The Making of the Flatform Trend
There are only a few times in fashion history we have seen a piece of clothing or an accessory encompass both fashionability and comfort. For instance, the classic white t-shirt, a anklets, and ballet flats are all just a few examples of timeless clothing from the past. Today, I introduce to you the a modern version of stylish and comfort — the flatform. I have been eyeing these shoes for a while now and the summer of 2019 is finally when it will get to shine! Now, I know that flatforms sounds like a funny little name, but that is because this trendy shoe is a mix of flats and…

The Tie-Dye Trend
One of the more surprising trends that I have noticed this spring is one involving tie-dye. It is in so many places these days and can even be found in another spring/summer 2019 trend, the bucket hat. There are so many elements thrown together into this particular trend. For instance, the fusion of color found in the tie-dye trend are similar but a more muted version of the colors we have seen with the neon trend. Additionally, there are also many aspects of the tie-dye trend that has taken over spring fashion that contain the specific look and feel of spring. In my opinion, this just goes to show that…

Secret Sequins
I understand that black is not the most cheerful spring color, but I think this quarter length top is absolutely perfect for this time of year! With all of the grass becoming a little greener and the flowers blooming, black really contrasts against these light backgrounds. Of course, black is never really a cool that goes out of style, but it is defiantly not typical for the spring season. One exciting element of this top is the two strands of black sequins that are visible on both sleeves! Really this black top is so much more fashion forward because of those two strands that I like to call secret sequins…

Movie Monday: Monkey Business (1952)
It’s time to take a moment to laugh and celebrate a comedy this Movie Monday! If there is anyone who can master classic film comedy it is definitely Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers! Monkey Business is a funny and adorable film from what could be expressed as the typical 50’s style comedy. In Monkey Business Grant brings back the coke bottle glasses he wore in Bringing Up Baby and his comedic skills. This isn’t the same style of comedy he used in some other movies, though, like Arsenic and Old Lace. Monkey Business shows us an older more mature side of Cary Grant until it doesn’t and everything just begins…

How to Wear the Neon Trend This Spring
Months and months ago I predicted that neon was slowly becoming one of the trendiest color schemes of fall 2018. At the time I didn’t know it, but I was also predicting one of the biggest trends of spring 2019, too! I know that pastel is typically the colors that come to mind when you think of spring fashion, but I am here to say that there is most certainly plenty of room in the colorful spring market for more bold shades. Today, I want to expand on that prediction by talking a little bit about how you can incorporate neon into your spring wardrobe. #1. Try a bright version…

Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2019 for Women
Tom Ford’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection at New York Fashion Week was all about the details! He somehow connected a timeless color pallet with retro and modern elements in this collection while also giving us a glimpse into a more futuristic design! Let’s take a closer look shall we? Photos by Vogue Immediately the first thing you may notice with this runway show is the styling. The consistency with each model wearing a headscarf gives you the feeling of a modern society while also being very reminiscent of the 1920’s or even 60’s. Matter of fact, this whole collection is very much a picture of a modern take on 20’s fashion!…
