Trendy Tuesday: Using Pinterest for Style Ideas

By on January 17, 2012 – 9:57 pm

Since the beginning of the Trendy Tuesday blog, I have done my very best to come up with the most original fashion ideas for my favorite blog readers! *grin* Okay, I know they aren’t always completely original, but for the most part I try to come up with unique, yet easy to wear fashion for all my wonderful clients.

So today in my search for something fabulous for Trendy Tuesday, I decided on a whim to search in Pinterest, typing in “family photo inspiration”. Wow, thousands of ideas (not mine) popped up. So many ideas… some funny, some really interesting, but mostly adorable families with great fashion ideas, that I am sharing with you. I love how these families remembered all the concepts I inspire you with each time I write a Trendy Tuesday blog. Check out how each photo shows families that are coordinating and not matchy, matchy. Pops of  color like a pair of yellow shoes. Photos when families do something interesting, like paint or mud, love it (such a Modern Family Family Portrait Episode)! I even love the mix of solid colors and all the really simple yet fabulous ideas.

I will continue to bring you lots of shopping tips and ideas with each Trendy Tuesday. But in a pinch a great back up is Pinterest. I look forward to seeing all your fabulous fashion ideas at your next LifeXpressions session.

Check out these adorable fashions for Spring from Persnickety. I know I have shared with you some of my favorite Persnickety Clothing outfits in the past…but I think this season the outfits are more photo perfect than ever! I just love all the colors and how everything coordinates together so nicely (and easily).

What little girl wouldn’t love one of these outfits? And because there are so many beautiful fabrics in the clothes, it will be easy to coordinate brothers, cousins, friends, mom and dad for a photo. Just think everyone will be happy in their outfits and smiling.

A spring photo can inspire you to create your Holiday Card for 2012 in April! *grin*

Be sure to order your favorite pieces from Persnickety quickly before they are gone. Schedule your LifeXpressions photo session as soon as your order arrives!

Trendy Tuesday – Holiday Fashion Trends

By on December 20, 2011 – 11:12 pm

As we all get ready for all the holiday festivities and of course ALL the photographs….I have a few fashion trends that will make your photos extra special and super trendy. Some of this season’s best fashion trends can be worn by everyone or anyone in your family. Try a few of these suggestions, I know you will be happy with the results and your photos are sure to sparkle like the New Year’s firework show!

First try the traditional red and green. Don’t be afraid of color. Festive hues can really add something special to your photos. For your littlest little, put her in this adorable classic holiday red plaid from Janie & Jack. For dad add some green with this stylish sweater in green from JCrew.

 

Another trend this season is fur. Fur is so popular I even saw fur legwarmers in a store display. I am not recommending the fur legwarmers necessarily, unless it really works with your outfit! “grin”  BUT….I do recommend adding this popular fashion trend to your wardrobe selections. For mom or an older sister, add something from Ann Taylor like this fabulous fur scarf to a simple outfit. Add a fur vest from JCrew for your girl that coordinates with the family. The look is really something special and unexpected, especially in Florida.

 

I am always reminding you to accessorize for your photos. Add an overstated necklace or sparkle headband to your wardrobe for a real bang. I love how accessorizing can really make a drab outfit a really fab outfit! Don’t be afraid to make a statement, these accessories will sure to be a conversation piece. All of these accessories can be found online or in the store at Anthropologie.

 

Or my last trend to try…. my personal favorite  for the season, be your own trendsetter! Boys will be boys and the best pictures sometimes happen just because you let them be who they are! Here are some fun fashion ideas from Mini Boden, that will let your “all boy” boy be who he wants to for the holiday photos with a bit of fashion that he won’t even notice! (hint: the color green)

Happy Holidays to all my wonderful Trendy Tuesday fashion followers. Another great year of fashion, photos and fun. I look forward to all that 2012 has to offer for my clients and in the world of fashion. Have a safe and happy holiday season, I can’t wait to see all your smiles in the New Year.

Trendy Tuesday – Delightful Details

By on December 6, 2011 – 10:17 pm

Sometimes it is all in the details! This season your holiday outfits can be delightful with a few extra details. Any plain outfit can be even more fantastic with some of my favorite small or large accessories from Ruche. You can apply many of these fashion ideas to your outfits or your families and everyone will sparkle.

Just add some big earrings with some color to a simple dress or outfit. Or I love the idea of adding a scarf to your favorite plain dress. Try this fun gold scarf from Ruche it has some sparkle to it! Shoes are always a great way to surprise someone with your daring fashion sense! Love, love any kind of boot this season!

Color block, lace and belted dresses are all hot this season. All these dresses are an accessory in themselves and will look beautiful in a photo when everyone else is wearing something simple. Love the idea of headbands on moms and girls. Don’t over power your outfit with your hair accessories, but certainly if you can “rock it”, wear it! Try a Pancho or cape jacket which are all the rage this season. They certainly will hide any extra pounds we all wish we didn’t have during the holiday season!

Be delightful this season, accessorize with something fabulous and all the details will look amazing in your photo!

Trendy Tuesday – Dressing up for the Holidays

By on November 22, 2011 – 10:50 pm

 

What could be more adorable than a bunch of girly girls dressed up and ready to celebrate all things festive? I love this combination of outfits from Next Direct. A simple combination of fun tights, skirts, borrowed costume jewelry and super cute shoes make for a perfect photo! Anyone can create this adorable look and add a fun caption for the perfect Holiday Card. I love how happy and comfortable these girls look in their outfits. Comfort makes for the best photos because no one is itchy, fidgety, or miserable in their clothing choices. Add a pop of color, lots of texture and some stripes or dots too, it really work together for these girls.

Dress up for a holiday fun photo, even mom get in on this photo it will make this image even more special. Next Direct has clothes for the whole family at extremely affordable prices.

Enjoy your turkey day and get ready for the holidays with a special photo session from LifeXpressions.

Trendy Tuesday: Specially Chosen Holiday Card Outfits for Girls

By on November 8, 2011 – 6:17 pm

This is such a wonderful holiday season and a special time of year.  Make sure your girls look their best with a specially-chosen outfit just for them. Although these dresses are rather pricey they certainly will be cherished, gain you lots of compliments and are perfect to be captured for a lifetime in a photo!

A special holiday dress for your special girl is just what she needs. The skirts of the Ninachka Couture dresses are individually handpainted. Each dress will twirl and twirl to make her feel so much like a princess. Every dress is as unique as your daughter. A photo in one of these dresses will make a beautiful Christmas card.

I love this Trendy look for a holiday card or a special occasion. Lets choose a setting together to take a perfect photo of her! Find your very own Ninachka Couture dress at Britchin’ Post Boutique, there are so many to choose from!
