Ferocious Fashion Forecasting: Animal Print

admin — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 05:08:40 +0000

Ferocious Fashion Forecasting: Animal print continues to be a trend that won’t be going away anytime soon … What is fashion forecasting? It’s the study and prediction of fashion based on the past, present and of course the future. To get specific because we love details, according to Wikipedia its the prediction of colors, fabrics, textures, materials, prints, graphics, beauty/grooming, accessories, footwear, street style, and other styles that will be presented on the runway and in the stores for the upcoming seasons. It’s what every designer does to keep up with this fashion world by gathering information from consumers. Anywhere from whats going on globally to what’s effecting consumers directly to predict future trends. And from what I have gathered from those forecasting, animal prints are not going away anytime soon. They are the past, present and future. And why wouldn’t they be? 2018 was a strong year of ferocious, fierce women standing up for what’s right and using their freedom of speech. What print depicts the up roar of women more than the beauty of these animals. Us ladies will continue to be heard while wearing these prints which have been forecasted to take over Spring and Summer and […]

Sucker for Zara

admin — Thu, 15 Nov 2018 12:00:57 +0000

My name is Michelle, and I’m a sucker for Zara . . . Yes, it’s true. I have a problem like most of us do. I’m addicted to Zara. Though to me it can be quite an overwhelming place to shop with all the trends of the season and most of the time just too much to look at. It’s exhausting, yet I keep coming back for more. Like an addict, and the fact that they have kids clothing too?! Done, just take my wallet and all my money. I will just eat rice and beans for the rest of my life with my daughter (true story, that’s all she will eat. sigh). But seriously, what I do love about them is that they do have all the trends and must haves for the season. SO if you are up for the shopping challenge and have an idea of what you are looking for they are, to me, the most practical and affordable place to shop for all the seasons trends that you may not be ready to invest in. So coming from a full time, exhausted working mom little time on her hands, here are a few helpful […]

Keeping Up With The Martin’s

admin — Thu, 09 Aug 2018 04:35:34 +0000

Keeping up with the Martin’s … When I say “keeping up with the Martin’s” I by all means don’t mean to compare my family to the Kardashians, trust me. When I say “keeping up with the Martin’s” I mean keeping up with this wild one and trying to live a stable, NORMAL life. Which is hard!!! Especially when you don’t have the help and family around you like the K’s do. I just wanted to share a quick post on where this family is currently at right now. Aka “still in survival mode”. I briefly shared a life update last post but would love some feedback, tips and in sight from mom’s out there on this post! Baby girl just had her 14 mo. check up. Yes. 14 months, even though these photos were taken a month ago!! Still so crazy. She continues to be in 100 percentile and currently is wearing 2-3T. Buying clothes and shoes for her has become more difficult than I could ever have imagined. The size on the tag really doesn’t mean anything. Her feet are fat, not wide, just fat and finding shoes are my new nightmare but also a challenge I’ve gladly accepted, […]
