2013 Mother/Daughter Fashion Show [+ Pics!]

photo (19)

Last weekend for Mother’s Day I was honored to have the chance to style my own “Boss Chic Walk” in the annual Mother/Daughter Fashion Show given by the Sandra M Estes Scholarship Foundation locally. The scholarship is intended for single mothers attending nursing school to help with their college tuition. A good friend of mine, Marissa, started this fashion show last year in honor of her mother, where women and their daughters coordinate outfits and strut on stage. The little girls who are in the show every year always steal the spotlight with their diva attitudes and fierce walks!

In my personal section, I had ten models that I chose to walk and wear looks that I styled myself. I got some of the pieces from my own closet and some were found while thrifting. Other items came from some of the models themselves. They were all such a big help and so cooperative in the fast paced environment. I couldn’t be more thankful! All of the accessories for my part of the show came from Trixi’s Closet, who graciously let me use anything they had without hesitation. The different looks were put together with Trixi’s Closet jewelry in mind to show how versatile the pieces are. Not to mention to showcase how dope my style is! LOL jk or am I? :)

Check out the gallery from the fashion show below and leave a comment with your thoughts! I also posted a detailed list of what each of my models wore as well as what they had on from Trixi’s Closet. I’m so thankful I got the opportunity to support such a good cause!

photo (17)

What’s up bosses and boss chics! I know it’s been quite some time since I’ve blogged, but I recently moved and had to get my internet connection transferred to my new house. Everything is good now and I’m glad to be back! As you all know, the Boss Chic Contest for the month of May is centered around camo and American flag print to show honor for Memorial Day at the end of the month.

This time we have two entries for the contest and I must say that I’m loving both ladies’ looks! I have been wearing a lot of camo and American flag print myself (as seen above), so this contest definitely appeals to my personal style. I’ve posted pics of the two contestants below and also posted a poll where you can submit your vote for your favorite look! You have until this Friday to get your votes in so spread the word and pick your winner! Whoever gets the most votes will receive a gift from Trixi’s Closet which will be announced later! Check out the pics below and cast your votes!

[May OOTD Contest] American Flags & Camo

camoamericanflag

What’s up! It’s that time again for our monthly contest and since Memorial Day is this month, the contest for May is centered around American flag print and camo. These are two of my favorite prints and I think they go very well together. I just bought a pair of camo boots and just got a pair of American flag tights from Trixi’s Closet as well. I can’t wait to wear them together!

For this month’s contest, send in a pic of yourself in either camo or American flag print (you can do both!) to thebosschicfiles@gmail.com by May 15th. I will post the contestants a few days later and give everyone until Memorial Day to vote! The winner will get a gift from Trixi’s Closet and of course our readers will vote for the winner. Since these trends are so popular at the moment, we should get a lot of entries for the contest! Males can even participate in this one so send us your best look and show us what you got!

[Fashion Files] Springtime Leather

springleather

Who said you can’t wear leather during the Spring and Summer seasons? They lied! While most people steer away from leather in the hotter months, it’s a trend that’s really starting to pick up this year. However to pull off the look during this time of year, you can’t wear it like you would in the winter. Cutout leather pieces and colored leather are good ways to add the look into your wardrobe for warm weather. Pairing the pieces with bright colors, light fabrics, and cute sandals help keep the overall look in season without appearing hot and stuffy.

Below I’ve put together a look that I thought would be dope for the spring/summer months, using a cutout leather jacket and booties. The jacket was found at NastyGal.com and is to DIE for butttt it will cost you $318 lol. Don’t worry I won’t be buying it either, but I’m sure you can find similar pieces online if you check the right places. I would tuck the tank top below into the skirt and accessorize with silver jewelry to complete the look. Check out the look I put together below and if you’re interested in buying any of the pieces, you can click the picture to be directed to the site! Are you feeling the trend??

[Fashion Files] Men’s Graphic Tees by Xochi

xochi

My male readers are always getting on me about not blogging about men’s fashion enough, so I have a treat for them today. Xochi is a dope men’s clothing line based out of LA that sells graphic tees, polo shirts, and denim. Their graphic tees are specifically unique because they epitomize the “All-American” guy. Their tees are inspired by things their team finds around them, the cities they live in, movies they watch, music they listen to, and even the animalistic characteristics they see within themselves.

That definitely explains the creativity behind their designs! For example the “Wolfman” tee is a wolf’s head, but the body is dressed in a suit with hands adjusting the tie. It’s the tiny details like those that separate the big brands from those that struggle. I live for clothing items that can’t be found anywhere else, so this brand is definitely a good look. I picked out a few of my favorite graphic tees from their line which you can catch after the break. You can visit their site at http://shop.xochi.us/ and also follow them on Instagram at @xochi_la. Fellas can you rock with Xochi??

XOXO,

OPI Euro Centrale Collection

eurocentrale

What female doesn’t love nail polish? Don’t worry I’ll wait! I look forward to the different nail lacquer collections that come out seasonally, especially from OPI and Essie’s. OPI is on to it’s next European collection which has become one of my favorites after releasing their Holland and Germany lines last year. The Euro-Centrale collection is no different, with it’s wide range of bold and pastel shades.

 Some of my favorite colors in this line are OY-Another Polish Joke!, My Paprika is Hotter Than Yours, Can’t Find My Czechbook, You’re Such A BudaPest, and OPI… Eurso Euro. I have to get these! I usually buy a couple of shades from each OPI collection that’s released, but I’m seriously thinking about checking EBay or Amazon for this full collection so I can have them all. They’re all so different, it’s hard to only pick a few! Are you feeling the latest OPI line? Which shades are made for you?
