Fashion: Texas Girl Tank

You don't have to be born in Texas to be a Texas Girl - you just have to have supreme love and pride for the Lone Star State.  For me, I married a Texan and have two born and raised Texas sons so I'm claiming to be a Texas Girl, through and through!

Fashion: Spring Dresses

Shades of blue are a big trend for spring fashion 2017.  I love this printed sleeveless shift dress.  The nylon/spandex fabric make it an effortless fit with a little bit of stretch!  Available from +LDesigns Boutique at +Frisco Mercantile.

Fashion: Grunge Inspired Fashion

The grunge look originated in the late 80's but really took off in the early 90's heavily inspired by the music scene; think Nirvana and Pearl Jam.  The lais a faire attitude behind the look was a combination of flannel, ripped denim, and lots of plaid.  The finished product was to make you appear to have that thrown together look when in reality you spent as much time getting ready in your grunge attire as you did in you big haired, shoulder pad laden, multi-layered outfits of the 80's!

This look has resurfaced in a small way with lots of plaid and flannel being introduced in fall/winter 2016 fashion trends.  However, this time the look is more stylized, with a better fit, and a more feminine flair.

This top from Hem&Thread has super soft thermal sleeves paired with a plaid body.  Super cute and is available from +LDesigns Boutique at +Frisco Mercantile.

Fashion: All About the Plaid

Nothing says fall better than a great, super comfy plaid shirt.  Plaid feels familiar and safe; a trustworthy, classic style.  I love this plaid top from Beach Lunch Lounge.  It has a crisp collar, front shirt pocket, and a rounded hem to give it a more feminine appeal. The best part is the exceptionally soft brushed herringbone fabric - it's soft enough to sleep in!  This cutie is available now from LDesigns at +Frisco Mercantile +LDesigns Boutique.

It's always fun to see where the trends originate.  I love these plaid overcoats from

 New York Fashion Week.  They are statement pieces and they have a significant impact

 on the trends we see in everyday fashions.

Fashion: Animal Print Trends

Animal Prints are one of those fashion trends that are continuously recycled. A classic tailored animal print blouse never really goes out of style.  It may sit in the back of your closet for a season or two but then can be pulled back out and worn again, looking fresh and chic.

You may be bold and wear all over animal print dresses or jackets or maybe you just want a little of the trend to spice up your current wardrobe like this navy hooded sweatshirt with animal print sleeves and hood. (Available from LDesigns at +Frisco Mercantile).

It's fun to look at how the trends play out in high fashion.

Fashion: Military Inspired Jackets

Photo: Monoreno.com

Fashion has traditionally been inspired by the crisp clean look of military uniforms  Think Navy Pea Coats and the leather bomber jacket craze.  Every few years we recirculate the military or cargo jacket trend and this fall you are certain to see that trend popping up in many different forms.

One of the styles that is popular for fall 2106 is this lightweight jacket with zipper detail on pockets and back bodice, side button epaulettes, and two button cuffs.  Will look super cute paired with a floral dress or all black as pictured above.  Jacket available from +LDesigns Boutique at +Frisco Mercantile.

This scaled down look is inspired by what we seen on the high fashion runways:

Fashion: Sequins Sequins Everywhere!

Once again we are seeing the use of sequins in high fashion.  Though it is probably unrealistic for most of us to wear full length garments adorned in sequins in our everyday life, an easy way to incorporate this trend in our everyday wardrobe is by the use of accessories or as in this super cute tee, a little splash of sequins on the pocket.

This super soft heather grey tee has mixed print sleeves and a bronze sequins pocket.  Perfect to throw on for everyday life!  Available from +LDesigns Boutique at +Frisco Mercantile.

Fashion: Baseball Tee with Sequin Pocket

One of the many fashions trends this fall is the use of sequins.  Fall fashion shows displayed shiny, sparkling sequin dresses, jackets and even entire pant suits.  Now most of us are not going to run to Target or to pick up our kids at school in a full length sequin dress (if that's your style then the more power to you!) but adding a little bit of the high fashion trend in small ways to our everyday wardrobe can be fun and is much more realistic!

I love this color-blocked baseball tee with a double layered sequin pocket. Super cute and comfortable and something you can wear to any event!

Here are a couple of pictures from WWD including Michael Kors

 RTW Fall 2016 and Versace RTW Fall 2016.
