A Few of My Favorite Things Winter 2018/19
Now that the winter season has officially begun, I want to continue my “A Few of My Favorite Things” series where I share with you a few of the products and brands that I have discovered or just love to use! This is one of my favorite series to write for on my blog because after these post go up on Faintly Familiar I always get a great response from my readers who want to share the products they love as well! Duck Boots I can’t tell you enough how much I love my Tommy Hilfiger duck boots! Although these boots probably wouldn’t be ideal to wear if there was…

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…

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,…

A Few of My Favorite Things: Fall 2018
Now that it is officially fall, it’s time to introduce you to a few of my favorite things for this season. These are actual products that I use or have been using. The reason I started this series was because, if you are anything like me, you always want to know what the highest quality products and the advice of what is best. So here we go! The Herschel backpack brand is the brand I have used since Freshman year of college, and for Sophomore year I am not wavering! I love Herschel because they are sturdy and hold up to my, admittedly, reckless behavior. This backpack has never…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

Erdem Spring/Summer 2019
London Fashion Week is officially in full swing! One of my favorite runways every year is the Erdem fashion show. This show always brings together all of my favorite aspects of fashion: modernity, nostalgia, and simplicity. Let’s have a closer look at this year’s collection shall we… Photos by Vogue From the moment I saw the first pieces of this collection, they not only caught my eye but also my imagination. The sun hats, structured shoulders, and un-obnoxious floral prints all playfully work together to create a memorable collection. The use of accessories, as we saw at New York Fashion Week, once again reign supreme on the London runways. Even…

The Ruffle that Adds a Flair!
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! Anyone who knows me knows that I am a sucker for off the shoulder looks, but ruffles are…
