The Hot Accessory of 2019: Initial & Name Jewelry
Summertime is when scarves and high necklines are no longer needed, but sometimes we still want to wear the perfect accessory. One micro-trend I have been noticing a lot of when it comes to casual street style are initial and name jewelry! This fun little trend really personalizes any outfit and makes for the perfect accessory! Personally, I fell like necklaces go best with v-neck and scoop neck shapes and that is why this trend is so perfect for the summer! I love wearing my initial or name necklace with a cute summer dress, but it also works really well with a t-shirt and shorts. There are so many cute…

Movie Monday: Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941)
I have been SO anxious to review the original Here Comes Mr. Jordan and today is FINALLY that day!! If you can’t tell, this is one of my favorite classic films and one of my movies of all time. Before giving too much away, let’s review this classic! If Robert Montgomery starred in it, odds are I am going to love the film. That, for some reason, always holds true with his films and Here Comes Mr. Jordan is no exception. This film is so clever and imaginative, I just can’t express that emotion enough through my words. Here Comes Mr. Jordan is a MUST SEE film! Now, I am…

The Two-Toned Polo
I have been absolutely loving polos this summer! To me it is the perfect addition to any wardrobe because it is both classy and fun. Today I wanted to share another cute polo I will be wearing a ton this summer that reminds me so much of the gingham trend that was so popular last spring/summer. The one aspect of this polo that I am always drawn to is the two-toned style. With the collar being white and the print a nice navy blue, it really gives this polo a fun two-toned look. It really adds another pop to the overall outfit that wouldn’t be there if the collar was,…

The Making of the Flatform Trend
There are only a few times in fashion history we have seen a piece of clothing or an accessory encompass both fashionability and comfort. For instance, the classic white t-shirt, a anklets, and ballet flats are all just a few examples of timeless clothing from the past. Today, I introduce to you the a modern version of stylish and comfort — the flatform. I have been eyeing these shoes for a while now and the summer of 2019 is finally when it will get to shine! Now, I know that flatforms sounds like a funny little name, but that is because this trendy shoe is a mix of flats and…

What I Wore for Memorial Day 2019
As I get older, the holidays that mean the most to me are less about receiving gifts and more about the people you surround yourself with. Six-year-old Sarah might have told you that her favorite holiday was Christmas or even her birthday. But mature nearly twenty-year-old Sarah is much more invested in the holidays like Thanksgiving (when everyone can be together), the 4th of July, and Memorial Day when those we know or not are remembered for their dedication and sacrifice. So, I wanted to share what I wore on Memorial Day not because it is all about the fashion, but because it is about how I honored those who…

Happy to “Bee” Here
Nothing can truly beat a classic white t-shirt or polo. When you combine those two elements with a simple bee pattern, sky is the limit with how you can style it! Every summer there always seems to be some kind of animal, or in this case a insect, that acts as the fashionable symbol of the year. Well, I believe that 2019’s summer fashion symbol is the bee. I have a detailed theory as to why, but I won’t go into all of that right now and instead I will talk about all of that later. Anyway, back to this polo. I have always had a love for the buttoned…

The Underrated Style of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy
Any woman whose mother-in-law was Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis (I just wrote a post all about Jackie’s style too) would have been a little nervous when it came to filling in Jackie’s fashion shoes. However, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy was a strong, opinionated lady who knew what she liked. Today, I will be focusing on the underrated style of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and how she changed fashion forever. Although when we think of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s life we think of her untimely death, there is so much she contributed to life and fashion while she was alive. Modern street style would not be the same if it were not for Carolyn. Today, you can easily draw…

The Tie-Dye Trend
One of the more surprising trends that I have noticed this spring is one involving tie-dye. It is in so many places these days and can even be found in another spring/summer 2019 trend, the bucket hat. There are so many elements thrown together into this particular trend. For instance, the fusion of color found in the tie-dye trend are similar but a more muted version of the colors we have seen with the neon trend. Additionally, there are also many aspects of the tie-dye trend that has taken over spring fashion that contain the specific look and feel of spring. In my opinion, this just goes to show that…

Wisdom Teeth Removal Series: the Consultation
Yes, the image above is a real photo of the x-ray taken of my teeth. You could be a dentist reading this or someone who is about to get their wisdom teeth removed, too. Either way, it is clear in the x-ray that my mouth does not have enough room for my wisdom teeth to come in. This is the first installment of my three part series about getting wisdom teeth removed. I want to share this experience in the most relatable way possible because as I searched the internet for more information I was never able to find something that was actually from someone’s own experience. All that is…
