Slimming Tips!

SLIMMING TIP #1--- Patricia's Secret...

 Bon Jour Mademoiselles :),,  today I am going to reveal a few fashion secrets from the Fashion Gods. shhhh, no just kidding, please spread the word! No matter what size you are, I think that EVERY woman looks like a million dollars in these kind of pants -- the trouser cut pant with the wider leg.  There is something just "chic" about them and I LOVE THEM!

I am only 4'11 and wear the skinny jeans, but I feel like my legs look longer and slimmer when I wear these types of trousers.  But even if you are not my size,,  guess what?  Chicness comes in all shapes and sizes!  This is why this pant is PERFECT!

**** FASHION GOD TIP****

If you feel like you carry more weight around your middle, these pants, with a higher waist provide tummy control, and the wider leg will give you a balanced look"

Slimming Secret #2..... The Peep-Toe Shoe

You know my obsession, passion, and the one thing that I can never get enough of... shoes!!!!! lol..  Okay girls, here is the deal...  when I wear my trousers,  I love them because I can wear them with a boot (pointy toe preferred with heel), pump, but my FAV is an open toe HEEL!  

Even if you are 5'10, no worries, get the heels girl!  You see, being 4'11 can be just as difficult sometimes in the Fashion World as 5'10, but who cares...  be proud to be a chick!  I don't know about you, but when I put heels on, I feel sexier, taller (that is a given, lol), and MUCH more confident..  When you pair the shoes with the trouser pant, look out, hot stuff comin through!!  Your legs will look so much longer and slimmer :) 

The French and Secret #3

Alright Mademoiselles, in my last blog, I wrote about the French and what makes them such Fashion Divas without even trying.. this is one of them, and this is what the French mean when they say" that it doesn't matter what size you are.. if your clothes fit you good, then your confidence will shine through"!  

Trust me honey, even at my height, the Fashion Gods can be cruel to me.. Who in the world wears my size and is 5'7? lol,,  IT  is so RARE that I actually find a pant that is the right length.  I like skinny jeans, but feel much better in the "trouser", but they are a mile long.. so I too, must get it together and just BUY the pants and get them altered! lol..  

If you are wondering, okay PJ , I found a pair of pants that I like and I PROMISE that I will get them altered, but what are the rules? 

Here yah go...  Make sure that the waistbands do not gap and pants are hemmed properly.. which means.. that the pants should cover the top part of your foot without dragging on the ground. AND YES bring those high heel peep toe shoes in.. NO FLATS ALOUD!

Another tip for yah if you need to find person to alterate your clothes.. try a dry cleaner.  Here in Cali, they charge about $8 -10 bucks. Not too bad !

I hope that you all enjoyed today... I am trying to cover all shapes and sizes :)..  We need to be proud of our bodies and take the knowledge from the Fashion Gods to look Hotter than EVAR! 

**If you like the pants shown, I found them on the Lane Bryant website @54.00..  very cute! **

Guess that is a wrap Mademoiselles!!!  Do you have any secrets that you want to share?  Let us know if you try any of these fashion tips!  More to come!!!!  

 

 MERCI!!!!

A little bit' of French Chic, oui, oui?

Bon Jour Madmoiselles..  I must say that I am so excited with the growth of our Fan Page of "La Pink Chambre" on facebook!  Today I noticed two more fans, and of whom I believe are French? Totally Awesome!

Ever since I was a little girl, I have been obsessed with "Paris" and for the life of me cannot tell you why! Maybe it is because I do have a little bit of French Blood in me, and I NEED TO GET BACK TO MY ROOTS? lol,,       

Or could it be that I just have always loved fashion and shoes for as long as I can remember (yes, all of the way from my "pre-school clog days), lol,, I just don't know! 



So, I thought that today I would bring you a few "French" fashion tips today in honor of our passion for fashion :).  

Rule #1 - No matter what your size..  wear what fits you!  IF you are petite, it is worth the money to buy a nice piece and pay for the alteration.  IF you are a bigger girl, DON'T hide under a big shirt or pair of pants!  Find a flattering shirt/pants, and wear it with pride.  When clothes fit you properly, don't you feel a little bit more confident? Kind of like having a good hair day?  And that is the French's secret to achieve a "timeless and chic" look, "Self Confidence" and feeling good about themselves. WORK IT GIRL!  Many of us American girls tend to wear pants that are way too tight, sweatpants, or baggy clothes.  Just by wearing clothes that "fit properly" is the the first step to looking chic and feeling good about YOU!

Tip #2.. The Red Lipstick... I used to wear red lipstick but have gone to the more natural/beachy bronze glossses.  Maybe the reason is because  I moved to Southern Cali a few years ago and the styles are a little bit different from the East? Californians Style tend to be a little bit more laid back.  But when you think of "French" Glamour, you think of Chanel, right? And when you think of Chanel, what color comes to mind.. Red and Pink... 

