The End of the road for me...

Dear My petites..

I am sorry to say that I will be leaving this blogging platform. I have for sometime now been writing another blog on Onsugar. After much thinking I have decided to let this blog and concentrate on my other blog. I hope all my blogger friends out there will come and check me out. I will still be doing the same thing on my other blog, however I will be adding a little more..

I have decided to go yet another route. I love fashion. It is my passion. However, I am also a mom to three boys and I feel I need to be true to myself and others. I need to incorporate this into my writing. I was sparked by an interesting piece I read on Glamour.com with regards to Moms and Fashion. As you all know I take alot of slack from time to time from other mothers as to my fashion. Sometimes they make me feel like I am selfish because I take the time to look good. But I will not make excuses for my actions. And after reading this blog piece and seing all the comments with regards to this, it prompted me to start a blog with this in mind. There are lot of us out there. Posh Moms is what Ilike to call us !!!. So anyway, thats what I will be doing. Of course I will never stop following trends and writing about them, so even if your not a mom my blog will make sense to you...so please check me out....thanks loves..xoxo

IT'S OH SO COCO

As everyone should know by now, I have an obsession with Coco Chanel.. She is my idol...anyway with the new movie, I was happy to see that Coco's style is still in today...At the time Coco was making a start, her fashion style was a little to risque for most woman of the 1930's, but Coco was a fashion genius way ahead of her time...

As you can see in this picture her tweed jacket and skirt has taken its place in the fashion world......

This is the more modern take of Coco's famous look..I love it.. Very tre chic...

I especially love the fact that Coco adored hats...She was hardly with out one!!!




She had a very tomboy look to her but yet so polished !!!!

Coco's signature fashion staple...Her pearls.....She was always dressed so classy...

As I said before and will probably say again..Coco Chanel was an icon..She defined class...She made a statement..She was a woman before her time....and she was and will forever be a fashion icon.... and my favorite...xoxo

Most of her staple outfits and accesories are still very popular today...And her Little Black dress will never go out....

Do you remember Paper Dolls?

hello my fashionista's!!! hope everyone is well...now that summer has ended its time to get back into the fashion business of writing about it...yeah!!!!...well here's a question for my petites out there....ready...Do you loves remember paper dolls when your were little petites?...OMG they were the best..I remember playing for hours with my paper dolls...Wow its funny to think I have been like this since I was little!!! So do you remember?

Well....if you do remember and you loved it like I did your in luck...there is a website that I discovered called Looklet.com that is a grown-up version of paper dolls...Fabulous right!!!..I decided to give it a try and signed up...It is so much fun....There is literally thousands of different clothes and all kinds of stuff to put together an outfit...You pick out a model and voila you start dressing her...just like when you were little..and the best part is you get to save the look and share it with everyone else that is on Looklet...

It is really alot of fun...so give it a try.....here is the link.....Looklet.com....I cannot wait to here what you think....mishxoxo

ARE YOU A MATCHY GIRL?

Are you a matchy kind of girl? Does your bras and undies have to match? I have to admit I am...When I buy a bra...I must have matching knickers..Why? I don't know...Maybe its my need to be put together...or maybe I am just a little crazy..







Now I am not a lingerie type of girl...honest..its not one of my obsessions...but I do own a plethora of bras...in all different colors..and of course a slew of matching knickers....I cant help it...now that I got a little personal with you..you might as well know this....









I match my undergarments to my outfit..for instance....if I am wearing a pink top...there is a pink bra under it...lol...ya understand?


So do ya think I am crazy or what...Do I suffer from some strange fashion desease?...lol...In my defense all I can say is I like to match...So I guess I am a matchy girl...it could be worse...xoxomish

ps..aren't these matching sets fabulous....lol...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COCO

Tomorrow would have been CoCo Chanel's birthday...so this post is dedicated to her...

Coco was born in 1883 in the South of France, with the name Gabrielle Boheur Chanel..Her mother died when she was little...but before her mother died she taught Coco how to sew...When Coco was just a little girl her father brought her to an orphange and just abanded her...and this is where she grew up and learned to sew even better...

As you can see Coco started with humble beginnings...She began designing hats and designed some of the most beautiful hats France had ever seen....She became famous for her hats which she sold out of a little boutique on 21 rue Cambon in France...

It wasnt until years later that Coco would design her famous bags and perfume...Most people when mentioning the name Coco Chanel always think of perfume..however Coco was directly responsible for the creation of the Little Black Dress..It was Coco who put this in the fashion pages forever....

Her perfume is one of the highest sold perfumes in the world and is still going strong...

Sadly her personal life never thrived..She never married nor had any children..I guess you could say she was married to her craft...She changed fashion in a way that her style still remains today...She is style...She is class...She is a role model for all of us..She was born with nothing and created an Empire...if that it not something then I do not know what its....

