Put Some SPRING in Your Step!

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

Since we had an almost non-existent winter this year, most of us are ready for a fresh look and to get spring started early. Good thing we at Tres Chic feel the same way. We already have spring colors, jackets, jewelry, and sundresses flooding in. Our UPS men sigh each day they pull up to unload another batch of big boxes! We love our UPS guys!! So as you enjoy the last strange days of winter, I thought I’d give you a preview of what to expect for the vibrant season ahead.

Set Your Sights On Stripes
Think of stripes as a neutral. They are a classic print that evokes cool confidence. Try a striped sundress with straw wedges, or this black and white blazer with patent pumps and slim pants.

This fitted blazer is an ultra-chic way to add stripes to your wardrobe.

Are You Rodeo Ready?
The Houston Rodeo is fast approaching. It’s your opportunity to embrace your inner cowgirl, so adorn yourself with turquoise jewelry, statement belts, and ranch prints.

We’ve Got A Thing For Tangerine
This color is everywhere for spring and summer this year, and you can find the shade that works for you. If you prefer more subdued tones, try it in a shoe or tote bag. It works well as an accent with all neutrals!

Warm Weather Leather
Leather isn’t just for fall and winter. Find it everywhere for spring and summer this year. Look for fun colors and textures, like these new pieces at Tres Chic.

Stay Cool But Look Hot

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

Houston is HOT, HOT, HOT and you can be too.
We’re looking for every way to stay cool in the summer heat.  Summer dresses are the loveliest and coolest way to endure the sun. Stick with natural fibers that breathe, like cotton. Remember, if the dress is lined, make sure the lining is also cotton. Any of these are great, 100% cotton options:

Cotton dress with removable straps

Cotton dress with removable straps

Silk dress with cotton lining

Don’t be afraid to show some leg!! Summer is the time to show off your tan and flaunt your stems. You can go short without giving away the goods. Be tasteful, ladies! The trick is not going short AND tight. Choose one or the other. Our summer best seller is this little number that comes sleeveless or with a cap sleeve. It even is cute as a bathing suit cover-up to the pool!!

Try it belted!

Our other summer favorite, is the kimono style dress. It flows away from the body without being shapeless. Try it with a colorful bandeau instead of a full tank top under to keep cool and be less fussy. The best part is the fun prints it comes in.

Try these tips to beat the heat.  You don’t have to be hot to look hot!

BLING in the New Year!

Saturday, November 20th, 2010

My favorite part of the holiday season is we finally get an excuse to shed our jeans and sneakers look for a little razzle dazzle.  I love the beading, feathers, rhinestones and sequins.  It brings back fond memories of playing dress up in my mom’s costume closet. That’s right, you read that right.  My mom has a walk-in costume closet!  If you know her, this comes as no real surprise.  Growing up, I figured every house had one.  You can still dig deep to find a beehive wig, Jasper High School letter jacket, and a gold lame jumpsuit!  Every little girl’s dream.  Turns out, I didn’t grow out of it, and holiday fashion has supported my habit.  One of the season favorites:

Get your shine on in this A-mazing gold sequin dress.  It’s sure to be a showstopper at your next party!    Happy New Year from the girls at Tres Chic!!