 Obviously, you wouldn't wear red lipstick with the outfit that I showed you above, lol, but think of black/white outfit, and keep it classic girl!

These are just a couple of tips to help us American girls go chic and French!  Much more to come,,  and I cannot wait to share with you tips of how and what to wear to make yourself look like a chic foxy lady! :))) But until then, look for clothes that truly fit you, not too big or too small.  And BOOST that self-confidence, if you don't feel it for the day, fake it! 


Merci!

Girl Talk... and PMS,, I have a secret!

I know that I am blogging and promoting fashion, but every now and then a girl has to share a secret~  PMS RELIEF! When those pants don't fit you because of bloat and you just feel down right awful, we need HELP! 

So, I am bringing you one of my "magical PMS" remedies.  Who would have ever thought that a beautiful plant like the one shown below could bring a girl such happiness!

This is a Vitex Plant (angus castus - aka fruit) and it will bring you wonders!

Beautiful, I know! But if you are like me, the older I get, the worse my "PMS" symptoms are. How about you?? When I read about this, I thought, okay, what the heck? Worth a try!! I AM DESPERATE!  lol .

It took about a good month of consistent use of the "supplement" to see a difference.  I still have my "days" during my visit from "Dot", but I used to suffer for sometimes 2 whole weeks before she came!

I noticed a difference and when I get out of my "habit"and do not take Vitex daily, I can definitely tell!  Like I say, it will not "cure" you or prevent Dot from coming, but I am having HUGE relief before my week from the ...... visit..

Where to buy Vitex and How Much 

 

 I first ordered VItex on line and spent $10.00 plus shipping and thought that was a good deal for my pain and agony! lol. Then I found it at Henry's (Whole Food), but guess what? I found it on Amazon, the same brand that I use for only $4.00! That is a STEAL! 

So girls, for your convenience, I have posted a link on this blog that will enable you to go right to Amazon and stock up!  It is so worth it!  You have to wait about 30 days to see a difference.  

You are probably wondering, how does this work and is it safe? Yes it is safe, it is all natural ingredients and is all herbal.  Just google "vitex" and you will get the skinny. 

If you are like me, you love fashion, but when you feel like $*$(*@, who wants to try clothes on or for that matter, wear anything but comfy pj;s! lol. 

Are you with me? lol.....  

Let me know if you ordered any, and how it works for yah!  Being a girl can sometimes be hard work, but if we can help each other feel and look the best that we can, yahoo!!!

Merci Madmoiselles! Pass this blog onto your girls!! We need to STOP THE PAIN AND SUFFERING! xoooxoxox

 

The Boyfriend Jacket

THE BOYFRIEND JACKET -- JAZZED UP FOR 2010

I must say that when I saw a "boyfriend jacket" the other day, I didn't know what to think!  All that I could think of was...  been there, done there, with STIR UP PANTS! NO<< not again!  But the more that I look at our fav celebs wear their "boyfriend jackets", maybe I can try??????? But it is just so 80's to me! lol, what is next.. big hair and lots of eye shadow? lol ,, and oh Big shoulder pads..

Maybe that is what Spring is all about? To be fresh and try new things?  Well, if SJP is wearing the "jacket", then it must be vogue? I do have to commend her that I do like how she chose a feminine jacket to go with the pastels.  But as much as I love SJP, this look does remind me of Cybil Shepard in "Moonlighting". At the time, I LOVED her "suits", but I think that I out grew that look. lol 

Maybe??

 

Another one of my fashion icons is Rachel Bison, and she is wearing the "jacket".. and it is from Express.. not to shabby! This I could pull off because I too, am petite (4'11), and the "boxy jackets" DO NOTHING FOR ME! 

LIke the floral combo:)

Here is another example of the "jacket",, with the beautiful floral print that is HOT for Spring..  I still don't know about the jacket.. It reminds me of wearing a pretty dress for a dance/date, yet you have to borrow your boyfriends coat for the party after.. lol

I don't know girls, I guess that if I were to wear a "boyfriend jacket" AGAIN,, I would definitely need one that it is not so boxy and more fitted. However, if you are taller than me, you can pull it off!  

 

I am finding with age that I have to go with what best looks good on me and still be Vogue!  So there yah go, even when I am 90, I will wear what is "in", as long as it it flattering. lol!

What do you think?  Are your wearing one,  will you buy one?  

PS> I did see this jacket @ Walmart.. the Miley Cyrus collection!!

A few of my fav things on a smart diva's budget!

