What I Wore to the 2019 Illinois Daughters of the American Revolution State Conference
Being a Page for the Daughters of the American Revolution has a specific dress code.

For all of the ladies who are interested in or are thinking about Paging for this wonderful society, it does not cost a lot of money to purchase all white outfits and Paging is an awesome opportunity! Here are the ensembles I wore while Paging at this year’s conference! Dress codes rules for Paging varies from state-to-state and whether you are Paging at Continental Congress (the national…

Movie Monday: A Woman’s Face (1941)
If you are looking for a good drama to watch, you have come to the right place! Today I am reviewing A Woman’s Face, a Joan Crawford classic. This movie has it all! Action, drama, sadness, love, and fashion! There is a lot to cover so let’s jump right in! At first A Woman’s Face seems like a horror/mobster kind of film. However, once you get into the thick of the plot you quickly begin to realize it is so much more! This multifaceted film wants you to root against Joan Crawford’s character. You already know from the moment she makes her debut on the screen that she has done…

Movie Monday: Harvey (1950)
I haven’t done many reviews of James Stewart’s classic films, but that is about to change today! One of my all-time favorite movies that he starred in was the 1950 film Harvey. Let’s dive a little deeper into what made this movie so special to audiences everywhere. If you haven’t ever watched the film Harvey before (which I highly recommend that you do), basically this movie is about how James Stewart’s character seems to have either escaped reality through the form of befriending an imaginary rabbit that stands six feet tall or this bunny (who is named Harvey) is very real and is here to show everyone involved that life…

A Classic Black Turtleneck
Is there anything more chic than a black turtle neck? There is a reason this seemingly simple piece of clothing remains within the ever-changing fashion industry as one that everyone finds attractive. Thanks to the incredible Audrey Hepburn we now consider a black turtleneck a closet essential! Over the years, the color black has proven itself to be the only color in fashion that will never truly go out of style. Yes, you may have the color of the year be a peach or emerald, but if you are wearing an all black ensemble you are immediately seen as someone who is “in the know” so to speak. That is…

The Peacoat Trend
Long before it became the trend of the season, I was wearing this fabulous peacoat! Last year, I went on the long and treacherous search for the perfect fall and winter coat for those days when it wasn’t super cold, but definitely cold enough to warrant wearing a coat. So I went shopping for a peacoat! Fast forward to this year, and I am seeing a lot more ladies follow suit in the peacoat path. This is exciting to me because I believe the peacoat always looks so classic and can dress up almost any outfit! I know that this style of coat is never truly “out of style”, but…

The Wonderful Style of Diana Prince
If you know me you also know just how big of a fan I am of Wonder Woman. I was hooked from the moment I watched the first episode of the 1970’s Wonder Woman show. Now that the iconic superhero has her own film, my love for this character has grown even more! Throughout the many years of Wonder Woman’s existence, we have seen her costume change with the time era she was in. It is commonly debated as to which Wonder Woman suit may be better than another, but what you hear little about is how Wonder Woman’s alter ego Diana Prince has changed her style over the years,…

The Prettiest Little White Dress
Nothing is more of a closet essential than a good white dress. The little white dress can be so versatile, the dress up and dress down options are endless! For me, I love a white dress with a classic pair of cowgirl boots. Of course, you can also wear a dress like this one with sneakers and a denim jacket, too! What stood out to me about this particular white dress is the overlaying and softness! The material feels so lightweight it is perfect for hot days and long hours spent in the sun. Another detail on this dress that sold me was the string on the bodice, it adds…
