Movie Monday: White Christmas (1954)
Arguably one of the greatest holiday films of all time, White Christmas is still enjoyed by audiences everywhere. You don’t have to celebrate Christmas in order to enjoy the talented actors/actresses who brought to life the characters in this film. The dancing scenes and musical numbers are instantly recognizable, and those comedic moments between Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye are equally unforgettable! When White Christmas debuted in theaters in 1954, it was massively popular and became one of the highest grossing films of that year. All of the actors in the starring positions were greatly benefitted from the success of this movie. Crosby and Kaye were ranked high on the…

Movie Monday: Christmas in Connecticut (1945)
Continuing our celebration of the holiday season, this Movie Monday is about the 1940’s classic Christmas in Connecticut. This is one of the most famous films to watch during the holidays, and remains a favorite of Barbara Stanwyck fans. Before Christmas in Connecticut, Barbara Stanwyck was well known for here more serious roles. Having started in the exceptionally popular film Double Indemnity (1944) only one year prior this Christmas classic had Stanwyck at the top of her game. Although she did not receive an Oscar for her work in Double Indemnity, Stanwyck did have the honor of being nominated. The ensembles throughout Christmas in Connecticut remain one of the many…

The Electric Blue Cowl Neck Sweater
The winter season is creeping upon us as we all prepare for the holidays. Along with the changing season is much colder weather, but I am not afraid of being cold this year! This cowl neck sweater will be keeping me warm without having to wear a scarf. Normally I don’t love having tight or bulky things up around my neck, but with this cowl neck styled sweater I don’t have to worry about tying a tight scarf around my neck! At the same time, I also don’t have to worry about feeling constrained by the material. A cowl sweater is such a wintertime essential, in my opinion, and can…

Princess Diana’s Dresses at Kensington Palace
One of the most exciting attractions for me while we were in London was seeing the Princess Diana dress exhibit at Kensington Palace! It made not only my day, week, month, and year but my WHOLE LIFE!!! I’m not really joking when I say this, I am a huge fan of Princess Diana because of her kindness. Seeing her dresses in person made the whole idea of her a lot more real than ever before. At the exhibit they also had quite a few sketches of the dress designs hanging on the walls, so all of those photos are in another blog post. For today, however, we will be focusing…

After a week of recovery and trying to get back into the mode of college classes, I have finally found the time to sit down and tell you all about the awesome trip my brother Jacob and I took on fall break.

Movie Monday: Home Alone (1990)
Since we have officially entered the month of December, I felt it was time to begin our film celebration for the holidays. What better way to kick it all off than with one of the all time best holiday films Home Alone! These photos are not mine. This movie remains one of my favorite films to watch this time of year because the soundtrack is so on point! Every song is such a classic, and I get excited when I hear them on the radio because it reminds me of Home Alone. Chris Columbus had a talent for finding the right music for all of his holiday movies. This reminds…

It is no surprise that Tommy Hilfiger knows how to utilize the colors navy and cherry red to the finest quality.

So at this time of year when the colors of the season call for a cheerful red, I am happy to pull out some of my favorite Tommy Hilfiger designs. This shirt I an absolute classic, in my opinion!

Movie Monday: It Should Happen to You (1954)
It Should Happen to You is yet another classic film that loves to play around with the idea of advertising/advertisements. In this film, Judy Holliday plays a character that comes up with the very original idea to advertise her own name on a billboard in the hopes of becoming famous. Well, the billboard project works! But I will leave what happens in the rest of the film out in case you haven’t ever seen it before. It is a great film though, and I highly recommend watching it! These photos are not mine. This Jack Lemmon’s first role in a Hollywood film! Unlike his role in Some Like It Hot,…

The Arm Details in Sweaters Trend
There are so many reasons I love this sweater, but one of the biggest ones is that it fits in so perfectly with the trend I am seeing this fall/winter. So many shirts and sweaters this season have included a cute little detail along the sleeve! Whether it be lace, leather, or a simple little tie design like the one on my sweater, there are so many ways to add a little flair. I found this sweater at Kohl’s and fell in love with it immediately! It was such a good price, too! I believe I only paid maybe $10 for this sweater because it was on sale the day…
