical 9 to 5 Monday through Friday schedule. So on weekends, when I am showing house or having a open houses, I still have to dress somewhat professionally. I choose to add relaxed elements to my outfit as to not look so stuffy, after all it is the weekend. This look is one that I have been dying to try. The femininity of the lace paired with the edge of the denim top is such an great pair to me. Every one knows I love fusion, in both food and style. The denim top was perfect for giving me just enough warmth now that the weather is becoming slightly cooler. I don't want to believe that fall is just around the corner. Though fall is my favorite season, the year just seems to be going by too quickly.

In other news, I am super ecstatic to be going to New York Fashion Week next week. I love going to the shows and just being around all of the beautiful fashion. I don't have all of my outfit completely ready yet but I'm sure I will get them done in time. I can't wait to show you all of the outfits I've curated (here some from last year) . If your going to NYFW let me know, would love to meet up with some of you!

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. 

Photo Diary: NYFW, the shows

Hello all. I still have so much more Fashion week content I want to share with you all so today's post is a photo diary of the shows that I was so fortunate to see while in New York.

New York Fashion Week Day 1

Hello all, I do apologize for my absence. As you all know I was in New York for the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. I had an amazing time and got a chance to see a few shows. I will definitely be doing some show reviews so stay tuned for that. In the mean time I wanted to show you all what I wore on the first day of fashion week. Now this outfit took a little elbow grease to put together. The feathered peplum top is actually a dyi. I got a plain peplum top from Zara and added feathers to it. The feathers did take a while to add on but I love the result. Though my outfit was all black, I wanted to make it interesting by adding varying textures. The tikka (head piece) was a great addition and gave the outfit the bit of bling it was missing.
Can't wait to share even more of my Fashion week experience with you. Hope you all have a wonderful day. Thanks for reading.

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.
