Movie Monday: Funny Face (1957)
Audrey Hepburn is known as one of the most stylish ladies in cinema history for a good reason! There is no better example of this than the film Funny Face. Not to mention the classic dancing scenes and songs that are scattered throughout this film, it is no wonder Funny Face is held in high esteem. These photos are not mine. I simply love Funny Face for a number of reasons, one being how bright and colorful it is! For 1957, its scenes vibrantly fill the screen with colors, motion, and sounds that makes this film an overall exciting experience. With all of the senses being used, this is the…

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…

A Thanksgiving Travel Look
The holiday travel season is officially upon us! With Thanksgiving just right around the corner (that is if you live in the United States), it is time we start thinking about traveling and packing all of the fashionable essentials! What are my go-to travel looks? Well, in the fall and winter months I love to layer! A good vest or jacket can go a long way in my book! With this look above, I am wearing two of my favorite colors: blue and gold. Pairing these colors together add so much fun and spice to an otherwise earthy toned season. The contrast between the bright yellow and navy blue is…

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.…

Movie Monday: Lover Come Back (1961)
One of my favorite Rock Hudson and Doris Day films is definitely Lover Come Back! Maybe it is the nostalgia of what was leftover by the 1950’s or the fact that this film centers around two professionals in the advertising business, the major I am currently studying. Whatever the reason, this goofy romantic comedy goes down in the books right next to When Harry Met Sally on my list of all-time greatest films! These photos are not mine. Lover Come Back is a great example of the kind of tried and true friendship Hudson and Day had in real life. Hudson trusted Day’s comedic timing in each film they starred…

40’s Inspired Top
If there is anything I love as much as watching a classic film, it’s wearing clothes inspired by the silver screen era! I found this chic floral top in the clearance section at Kohl’s for only $9! Just seeing the fluttering cap sleeves and feeling the lightweight material gave me vintage vibes. When I tried this top on, I was immediately taken back to a different time! My favorite touch in this top is the delicate, feminine sleeves. For a while now I have felt the pulse of an older yet somehow modernized style trying to surge back into fashion. Maybe we will have a little taste of The Great…

Movie Monday: Rear Window (1954)
These photos are not mine. Possibly one of the most iconic Hitchcock films, Rear Window has a special place in cinema history. This was one of the first movies Hitchcock made in color. There are many fascinating aspects to this film, but one I found particularly interesting was in order to simulate daylight the set required numerous lights. With all of the necessary lamps on the set, at one point the heat they generated set off the sprinkler system! Rear Window was one of five Hitchcock films that was off limits for years because of production rights. Alfred Hitchcock bought back the rights to these “Five Lost Hitchcocks” and left…
