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…

Koché Spring/Summer 2019
Fashion Month saw many different styles and aesthetics on the runways, but the Koché runway is possibly the easiest collection to grab right off the runway and wear. This entire collection is street style goals white also being completely chic and runway ready! Photos by Vogue Unlike the many other designers who are all trying to outdo one another in the who can create the wildest and most memorable collection stakes, Koché has taken a decidedly regular turn. No, nothing in this collection will blow your Gucci socks off, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful or elegant. Koché took a step back this season with a collection that…

If the saying “Save the best for last.” is actually true, then Fashion Month is doing it right! With the end of Fashion Month, which is basically the whole month of September, comes Paris Fashion Week. This fashion week is different than the other three cities we have already seen this month. Saint Laurent is a great example as to why Paris Fashion Week is so special! Photos by Vogue Paris Fashion Week is when some of the finest brands and designers come out and show their best! We also get to see stunning runways that go far beyond just the fashion. In shows like this season’s Saint Laurent show,…

Movie Monday: The Big Heat (1953)
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 is no wonder critics and fans alike view it as a timeless piece of cinematic history! The Big Heat is held is such high regard that it even made it on the National Film Registry list of the Library of Congress in 2011. These photos are not mine. Before this film was made in 1953, gangster movies were always portrayed in a more Al Capone kind of light where it was the mob versus the police.…
