If you are like me and enjoy a good drama film every now and then, The Big Heat is the movie for you! This black and white classic is real, raw, and gripping.

It reminded me very much of the same style we would have seen Elizabeth Montgomery’s Samantha Stevens of Bewitched wear! Hence the inspiration for this post!

Burberry Spring/Summer 2019 for Women
When Burberry name Riccardo Tisci the Chief Creative Officer of the brand back in March of this year, everyone wondered in which direction he would take the Burberry brand. The excitement surrounding his introductory collection for the brand gave London Fashion week a Monday boost. Photos by Vogue Burberry is widely known as a fashion brand built into the British DNA. Evidence of the cultural staple that Burberry is in England shows up in the classic trench coat.

Burberry Spring/Summer 2019 for Men
In some ways, I almost feel like the designs that were wore by the men on Burberry’s 2019 runway were better than even the ladies. Look through the photos below and then I will explain why I am saying the men’s designs are better. Photos by Vogue Don’t get me wrong, I loved the fascination with the trench coat for the ladies’ designs, but I just felt like the men had more variety. One of the aspects I value most about fashion is variety. If I can mix and match this in new and fun ways, I am one happy girl! I just feel like the women’s collection was too focused…

Movie Monday: Pride and Prejudice (1940)
Because I had never seen one of her films before, I always wondered what all the Greer Garson buzz was about. After seeing Pride and Prejudice I finally understood why she is considered a legend. I fell in love with the story of Pride and Prejudice all over again when viewing this film, and became an instant fan of Garson! These photos are not mine. Originally, MGM’s Irving Thalberg purchased the rights to this Jane Austin romance novel as a role for Thalberg’s wife at the time, Norma Shearer. After Thalberg passed away in 1936, the process was paused for a time. Not long after Thalberg’s passing Greer Garson was selected as the…

Ruffles have been all the rage for quite some time now, and it has made wearing casual dresses that much more fun! The cool new addition of a ruffle to an off the shoulder dress makes all the difference in a wardrobe! You can add heels to this look or wear it with sandals like I have. It is the perfect dress to wear to family functions or a night out with the ladies! Another touch I found especially appealing are the orange and gold details at the edge of this ruffle!
