Why Duck Boots are a Winter Wardrobe Essential
I am not over exaggerating when I say this, if you don’t have a pair of duck boots already you have got to go get a pair today! They are so perfect for casual outfits in the wintertime, and no matter what the weather is they will get you through it! These boots even made it on my “A Few of My Favorite Things” list for winter 2018/19! Duck boots have gotten me through the sludge of fading away snow and puddles of rain. There is no other pair of shoes that are more reliable this time of year. Sometimes I see ladies where rain boots in the snow and…

Neil Barrett Fall 2019 for Men
Although Neil Barrett isn’t the household name that Calvin Klein or Ralph Lauren is, I believe someday he will be. The collection he showed for men’s fall fashion 2019 was stunning. Earlier I discussed how men’s fashion this year will be a lot about including basic colors to really make one aspect of the outfit stand out. This collection supports this whole belief. This collection really makes the print/picture of what I can only assume is Tokyo stand out. I love how this whole runway combines elements of something classic with futuristic details. The colorful vibes from the collection is also another element from these deigns that are pretty rare…

Men’s Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2019
Once again we see men’s fashion focus their attention to the timeless suit. However, this kind of suit is much more relaxed in the fitting and they are often teamed up with sneakers. We also see that, yet again, accessories are king. Lots of layers are on the runway for men’s fall 2019, and we see the bowtie making a comeback after what seemed like a longtime of the regular time dominating fashion. However, Dolce & Gabbana’s runway has a lot more prints! When I say prints I mean loud, miss matched ones! The kind that makes you wonder if this person knows what they are doing or not. Somehow…

Brioni Fall 2019
It would seem a new kind of men’s fashion is going to make a big run in 2019. This new style includes the fall color pallet I suggested for men back last fall! It also appears that a lot of the styles we will be seeing men wear in 2019 is inspired by Jeff Goldblum’s somewhat eccentric fashion. It’s evident in the thick rimmed glasses and slightly oversized suits that are making an appearance within the Brioni fall 2019 collection. Altogether, this is definitely a Faintly Familiar and Sarah Sigmon approved style! I love when designers take simple styles or colors and put them together with a fun texture. The…

Movie Monday: Desert Nights (1929)
It has been far too long since we have reviewed a silent film! So today is the day I change that! For this “Movie Monday”, I am discussing one of my favorite silent films (with one of my favorite silent film actors) Desert Nights. Desert Nights premiered the same year that another career changing film dubbed for John Gilbert. This was the same year that MGM (the movie studio that Gilbert was signed with at the time) would advertise what would become the “talkies”. Although this was a huge technological advancement for cinema, it ruined Gilbert’s career. Audiences considered his voice to be too feminine and high-pitched. Looking back now…

Now that the winter season has officially begun, I want to continue my “A Few of My Favorite Things” series where I share with you a few of the products and brands that I have discovered or just love to use! This is one of my favorite series to write for on my blog because after these post go up on Faintly Familiar I always get a great response from my readers who want to share the products they love as well! Duck Boots I can’t tell you enough how much I love my Tommy Hilfiger duck boots! Although these boots probably wouldn’t be ideal to wear if there was…

Faux Fur Coats for the Luxury Look
This winter fashion has seen an influx of more luxurious looks. Between animal prints and faux fur, so much of street style these days has influences of old Hollywood. Back in the Silver Screen days, ladies would clamor just to say that they had a mink coat. Having a mink coat was a sign of your social and economic status in the United States. However, we know so much more about what goes into creating coats or other garments with real fur. Thankfully fashion has begun to embrace faux fur and they are no longer promoting using real fur on the runways. Enter in the faux fur coat trend. This…

Movie Monday: Gilda (1946)
For the first Movie Monday of 2019, we are starting out with a classic! The film Gilda is one of the most iconic and famous movies in popular culture. The entrance that Rita Hayworth’s character makes in this film is one referenced often, but never really recreated in the same way. You see, Hayworth that something special within her that translated with audience everywhere. It was especially impactful during the difficult World War II years. So let’s get this new year started off with the same amazing entrance that Gilda made! This was the second film I saw with Glenn Ford as a leading character (the first movie I saw…

New Year, Same Sarah
It would be really easy for me to open up my first “Look Book” style blog post of the year with talking about how I am going to change this year or to talk about my New Years resolutions. However, that is not the case with today’s post because technically I don’t have any resolutions for the new year. If anything, it is more like a life resolution! You see, if 2018 taught me anything it was that being able to adapt to change and finding your footing within all strange and different situations is so important! That is why I have resolved to be open to all opportunities not…
