• Movie Monday: It (1927)

    Long before “It” became synonymous with Stephen King and his scary stories, “It” was known for making Clara Bow a superstar! This Movie Monday I am reviewing a classic film from the silent era that not too many people mention. It was a highly influential movie, in my opinion, and deserves a lot more credit for changing the film industry. The movie It is very modern in a lot of ways. That is not something you would really except from a film made in the 1920’s, but here I am saying it. The storyline follows a very progressive way of looking at romance stories, and never puts Clara Bow in…

  • City Chic Audrey Hepburn Style

    I know it may seem crazy depending on where you live and what the weather is like there, but lately here in the Midwest it has been a bit on the chilly side! Especially in the Windy City (A.K.A. Chicago) where I have recently spent a bit of time helping my brother move to. Although we have been busy lifting heavy boxes, it is never a bad idea to dress up for a day on the town! Recently, I shared how I like to style a trench coat in the springtime but today I am sharing another way to style a classic camel trench coat. Matter of fact, this entire…

    In light of the Miss Georgetown Fair Queen Information Tea being this Sunday, I felt that it was only right that I share some of the things I learned from pageantry. Specifically, what I learned as the 2016 Miss Georgetown Fair Queen. Some of the lessons I learned from pageantry I did not know was something I absorbed until I got to college and saw how useful they all were. So today I am going to share more than the average tips and lessons learned like smile and be approachable. I want this to truly give everyone a taste as to why pageantry is important and how there are some…

  • Green with Envy

    One of the freshest shades of the summertime season has appeared to be green. This color surrounds us in nature in the summertime, but that won’t stop me from letting it take over a small corner of my summer wardrobe. Green has been popping up everywhere in summer fashion lately. It feels like so many different styles are incorporating differing shades of green to liven things up and I am loving it! After finding this green striped top at Kohl’s, I know it would be the perfect addition to my summer closet and it would play well with a lot of different accessories. Instead of going with a pair of…

  • The Must Have Shoes of Summer 2019!

    If you are looking for a fun way to spice up your shoe closet this summer, platform heels are the way to go! Now, I know this seems scary. Platforms are rather intimidating to look at and think about walking in, but they are surprisingly sturdy. I have several pairs of platform heels and I have worn them several times before now, but I am thankful to see these shoes having the spotlight yet again. It may seem like a bit of a retro suggestion, but platforms have quickly become the shoe essential of summer 2019. There are so many different types of platforms out there with unique details that…

  • Designers That Changed Fashion: Edith Head

    Today I am starting an exciting new series that I am calling “Designers That Changed Fashion”! This new series will featured and is dedicated too designers that I feel have fundamentally changed the fashion industry forever. Today I wanted to start off with a designer that seems to be forgotten all too often. Edith Head was a fashion forward, sophisticated designer whose vision for the looks she was trying to create has gone down in history. Best known for her Old Hollywood costumes, Edith Head was always able to create a feeling and atmosphere that surrounded each character she dressed. Something I have picked up on after watching several films…

  • Let it Bee

    As promised from my Look Book post about the Happy to “Bee” Here polo, I want to share a more in depth post about the bee symbol that seems to be everywhere in fashion. Bees are the symbol of the year! This happy little symbol is a reminder of fancier and happier things. As you can see, it is being used to inspire people to “bee” kind. I personally think this is such an adorable little symbol for the summer of 2019 and for the fashion that will be coming our way this year. High fashion is really what caused the happy little bumble bee to take over the fashion…

  • Fashion According to That Girl

    One of the classic television shows I always loved to watch growing up was the show That Girl! The fashion featured in every episode was always one of my favorite aspects of That Girl and kept me tuning in. Today I want to share my analysis of the fashion displayed in the show That Girl and how it changed over the years. For five seasons Ann Marie of the show That Girl inspired generations of women (including myself) to follow their dreams. Another thing Ann happened to do was have a knack for dressing with all of the fashion trends! Over the course of the television show That Girl, Ann…

  • The Two-Toned Polo

    I have been absolutely loving polos this summer! To me it is the perfect addition to any wardrobe because it is both classy and fun. Today I wanted to share another cute polo I will be wearing a ton this summer that reminds me so much of the gingham trend that was so popular last spring/summer. The one aspect of this polo that I am always drawn to is the two-toned style. With the collar being white and the print a nice navy blue, it really gives this polo a fun two-toned look. It really adds another pop to the overall outfit that wouldn’t be there if the collar was,…
