Cali by Cal... Finally, clothing with built in bras!

Bon Jour ! Gosh it has been soo long since I have talked to my girls! Lot's going on at the house, actually a new makeover! Yeah!  But, I am back and I must say that I missed you :)

I have to admit, besides my shoe obsession, I am addicted to signing up for fashion blogs,  sample sales, fashion events, new boutiques, cool on line stores. You name it, I get it! But I came across this and thought that because it is summer, you all may really appreciate this!  Have you ever wanted to wear a really nice tank, v neck, or even better, an off the shoulder shirt (which by the way is veryy sexy!), but do not want to deal with the bra strap deal?
 Well, divas, the Fashion Gods have been listening to us! 

What do you think??  I LOVE IT! This is only one picture of many of the pieces that this unique company designs.  The best part, you don't have to be a Cali girl to wear these fashionable pieces!  Check out the link below to see more of the collection where to find a store near you :)

FInally! "Hot', 'Hot", "Hot" Golf Apparel!

OOH LA LA!  

Don't you love Face Book?  I love catching up with old and new friends and.....  finding fashion, events, and just cool stuff! So, the other day, I saw this advertisement for "Golf4her",, and OMG, totally love it!

  I grew up on golf, and played avidly and competed for 9 years.. and man do I remember,, the "dress codes". And way back then (1977 -1986), it was so hard to find the "proper clothes" that were cute! I think that I had every color in "Izod" polos :). lol!

 My Mom and her friends always wore the cute skirts that were the typical green and pink, khaki, green and blue...  flamingos, whales, turtles, etc. you know the "preppy look", which I love, but when I saw these designers, Man oh Man!  I am inspired to get back onto the course!  

I have many more styles and designers that I fell in love with "Golf4Her"...www.golf4her.com and you can find them on fb @Golf4her...  Check them out, the company is very warm and sincere.  I had posted a few comments on FB and actually got a personal response!!  Plus, they finally listened to the need of women golfers, we are not dudes, we are chicks who need some fashion out there on the course! :)))

These fashions are just so darn trendy, rock starish, and different, that even if I have a terrible game, I won't care, I have my hot outfit! lol So, without further adoo...  drum roll...... these are just a few picks from one of the designers that I love. "Loudmouth", bringing sexy to the 19th hole and beyond!

Skirt #1

Skirt #2

Skirt #3

 Whatcha golfers think?  Even if you are not a golfer, why not get a hot skirt?  Hey if anything, my game may not be "hot" anymore, but with these skirts, I can look "hot"!! lol.  (PS..  I found golf gloves that even match the skirts!)

Stay tuned for more of my favs.... :) As I really had a difficult time posting my first! lol - I love everything!!!!

Have a beautiful day, and does anyone want to play some golf?  BTW, my hubby bought me new clubs (yes, I have had the same set since highschool, they don't make the "woods anymore", haha),, just need some lessons! 

But first, one ? for yah, what skirt do you like the best?  (there are more on the website too! )

On that note, I am off, and can't wait to get on the course with my new skirt! 

Merci!!!!  xooxoxoxoxoxoxooxox

Do you want to know the secret.. for stronger, healthier, and longer hair :)

Here it is Mademoiselles!  How ironic is it? I spoke to two hair stylists today and it was recommended to use Biotin to help strengthen my hair, ultimately, LONGER and HEALTHIER hair! 

If you have hair like mine which will grows SOO SLOW and when it does grow, it breaks off!  Can you relate? lol.. When I was a little girl,  I had long hair, but that was a long time ago! 

I often think,, should I get extensions?  But it probably would be like getting acrylic nails..?? Beautiful at first and your hands look younger... but the damage can be brutal!... Kind of like extensions? 

What do you think about that??? 

Well girls, I am calling it a night, but wanted to let yah know about "our" secret..  Tomorrow, I must buy Biotin!  You can buy it on Amazon (click on the link) or any drugstore.. (I think)...  

Merci!! xoxoxoxox

The Modern Cardigan.. chic, sexy, for every size :)

Cardigans...  what do you think of when you hear cardigan..??  Your Dad's golf sweater, preppy, wearing your boyfriends "Letter Sweater"? lol,  Well have I got news for you!!  I have found some awesome different ways to wear the cardigan.. and I BET THAT YOU HAVE ONE IN YOUR CLOSET?? If not,  check out your Dad's, Grandpa's,  or better yet, the Goodwill! 

The pics above show you how you can use a cardigan for summer with a cute pair of shorts, jeans, or a skirt. 

 But the some pics that I really loved because they are examples of every day people, different sizes, and how you can go through your closet, and put an outfit together.  I am seeing a trend with "belts, both big and skinny". Even if you are "hiding" behind that shirt.. come on, emphasize your curves and waist.. :)

Pic #1...  love the colors, layering, and gold belt,, notice the shoes? :)

Picture #2.. Oooh, I like! The beautiful colors, the versatility (casual, girlfriend time, or work).. and my fav.. the scarf :) . You could dress it up with a pair of boots, heels, and a cool bag!

Picture #3-- Love the dress, tights, belt, accented orange cardigan, and the "open toe" shoe.

Picture #4.. Totally love this!  She has her own blog and I love what 
she does to pull together an outfit, down to every accessory!  She wears it well, and so can you!

Picture #5,, Once again, great fashion taste!  Love the colors, femininity, the layering, the thickness of the belt, and DID YOU NOTICE>> the Open Toe Shoe!

 Okay girls, now let's go to our closet and see what we find!  Take some pics and show me!! Have some fun and be different:)). MERCI, xoxoxoox

 

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