On that note...I would just like to say ...HAPPY BIRTHDAY COCO....you are an inspiration to me and to all the other Fashionista's out there....xoxomish

Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.-- Coco Chanel

THINKING AHEAD

Good morning petites..how is everyone today? Hope everyone had a nice and fabulous weekend!!! Well to sum up my last post I just want everyone to know that I did find a pair of jeans..and they fit FABUOUS!!!..They are Vera Wang..and they fit so good that I think I may have to buy several pairs in various colors and styles...lol...Dont ya love it when that happens...I certainly do!!!...With summer almost gone..I am concentating on Fall styles..I love this time of year when you are ending one style season and anticipating the next...I start buying clothes now for the fall and I put it in my closet...and then when I go to look for something to wear in a month or two I am soo pleased with myself...lol..sound familar?....I also love looking thru magazines now too...They are filled with fall inspired items..Thats so much fun...After months of summer clothes its like a breath of fresh air..Fall is my favorite season...I love all the dark colors and sweaters...and school is back in session...With my children home for summer break it has been very hard for me to post like I wanted to...I have been busy spending time with them...So when they are back in school again I will have more time to dedicate myself....until the next time....xoxomish

good morning petites..how is everyone today?....well I am just fabulous..I hope everyone is enjoying the dog days of summer..lol..which brings me to my topic today..I am always shopping one season head and I can not tell you enough how hard it is to find jeans..Jeans to me are like the hardest thing to buy...lol..And whats even more hard to understand is that jeans are like the most popular thing to buy..why is this? Are you relating to this problem? Since I can remember I have always had a very difficult time finding that perfect pair of jeans...Its been such an issue for me that I actually have to psyche myself up for jean shopping...crazy right?...With all the jean company's out there in shop world..you'd think this would be the least of my worries...But its a major problem..Their either too long..too tight...too loose...nothing is ever perfect...hate it..when will this madness end..I wish I could find the perfect pair of jeans...A friend of mine told me recently of the Lucky jeans..She swears by them..She says they are the best jeans ever...so should I give it a whirl...otherwise I might be wearing cargo pants for the rest of my life..lol..xoxomish

FLOWER POWER

hello petites..hope everyone had a nice weekend...and of course it went to fast as usually...so while on my weekend hiatus, I discovered a fabulous new way to have your nails done...With the pink and white nails becoming a little boring these days...one must look for something a little bit more colorful...well you can not get any colorful than this...But my petites this is not hand painted..this is a an adhesive film...Believe it petites...and it gets better...you can have your nails done and walk out of the salon with no smudges and this fabulous invention does not chip!!!..Apparently the nail pro presses the film on the nail and then your nails go under a heat lamp and they set..Voila

This new state of the art nail art is called Minxnails. Beyonce is a hugh fan. She is a regular customer of Minx. There are all kinds of different designs and solid colors to chose from. But before you run right out to your manicurists, keep in mind this much..they are very costly and your nail tech must be trained first, before they can even advertise this service....There is one salon who does this sort of service..Lulu's by Travis Parker..located in San Diego, California...so for all you Fashionista's who live in the San Diego area..check it out...its sounds fabulous and even better it looks fabulous...xoxomish

p.s. dont forget to check out my new blog..ALL DRESSED UP & NOWHERE TO GO

A NEW VENTURE FOR ME !!!!

Good Evening petites..hope everyone is fine and getting ready for the weekend..Im sorry I have not posted lately..I promise I will get better..I just wanted to let all my petites know that I am starting a new venture today..I am gonna use my writing skills and I am going to write a blog based on the daily life of THE FASHIONISTA...called ALL DRESSED UP AND NOWHERE TO GO...funny huh....its basically a daily diary of a girl who seems one way on the outside...but is really something else on the inside...and before anyone asks its not about my personal life..however there may be some topics in there that are a little familiar..lol..anyway please check it out..let me know what you think...xoxomish

OH SOO JUICY !!!

Good Morning Petites...hope everyone is doing well..and of course FABULOUS...today I would like to give another history lesson to all my loves..Its a great one too..very inspiring to say the least...as we all know Juicy Couture has taken the fashion world by storm..every where you go you see juicy written across the items of clothing..I have to admit I think its adorable..very youthful and cute.!!!!...and Very Girly...which I love...but it did not start out that way....



In 1994, Gela Nash-Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy started a fashion label called Travis Jeans..which were maternity pants...In 1996 they changed the name to

Juicy Couture and revised there label to make sexy girl apparel..They started out

with velour tracksuits and casual wear..

There line took off when they sent Madonna a velour tracksuit..and of course that's all it took..Madonna was seen wearing this tracksuit and the trend began....Since then there label has been a hit...

In 2006..they launched a new line called..Couture Couture...which is a reflection of the lifestyles of both designers and is only sold at high end stores...


Today Juicy has expanded its line to include cosmetics, jewelry, handbags and even dog apparel!!!!....


