How do I wear patent?



After featuring the super-shiny patent boots, i remembered a question i was asked by a friend which basically was-How do I work patent into my wardrobe? Our best advice here at tresChic would be.... for night go super-trendy, wear the boots with a flowy dress & black tights. If your wearing the boots during the day, go with a loose/ wrap cardigan and skinnies. If your looking to simply put a little patent in your wardrobe go with a small clutch or belt.

Fab find of the day


We all know how big patent is right now, and how strong its going to be for fall. For those that cant wait to splurge on a pair of boots I recommends this absolutely amazing pair from jean-michel cazabat, they come in a beautiful black patent leather. Although the $595 price tag is not terrible (considering how amazing they look) I have found a pair that you might just have to get, although they don't have the same super-shiney patent to die for look, they just might do, pick yourself up a pair at Victoria's Secret.

Fab find of the day!


If you didn't know yet we are a fan of purple for this fall, and we are always a fan of dresses, so our favorite new style? Purple dresses paired with black tights. We are giving you our five favorite purple dresses (on sale) that would look perfect with black tights and a sweater for fall. Number one is on the pricey side, but it has such a classic fit that it will be trendy now and stay classic later. Two can be described with just one word-fabulous, this dress is also quite pricey but will be your go-to party dress, a.k.a a great investment. The third dress is a "crazy cute" one that would look adorable alone in the summer (and like we said above) even cuter with tights, best of all its yours for only$69.90! Fourth dress-is more in a t-shirty style, but still would look cute at night paired with some opaque black tights or jeans, it would definitely be a fun and comfortable choice. Our last find was a inexpensive, sophisticated, chic and overall elegant choice.

Fashion for thought?


I have to admit, I have been pleasantly surprised. Elizabeth & James the line the Olsen Twins have created, is suprisingly-well chic, (yet still manges to be playful). I dont know about everyone else, but i was predicting a lot of hobo-(not so)chic outfits from this. However out of everything shown, their is nothing I dont like, the only downside to this collection? Everything is quite pricey. Well check it out online-here

Beauty Advice


In order to feel good about yourself and pull of any sort of high fashion, you need confidence and I dont know about the rest of the bloggers, but personally I would say its safe to say that we all at some point in our life struggle with our face "breaking out" and although the older I get the less of a problem it becomes, when my face is not clea, I just stress out, well about a week ago I came across Neutogena's oil free acne control/acne stress control "product", and need to tell you if you ever have break outs, give this product a try, only a couple days of use and my skin already is cleared up, under control, and all around so much more even. Buy this online here, or at your local walmart or drugstore.

Some of us here at tresChic have realized something, which is we are not only in the need of sweaters but also fabulous coats, so we would like to find some of our favorite splurges and steals with you. The first one here is a playful and cozy looking one from Juicy Couture, the three quarter sleeves mean we can wear it now, and bring it back out in the spring (although it is a little more like a dress, you can still throw it on with a pair of skinnies if necessary). If you like that one but aren't sure about paying the $300 try this similar one from free people. Looking for a warmer or more casual jacket? Try this simple yet warm looking one from Marc by Marc Jacobs. For even more warmth/a lower priced version go with this quilted one from Urban Outfitters.

which knits


The weather keeps getting colder here, so we are all searching (frantically) through our closets for fashionable, warm, knit-sweaters like this one shown from Burberry Porsum. Luckily since none of us can seem to find any in our own closets we have plenty of options to choose from-we cant seem to decide from this cheap but kind of chic one from forever21, this oh-so luxurious looking one from Alexander McQueen, or this middle priced fabulousness from Marc by Marc Jacobs. We can only imagine how many options we could wear these with, casual on the weekend with jeans, office-y with a skirt, or out at night with a simple shift-dress.

Gray Days


One of our favorite emerging trends? Its got to be all of that gray, like this runway look from Marni, the color is easy to wear, can be used as a neutral, and over all perfect for fall. Try this fall trend with this dress from Catherine Malandrino. If you have to add color? Add unexpected red or even yellow accessories

Your going out, for what? Anything. It could be some weekend errand running, out to lunch with a couple of friends, or even a little retail therapy, this is the dress you can picture yourself wearing. For a night look at a pair of tights preferably an opaque black, or try gray, if your running around add a pair of leggings (yes i said the word, give them a try) or if its warm enough wear a pair of boots or simple flats. The best part of this dress not only does it come in red, it is only &107 (and thats down from $215) so hurry up, and pick this one up before its to late! Pick this dress up online-here.
