Let it Bee
As promised from my Look Book post about the Happy to “Bee” Here polo, I want to share a more in depth post about the bee symbol that seems to be everywhere in fashion. Bees are the symbol of the year! This happy little symbol is a reminder of fancier and happier things. As you can see, it is being used to inspire people to “bee” kind. I personally think this is such an adorable little symbol for the summer of 2019 and for the fashion that will be coming our way this year. High fashion is really what caused the happy little bumble bee to take over the fashion…

Fashion According to That Girl
One of the classic television shows I always loved to watch growing up was the show That Girl! The fashion featured in every episode was always one of my favorite aspects of That Girl and kept me tuning in. Today I want to share my analysis of the fashion displayed in the show That Girl and how it changed over the years. For five seasons Ann Marie of the show That Girl inspired generations of women (including myself) to follow their dreams. Another thing Ann happened to do was have a knack for dressing with all of the fashion trends! Over the course of the television show That Girl, Ann…

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…

Movie Monday: Wife vs. Secretary (1936)
For today’s Movie Monday we are going all the way back to 1936. The film featured in today’s review is Wife vs. Secretary starring Clark Gable, Myrna Loy, and the one and only Jean Harlow. Let’s get right into this review! Let me preference this entire film review by simply saying this first, I have only ever seen Wife vs. Secretary one time entirely through and it was pretty early on in my classic film watching days. Therefore, I was rather confused by the whole thing. Firstly, this movie seemed to be more about Jean Harlow’s character than anyone else. That was possibly the most confusing aspect of this film…

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…
