The Moment I Fell In Love With Fashion....
As a blogger and lover of all things fabulous I'm often asked about my love for the fashion industry and where it all came from. The answer is pretty simple.. I was born this way! *Insert Giggle Here*
Seriously, I was fortunate to be born into a family of strong, vibrant and fashionable women. They weren't rich and dripping in diamonds but realized style was an essential part of who they were and they embraced it with no apologies.
My fondest fashion memories date back to being around 5 or 6 years old and watching my great grandma Viola in church. She loved a fab millinery design and owned the most stylish outerwear on the planet. At 9 I can remember her telling me a lady should always have a gorgeous coat, hat and handbag. 20+ years later the sentiment still resonates with me. My mom, grandma and aunts all loved to shop. They weren't your typical shoppers either. They headed to department stores armed with agendas and had a keen sense of detail.
My mom was the fashion risk taker and would experiment with geographic prints, over the top hats on Sunday and sky-high stilettos that made the elders in the sanctuary do a double take. She was my first professor of style and educated me on the importance of purchasing a properly fitted garment. I'm guilty of going through the "too tight is right" stage and believing that was actually a cute look.
While most of my friends were playing with Barbie's, I was the little girl setting up runway stages on her dresser top with a Mickey Mouse record player serving as DJ. I'd primp and prance in the mirror for hours actually believing I was an extra on Dynasty. I mastered the art of walking in heels (4 sizes too big) when most girls were learning to roller skate. I was sipping tea at the Plaza on my sweet sixteen in a custom designed mink jacket. My godmother felt it was necessary for me to be exposed to luxury early in life and I agreed.
I am so fortunate to be able to recall these meomories and the wonderful individuals attached to them. My love affair with fashion wasn't by accident or something I stumbled upon one day. It's always been a part of my DNA and for that I make absolutely no apologies for it.

J.C. Penney Wants You Back.... For Now at Least!
If you're like most savvy shoppers J.C.Penney has long been a trusted name when it comes to children's clothing, housewares and those signature JCP towels. In recent years the retail landscape has changed when it comes to fashion. Department stores are realizing the power of style conscious consumers and have taken steps to get in on the specialty retail game.
Penney's made a few changes along the way and even sent their CEO Mike Ullman packing in the process. The retailer was seeking a fresh new approach to shopping but alienated their faithful customers along the way. With just 17 months on the job, the new CEO Ron Johnson was replaced with the ousted CEO Mike Ullman. Following me yet?
The brand made an ambitious change when Johnson arrived on board. His vision targeted a younger demographic, more designer labels and fewer deals for the consumer. As suspected these changes didn't go over so well and the folks at JCP are admitting it. With voice over ads stating the obvious, "We made a mistake and want you back"... It's going to be quite interesting to watch the beloved brand attempt to turn things around....
But we'll be watching! Oh yes, we'll be watching.

Guess Who's Back.... All My Children Returns In A Dramatic Comeback
Glamours and unapologetic grandeur has returned to daytime television with the reprisal of two of the most iconic and beloved soap operas in television history. If you're a fabulous reader of Tres Chic Style you're aware of my love affair with all things Pine Valley. This fashion frenzied odyssey was one of my first introductions into the world of fashion. While most kids were watching cartoons and Nickolodean I was tuned into All My Children.
On September 23, 2011 the curtains were ceremoniously drawn on my dear old "friends". It was an end of an era and a bittersweet moment for the millions of fans like me that tuned in each day. Reports circulated shortly after that the drama would continue one day on a digital platform. The day is FINALLY here and the fab folks at Prospect Park launched the revival today on Hulu. 30 minute episodes will be posted daily at 5amET/2amPT . Watch, HERE.

Shops at Caesars and Las Vegas fashion blogger, Kishana Holland-Johnson. With a true
passion for fashion, Holland-Johnson has been tapped as a Simon Style Setter and will
provide a local opinion on all things related to fashion, style and beauty.
The announcement of the local Style Setter is part of a nationwide rollout by Simon where
more than 40 style bloggers were selected from a pool of over 700 applicants to be their
local Style Setters. Part of the selection process included the submission of a sample blog
post which was voted on by the mall’s Facebook fans. Shoppers can expect Style Setter
posts to be packed with relevant information about current trends, shopping tips, beauty
insider information, style guidance and the word on the up-to-the minute items available at
The Forum Shops. Style Setter bloggers will also occasionally participate in fashion related
events at the mall including store openings and fashion shows.
”Our approach with the Style Setter program is to hyper-localize fashion content to make
it most relevant to shoppers at The Forum Shops. We look at ourselves as having a unique
opportunity to be content curators,” said Jacque Ellis, vice president of corporate events for
Simon. “You will see this content integrated across Simon’s digital assets. This program
also reinforces Simon’s commitment to fashion & style.”
“We are so excited to announce Kishana Holland-Johnson as the new Forum Shops Style
Setter,” said Maureen Crampton, director of mall marketing and business development.
“She will undoubtedly be a great asset and contribute to our overall media mix. We are
thrilled for her to provide our customers a terrific fashion source and resource that wholly
represents The Forum Shops.”
Kishana Holland-Johnson has been fashion savvy since childhood. She parlayed her lifelong
love of fashion into a successful career in the industry and ultimately founded Tres Chic
Style an online destination for all things fashion, style and beauty. The outlet started as a
blog and has grown to include national and local shopping events, philanthropic endeavors
and more.
“I could not be more thrilled with the Style Setter recognition and to be aligned with The
Forum Shops at Caesars – one of the most highly-acclaimed retail centers worldwide.” said
Holland-Johnson. “There is a great appetite in the Las Vegas area for fashion trend updates,
tips and retailer information. I look forward to being a reliable resource for all things
fashion and for creating experiential retail opportunities for Las Vegas visitors and locals
alike.”
