Movie Monday: His Girl Friday (1940)
Is there anything more fitting for April Fool’s Day than a good comedy? I don’t think so! That is why for this Movie Monday I am reviewing the hilarious comedy His Girl Friday! This fasting talking and witty film can be pretty hard to keep up with sometimes. If you are not paying close attention then you might miss some of the jokes being thrown everywhere in His Girl Friday. But when you do pay attention, man is this film hilarious! The characterization of having these newspaper journalists speak in such a fast manner feels so fitting. Realistically, I don’t think anyone could constantly roll out the sentences that these…

The Color of 2019
Last November, Pantone announced there annual color of the year and 2019’s color is called “Living Coral”! This shade of coral had, from what I can tell, undertones of peach and red. Although this color may not be my favorite (let’s be honest, I would prefer a pink of some kind :)), I can definitely see where “Living Coral” can be used in fashion. Recently, I found this sweater at Old Navy and it reminded me of the “Living Coral” color! Besides adding that pop of color that winter wardrobes often times need, this bright shade can also provide a lot of versatility to how you layer sweaters. This Old…

The Toronto Trip: Day 2
Today I am covering the second and final day we spent exploring the city of Toronto! Both of the days were very exciting and fun, but the second day of this trip has arguably more beautiful photos. Keep reading this post to see them all! The Gooderham Building This is one of the most iconic buildings in Toronto and such a cool architectural structure to see! Honestly, it looks like something that would be in a movie or New York City. It has that Old World charm to it and gives the city a classical touch to an otherwise very modern looking place. There wasn’t really much to do with…

The Toronto Trip: Day 1
This year for spring break, I took the unconventional step of going somewhere not known for its warm weather. I recently spent two days in the city of Toronto with my Dad and older brother (Jacob) seeing the sights and sounds. Although it was a very short trip, I had a ton of fun seeing all of the iconic places and buildings in the city. Also, this was the first time I had ever been to Canada so that made this trip extra exciting! Now I know what you are thinking, “Sarah, you are supposed to go somewhere warm for spring break now cold!”. Well, I am a rule breaker…

Movie Monday: Dark Passage (1947)
A drama that has stood the test of time is Dark Passage! This one of the iconic Bogie and Bacall films, and an intense one at that. All of these elements are the reason why Dark Passage is such a perfect fit for Movie Monday! One of the best aspects of Dark Passage is the cinematography choices they made. A large portion of this film is viewed from Humphrey Bogart’s point of view. Everything is seen through his eyes and from his perspective. This was what initially drew me into this movie. The artistic choice to not show the leading man’s face was a bold move. Eventually Bogart does show…

How Polka Dots & Yellow are the Micro-Trends of Spring 2019
Something that I have been noticing a lot of recently is the random emergence of polka dots. They can be found in so many different places and they have become something of a kind of micro-trend. A lot of fashionable ladies have embraced the polka dots for spring 2019 trend, and I have now too! Polka dots have always been one of my favorite prints and let’s be honest, they never truly go out of style. But there are times when we see more of this pattern than other moments in fashion. Right now it is really ganging steam and it could be a trend that very well lasts into…

The Lug Bag
The summer travel season will be here before we know it, and spring break vacations have already began in many places. Thinking about traveling anywhere, even if it is just a day trip, always makes me wonder what kind of bag I should bring along with me. It constantly feels like while on a trip/vacation that there is way more that you need or want to carry in a bag. The more I need to carry, the more pockets I need on my bag. Well, in pursuit of the perfect bag for trips and a vacation (and just in time for all of the fun to begin) I have found…

Movie Monday: Strange Cargo (1940)
Strange Cargo is one of those films that you see one time and all you can do is replay it in your head afterwards. Although this movie is considered a classic, not many people have heard of it. That is why today’s Movie Monday is dedicated to this highly underrated movie! Strange Cargo is full of rich symbolism. It’s about right and wrong, and understanding that the right thing may not always be what is best for your specific situation. The boat scenes are symbolic of life and the waves we all go through on a daily basis. Among all of the hidden meanings in Strange Cargo are complicated characters…

What I’m Wearing for St. Patrick’s Day 2019
Whether you are superstitious like me or not, the truth is no one wants to be pinched simply for not wearing green on any particular day. But that doesn’t mean you have to completely deck yourself out in shamrocks either! This year, I am taking a bit of a different approach to St. Patrick’s Day. Instead of wearing the normal bright green shamrock t-shirt or a “Kiss me I’m Irish” sweater, try going for a more versatile (and dare I say timeless) look. For instance, the top I am wearing above is not only an easy solution for St. Patrick’s Day, but it is also something that can be worn…

Valentino Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear Collection
This collection by Valentino has reminded me of street art and graffiti from the first moment I saw it! I absolutely love the bold, artistic take with this runway. This is elevated street style, in my opinion! The red and pink colors that Valentino used in this collection are very reminiscent of what we see during Valentine’s Day celebrations which is very fitting for their name. While the deep green and white shades are more fit for the fall season it was designed to be worn in. This color palette works surprisingly well together, and makes for a really cool and somewhat edgy runway. Accessories acted as the glue that…