As I was looking at my "Glamour" newsletter of the week, I fell in LOVE (don't I always) with some of the $50 and under beautiful spring items.  However, could not copy for yah!  I am on a mission Madmoiselles to bring a you a refreshing, spring/summer look for you!  We have had 80 degree weather in Cali, and believe it or not, we have had the "log cabin blues too"! However, I did find this sassy dress and could picture myself wearing it on a hot summer day, with a nice tan, at the beach, being fun, funky, and trendy!  PLUS it looks soo comfy! 



I must give credit to this website @ www.Revolve.com... Some great stuff! A little more pricey, but sometimes, a girl has to give in! lol,, I just might have to order this! $75 buckaroos

 The Ring,, the Perfect Accessory!

Next, I LOVE this ring!! I am having some problems tonight with my pics, but I hope that you can see how beautiful that this ring is!!  It is only $24 at Urban Outfitters, another one of favorite stores.. You never know what you are going to find:).  But this ring, you will  look like you just walked out of Sax! I think that this ring will give the dress above just a little bit of "class" to give it a "retro chic" look.  WHAT DO YOU THINK?

The Shoe

Alright girls, the Fashion Gods ARE not with me tonight! lol.. I am finding some really cute things to show you, but the pictures are not letting me copy/paste! If I COULD show you a shoe.. it wold be a cute pair of silver flops (saw a pair at Target for 12.99 with Rhinestones), and yes, a very cute pair @ KMart for only $14.99!

So yes, maybe I should call it a night! lol,, guess that I am in a casual mood and am SO looking forward to wearing cute, easy going and beachy clothes!! 

FASHION GODS, I AM READY FOR SUMMER!!! BRING IT ON!!! 

Here is the rundown, check out Revolve.com, Urban Outfitters, Target, and Kmart!! 

Merci, and I can't wait to hear what you think!  Pass it on!  xoxoxo

 

Digital Print "In"

Bon Jour Madmoiselles! I have been giving you the skinny of what is "hot" for Spring 2010,, but now I am going to give the secret to what is "out" for Spring.  The dress above is the new "digital" look...   it is the new rave! Skirts, tanks, and especially dresses!  What I love about Spring, is that the trend is "feminine, flirty, lots of dresses, etc..  But if you are not the type of girl who likes the "romantic" look, then this is PERFECT for you!!  You can be bold, modern, still use the palette of "lots" of bright color, right off of the page of Vogue..

Graphic Print "Out"

Although the "graphic" print is out for Spring,, I still LOVE the look! When I was googling imgages for this look,  to be honest with you, I still would have chosen them as my favs!  Guess that I like the "mod" look?  But on a different note, isn't it fun to see how celebs can wear the same outfit and with different accessories?  First, I was like, okay "digital",  "graphic", what is the diff?  But I think that I can tell now, that they are both modern, yet a "digital" look is one that is kind of like a modern "tye-dye".. and a "graphic" is like a 70's print.  But I love both!!!! 

So there yah go for ONE look that is out, but is it?  How long with the "digital" look last?  I think that that "graphic" look can be a "classic" look,,, ????? mmmmm,,, what do you think? 

And for one of my good friends,  yes mame, black is still in!!! 


Merci!!

For the Love Of Clogs!! Ooh la la!

I am so excited!  So far this Spring, everything that I see is so eclectic, and taking us back to the 80's and 70's! I remember my first pair of clogs,, when I was 4! They were a rubber, turquoise clog with an orange heel.  Then I had a pair when I was 5, then at 6, a pair with a wooden heel.  I will never forget,, in PE, sporting my new denim dress, knee socks, and clogs. Trying to play volleyball, and my teacher told me to get my hands out of my pockets and play! lol.. But I was trying to "strike a pose",, lol. My love for clogs has continued throughout my passion for shoes! I have a pair of Uggs clogs that I lovee  so much, that the heel is so worn down!  

Spring is going to be hot, hot, hot with a variety of clogs to chose from!  Our fav fashionista,  SJP is wearing her new "trendy" clog with the skinny zippered jean.  No matter what she comes up with, it always looks good! 

The great thing that I love about this new Spring trend is that the "clog" is so updated and we have many varieties to choose from,  Check this next pic out.. 

How gorgeous are these clogs?  LOVE the detail and flowers,,, you can wear these with jeans like SJP, dresses, shorts.. I love the fact that I can still wear my 3 inch heel and look taller and be a trendsetter!

If you want to have a "chic" look.. these clogs are from "Chanel", however,  I know that we can find these cheaper somewhere else.  But I want the white ones!!!! 


Isnt' it great to see the collection and variety?  Yep, my little girl "love for clogs" never went away.. guess it is time to "update" my shoe collection, and go out and buy a few pair!  I will do my duty and let all of my Madmoiselles know the secret..... :) 


Merci! PS. What pair do you like,, are you going to buy a pair?
