Movie Monday: The Clock (1945)
Valentine’s Day is upon us which calls for flowers, chocolates, and romantic movies! There are all of the go-to films that everyone talks about, but today I want to review and share a romantic movie that would be absolutely perfect for this holiday. The Clock is one of the forgotten Valentine’s Day films that will warm your heart! Normally, I would not count myself as a fan of Judy Garland. Sure the Wizard of Oz was a favorite of Sarah when she was younger and it still is one of the best musicals, in my opinion. But films like A Star is Born or other Garland movies were never at…

Movie Monday: The Holly and the Ivy (1952)
Today’s Movie Monday is going to be a review of a film that is regarded as a classic in some circles, and in others it is not even known. The Holly and the Ivy (1952) is a British film that has echos of other classic holiday movies that are still loved today. However, there is a large population of people that have never seen it before and I was one of those people until I stumbled upon it. There are no household known Old Hollywood actors or actresses starring in The Holly and the Ivy, but maybe that why is it all too often ignored during the holiday movie season.…

The Trendy Glasses Shape of 2019 & 2020
The photos in this blog post are going to be a bit strange to my Faintly Familiar Family because they will be seeing me in an unusually form. Today I am wearing glasses. Yes, the frames are my prescription based frames and a style choice occasionally. I’m a bit of a free spirit so generally I like the freedom of wearing contacts, however, I do feel like a cute pair of glasses frames can really go a long way in making your outfit look cute. Even if they are not prescription based glasses, just a fashionable pair of frames can really be the perfect accessory! With the wide variety of…

Farewell to Summer 2019
Last summer I wrote a blog post saying goodbye to the summer season I had, and this year I want to continue that tradition. Summer 2019 was seasons filled with joy and growth for me personally. A lot happened and changed for my family, and this summer marked a large shift in all of our lives. One of the reasons this summer was so special was because of the job I had. I spent my summer at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus (where I am a student about to go into my junior year) as a tour guide for incoming freshmen and perspective students. This job allowed me to…

Designers That Changed Fashion: Hubert de Givenchy
Continuing the series of “Designers That Changed Fashion”, I am highlighting a famous designer who is loved by many. Hubert de Givenchy created some of the most timeless designs that we all still love and appreciate even to this day. However, I have a few thoughts as to how Givenchy differentiated himself from everyone else. Some of the most iconic looks of any film or character have been designer by Hubert de Givenchy. Remember Breakfast at Tiffanies? Of course, it helped that he had a fabulous model in Audrey Hepburn to help him get his name into the films and to slowly become the face of his brand. However, in…

The Floral & Lace T-Shirt
Is there anything cuter or more effortless for summer fashion than throwing on a t-shirt? One of my favorite go-to summer styles is a t-shirt and shorts. Well, every once in a while you gotta have a statement t-shirt to spruce things up, and that is exactly what I have today! Floral is an absolute summer and spring staple for any wardrobe, while lace is a lot of the time left for special occasions. With this t-shirt I am combining both of these styles to create something typical, yet timeless and elegant. The lace trim is one of my favorites aspects of this t-shirt because it is just to unique…

Old Navy has a great selection to…
