Embracing Mint Green for Fall
Mint green can be a really tricky color to pull off, but when done correctly it can be a real knockout win in the fashion department! This color also acts as the perfect transitional color from summer wardrobe to fall wardrobe. The way I have been tackling the sometimes hard to wear shade of mint green is by wearing my best auburn button up skirt. This skirt falls right in line with the exposed buttons trend and also adds a little flavor of fall. While it is still pretty hot outside where I live, this tank top and skirt combo is perfect for staying cool out and looking fashionable! Although…

The New York Fashion Week Inspired T-Shirt
Not to be dramatic or anything, but I made my first ever purchase from the fashion brand known as Zara and I am pretty proud of it! Shopping at Zara may seem like something that is pretty casual to some people, but to me it was a moment I will never forget. Ever since the age of about eleven I have loved the fashion brand Zara.

Movie Monday: Paris When It Sizzles (1964)
It has been a while since I reviewed a Audrey Hepburn film and, in my opinion, that is just unacceptable! So today that changes! The featured film this Movie Monday, and one of my favorite Audrey Hepburn movies, is Paris When It Sizzles! Back when this film premiered, Paris When It Sizzles was not a considered a classic. This was actually one of Hepburn’s more underrated movies, but I cannot understand why! The storyline in this film is full of creativity and excitement! There is also a lot of humor that is found within the lines and story plot of Paris When It Sizzles. Typically, when I look for a…