What makes Juicy Couture stand out from the rest is there slogans...


just to name a few......VIVA LA JUICY.....BE JUICY...and my favorite..HER ROYAL JUICYNESS....





I like this story because its every fashionista's dream..Gela Nash-Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy worked hard and the hard work paid off..They are and should be an inspiration to all of us...its a lesson to be learned.....and I love there clothes...they are soo fashionable and so comfy...there FABULOUS!!!!xoxomish

HAVING A PURPLE MOMENT

Good Morning petites...I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend...I did...As you can see my favorite color right now is purple...I can not get enough of it..!!!...My history with the color purple is not a long one..For a long time I stayed away from purple..thought it was not a nice color..but this season something came over me and I love it now..There are so many shades of purple to chose from so there are many options...Did you know that rich violet is the color of royalty?? Nice!!!

This bag is divine.... I love purple flowers!!!!
These shoes are to die for !!!!

I have been burning lavender and lilac candles in my house all season..what a relaxing smell!!!
I would love to have this chair at my desk..would you?

To me this screams FASHIONISTA !!!Even better check out Lily at Bleed for Fashion..because she rocks a similar outfit...Have a great weekend la Petites..xoxomish

IS THE FASHIONISTA A HUNTER?

hello petites..hope everyone is fine and fabulous today..ok I need to get a response from all my dear fashionista's about a issue I may or may not have..lol..among other things..ok..here I go...when I see something that catches my eye ( it usually involves clothes) I must have it..I mean I get crazy until its in my possession..is that weird..do any of you do that?..for an example...a few months ago I was watching old episodes of The Hills and LC had these fabulous glasses on and I went crazy for them...For like a week I scoured every website and store I could find till I found them...then I bought them..and my life felt complete until the next time...Don't get me wrong I love all my purchases...that feeling does not go away..but there is always something else I am on a hunt for..Am I crazy? As I am writing this post I am almost feeling like an addict..like the girl from confessions of a Shopaholic..however I am not in debt..so does that make it better? I love to shop..that is definitely my hobby and I will not make any excuses for that..I have been like this all my life..and I do not think I will ever change...But have I crossed the line with this...or is it perfectly normal?...Isnt it really that bad to want something real bad all the time?...xoxomish
ps..I am on the hunt as we speak for a juicy couture charm...wish me luck

GETTING ALL TIED UP

Ok petites its not what you think..this is about scarves..lol..sorry to disappoint you..So anyway I love this look..You would think that scarves would be just for the winter months..but not anymore...there being worn all year round..and I might add that they are a fabulous item to add just the right touch to an outfit..and lately their popping up everywhere..Of course no one can replace the irreplaceable Hermes scarf or the popular Chanel silk scarf..they have and will withstand the fashion game..but there are some really fabulous scarves out there that come in an array of colors, fabrics and styles..and that are affordable enough to buy a few..like I stated before scarves can instantly transform a simple outfit into tre chic..I personally love the look..It screams put together but in a very trendy kind of way..so give it a whirl...

Hello my petites..

I am soo sorry for not being around the past month..I have been very busy with quite a few things...my boys are out of school for the summer and as you can imagine they have been keeping me very busy..I have also been working on some projects that I have neglected long enough..and last but certainly not least...my husband bought me my puppy I have been bugging him about for the last year..her name is CoCo and she is a doll face..I love her...but its a lot of work...but worth it...so anyway..Im back and recharged and ready to talk shop with my fellow fashionista's...I have thought of some great topics and I cant wait to share them with you gals...I have included a pic of CoCo for all to see..she is quite the fashionista herself..mishxoxo

CHANEL NO. 5

Good Morning Petites..how is everyone today?...I hope your feeling fabulous...Today Fashionista's I would like to hold a little history lesson...A lesson only us Fashionista's will like and understand...And also honor a woman who built an empire out of nothing..CoCo Chanel is one of the most named names when it comes to Fashion..when one thinks of Coco Chanel they think style and class..She is known world wide for her signature handbags..her LBD...and her perfume...

So here is our lesson for today..Did you know that CHANEL NO. 5 is the top selling perfume of all time??...yes it is..a bottle is sold every 30 seconds...Can you believe that?...CoCo Chanel created this little bottle of magic in 1921...when designing the actually smell she wanted something artificial...like a dress...something that had been made...Wow...How fab is that?...I would have to say she was a genius...

I know in my time..I have seen perfume come and go...but CHANEL NO. 5 has withstood the hands of time..One of my favorite all time pictures is Marilyn Monroe with her bottle of CHANEL NO. 5...(which I have included)..MS. Monroe was once asked " What do you wear to bed?" and her response was " Why Chanel No. 5 of course" I love that..

So in ending this little history lesson..if you have never had a whiff of CHANEL NO. 5 give it a try..Its intoxicating..xoxoMish
