Balloon Sleeves for Fall 2018
We’ve talked about how the princess sleeves trend is huge for fall and it will not be slowing down anytime soon. Matter of fact, the runways we saw during Fashion Month in September proved that we will be seeing princess sleeves even in the spring of 2019. But today I am going to tell you about another sleeve style that has the same kind of popularity and longevity as the princess sleeve — the balloon sleeve. In some ways, I kind of like the balloon sleeve even better than the princess sleeve. This look is cool for fall when it isn’t cold enough for a jacket yet. They trendy sleeves act…

Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2019
Louis Vuitton is creating a whole new kind of street style chic! Chock full of puffy sleeves and western style ankle boots, there is nothing that is off limits with this new kind of casual style! These photos are not mine. In the wide world of high fashion, Louis Vuitton is a leading figure. Decked out in newly styled and fresh street chic designs, this runway was both reflective and futuristic. The main difference between this runway and the Balenciaga runway is that the tones of 80s throwback were nowhere to be found. This is strictly a fashion forward runway. Louis Vuitton gave us a mix of city chic, wild…

Chanel Spring/Summer 2019
Chanel took their classic style to the seaside this season! It served up some fresh, vacation ready inspiration for next summer as well as setting some cool trends in the makeup department. Chanel also transformed their classic tweed suits just for the day on the beach! I simply love this look above! Basically what Chanel is trying to say is that a Chanel girl can make even a burlap bag look good if the name Chanel is on it. Photos by Vogue If you have never worn Chanel to the beach before, don’t worry you are not alone. Chanel is being taken places it has never been before! No other runway this…

Movie Monday: Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
For years all I have heard is how Hocus Pocus is the perfect Halloween. Trust me I love that film too, but Arsenic and Old Lace takes the cake for Halloween movies. This film has it all! It even takes place on a Halloween! These photos are not mine. There are not too many Halloween themed films that can make you laugh, but Arsenic and Old Lace manages to do just that! We initially see that the day which we observe this entire movie is, in fact, Halloween. After that fact is established, it all goes downhill for Cary Grant’s character. The reactions Grant makes in Arsenic and Old Lace…

Fall Fashion Details + Peek-a-Boo Sweater
It’s beginning to look a lot like…autumn? Today we are talking about one of the cutest and unique fall details I have seen, admired, and worn lately. I am talking about what I have dubbed the “Peak-a-Boo” sweater. Why have I given this sweater such a funny nickname? No, it is not because of the impending Halloween holiday. Let me explain. The front of this sweater looks average, but when you see the back there is a curtain effect. Cute, right? Well, it doesn’t stop there! I am not wear multiple layers here, the underneath shirt is sewn together with the outer blue fabric! This extra layer acts as a…

Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2019
Balenciaga gave one of the finest runway shows this year. The whole concept consisted of future meeting present. I loved all of the elements they added in, from the touch of casual with denim to the fashion forward neon. Photos by Vogue It is very rare you will find denim making its a runways debut so chicly, but if anyone could make it happen it is Balenciaga! On this very special runway for spring/summer 2019, Balenciaga created a whole entire world to surround this collection. The lights reflecting off of every wall, and the audience getting an up close look at the designs walking down the runway were all put…

Color Blocking for Fall 2018
As the weather slowly becomes colder, we are all still looking for ways to cope with the in between weather days while also staying stylish. Here is the perfect solution – color blocking. This cute striped sweater has quarter length sleeves, and a scoop neckline. With this neckline you could pair it with a cute scarf or a nice vest. If it gets a little warmer outside on that in between weather day you could style it like how I am wearing the color blocked sweater above! I decided this sweater from Old Navy would be so cute with a cutoff pair of denim shorts and some sandals. Also, color…

Movie Monday: The Time Machine (1960)
As the month of October begins, I will be dedicating the whole month of #MovieMondays to scary/Halloween themed films. The classic film I am highlighting today is The Time Machine, produced and directed by George Pal. These photos are not mine. As much as I hate to admit it, sci-fi and scary films are my guilty pleasure. I remember seeing this film for the first time and being absolutely taken with the plot as well as Rod Taylor’s acting talents. The idea of a society drastically different than ours is not all that hard to imagine, but this film really brought the fear that comes along with a doomed future to…

How to Wear Overalls in the Fall
Over the summer, my love affair for overalls grew strong. They have quickly become a go-to item for me, and I have been looking for ways to wear this new found favorite piece into the fall. I’ve finally found how I will be styling overalls for fall and I cannot wait to show you all! I’m a sucker for sweaters and sweater weather in general so pairing these long overalls with this neon green sweater from H&M was the perfect combo! This sweater is not only my beloved neon green, but it also fits in a slightly relaxed and slightly fitted way. H&M has done it again with this piece,…

Rhoda Morgenstern’s Style
I don’t know about you, but I love it when television shows or films use fashion to speak volumes about a character. It helps set the mood whether that be sadness, fear, joy, or excitement. Style can also be used to display the deterioration or growing of one character’s confidence. That growth of confidence and use of fashion is exactly what we saw from the one and only Rhoda Morganstern! These photos are not mine. When we were first introduced to Rhoda on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, she was considered the fat (even though she was not and looked perfectly fine) loser friend. But we were told that she…
