The Mixed Print Cardigan
There are so many ways to keep warm during the fall season. A denim, leather, or corduroy jacket are all popular and classic options you will see a lot this season. However, there is another way that is equally classic and on trend to stay warm this autumn. I’m talking about a cozy cardigan, of course! Cardigans are the perfect addition to any look and really can complete an outfit if worn correctly. There are a ton of cardigan styles to choose from, but there is one particular trend in this layering department — the mixed print cardigan. This particular trendy item is something that will be making a lot…

A Vintage Puff Sleeve
The runways have been full of interesting shoulder designs, and it has inspired me to transform this spring 2020 trend into a fall 2019 look! Last week in the Look Book I talked about the 80s inspiration that is showing up in shows like the Versace’s spring collection. However, today I am talking about a more vintage look that involves echos of the 40s. I love all things classic, especially classic films. So it probably comes as no surprise to you all when I say that the 40s inspiration for the shoulder designs we have been seeing more of is one of my fashion trends of the future. The main…

Prada Spring 2020
Prada has a very interesting take on what spring 2020 fashion will look like. While skipping all of the pastels and florals, Prada decided to do things in a retro style. This spring collection reminds me very much of the 1930s and what you would have seen back in that era (which happens to be one of my favorite times for fashion). However, each design had a distinct modern edge to it. These dresses were all very much like the straight down, a-line style we have been seeing a bit more of. This is just another example of the 1930s vibes I get from this entire runway. One Old Hollywood…

Vionic Autumn Ankle Boots
I have some exciting news for you all! My obsession with autumn ankle boots has finally found the perfect match! The folks at Vionic Shoes were kind enough to send me a pair of their new autumn ankle boots so I could try them out. Now that it is officially fall, the weather here in the Midwest is actually getting a bit chiller outside than what it has been. So I have tested these Vionic ankle boots and they are wonderful! Not only are they super comfortable, but they are chic! Vionic shoes are a brand I have grown up with because they are supportive of the back and legs.…

Burberry Spring 2020
There are a lot of different aspects of this runway I will be covering today with this Runway Review. I am picking up a lot of notes on spring trends that have been consistent across several collections and I will compile them all into one blog post for you all later after Fashion Month. However, today’s Burberry spring 2020 collection has a lot to give us to talk about, so lets get started! First of all, I just want to say that Burberry did a splendid job differentiating themselves from the last spring collection we saw from them. Typically, this brand leans into the classic trench coat and scarf look…

Halpern Spring 2020
Wow, wow, wow! This Halpern spring 2020 runway may be the best one I have seen so far! This doesn’t feel like any one seasonal collection, but it feels like a Met Gala red carpet all rolled up into a runway! There is so much glamour that can be found in this Halpern collection which I love. This level of sophistication is not typical found within a spring collection that is for sure. When the average person thinks of spring they may think of bunnies, sunshine, and grass. In other words, pastels, muted colors, and anything matte. Halpern took all of the expectations I had, threw them in the trash,…

Movie Monday: Nothing Sacred (1937)
Ever since I watched My Man Godfrey, Carole Lombard has been one of my favorite comedic Old Hollywood actresses. Not only is she funny, but Lombard is also able to play off the dramatic side of things while still keeping her cool. Today I am going to review another Lombard classic called Nothing Sacred that features a bit of her comedic style as well. What I like most about Nothing Sacred is the dynamic between Carole Lombard and Fredric March. It isn’t quite like the chemistry Lombard had with William Powell on screen, however, that is the reason I think it is so refreshing. In my opinion, it seems that…

Movie Monday: The Maltese Falcon (1941)
There are a few films that everyone seems to know of even if that is based off of cultural references. Humphrey Bogart was one lucky actor to be apart of a few of the movies that have made it into the cultural lexicon. Today’s Movie Monday is focused on reviewing one of those famous films! The featured film here is the 1941 version of The Maltese Falcon. Although The Maltese Falcon was done what feels like a million times, Humphrey Bogart is arguably the main difference in what this particular story so popular among audiences. As usual, Bogart has a sultry, hard exterior that he portrays to capture just the…

A 60s Inspired Dress with a Modern Twist
There are so many different decades and time eras that inspire me when it comes to fashion, and one of those decades is the 60s! Although there are a variety of sources I take inspiration from, the 60s is one I never get tired of. However, this dress in particular is one that has some unique twists that make it distinctly a modern piece. A few of the designs that makes this dress a modern, 60s classic are the halter top, the silhouette of the dress, and the bold yet tasteful floral print. The print featured on this dress is not your grandmother’s couch design (although we do all love…

Mustard Yellow is the Autumn Shade of Fall 2019
Each season we have our go-to colors for whatever time of the year we are trying to dress for. Spring sees a slew of pastels (even if Miranda Priestly would roll her eyes), winter brings in holiday colors, and fall is the time for browns and burgundies. This limited color palette for each season may feel a little limiting, but there is always one break out star of the pack that ends up being THE shade of that particular season. For the fall of 2019, the “IT” color will be mustard yellow! Now, this may seem like another basic fall color to wear, but there are so many different shades…
