The Happy Camper
A summertime highlight is typically a camping trip, however, I am taking this summer tradition to the next level by including it in my wardrobe! Personally, I think the idea of spending time in the great outdoors and taking in nature is what summer is all about, so naturally I wanted to celebrate this special time of the year with a fun top! Land’s End is one of my favorite brands and when I saw this button up tank top on their website I absolutely fell in love! This is such a cute and simple print for any article of clothing, but it is especially appropriate for a tank top!…

Fashion on Gilligan’s Island
Although Gilligan’s Island only ran for three seasons (appropriate since they were all supposed to only be on a three hour tour anyway), this 1960s show made a huge splash in to even our modern popular culture. Today, I am going to be focusing on the fashion that is on display for the ladies in this show particularly. There are a ton of different looks and outfits that are featured in each episode, and none of the characters even knew they were going to be shipwrecked! Mary Ann Since Mary Ann wasn’t included in the original Gilligan’s Island theme song, I am going to talk about her fashion while on…

Flamin-go Big or Go Home
There are a whole lot of flamingos this summer! Everywhere you look it seems that a flamingo theme will be there whether it’s home decor, fashion, or fun trinkets. Today I am going to take a deeper look into this phenomenon and dissect why this is happening in 2019 instead of any other year. I would say that a major reason the flamingo has gotten such a popularity boost is because of this year’s Met Gala theme. Camp was the confusing and exciting theme for the 2019 Met Gala, and we saw celebrities go all out for this over the top aesthetic. Flamingos are flamboyant creatures, ones that really stand…

The Perfect Mid-July Dress
One way to beat the heat in the summertime is to wear something comfortable, and one item in my summer wardrobe that always keeps me relaxed is a good summer dress! Nothing looks more like you tried really hard to dress up than a dress, but the beauty in this outfit is dresses are so easy you don’t even have to put on pants! The dress I am wearing here is what I would describe as the perfect mid-July dress. Not only are the colors perfect for a 4th of July celebration, but it also fits within the bright colors that are typically found this time of year. Personally I…

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…

Benefit BADgal BANG Mascara Review
Full disclosure here, this review is not sponsored in any way at all. This is just me being more excited about trying a new mascara than any normal person should be, and I really wanted to share my thoughts on the product. I am not going to pretend that I am a makeup guru and Faintly Familiar has never been much of a place for discussing makeup, but I do like to play around with different brands and items within the beauty industry. Now, I am not very skilled at makeup in general, but I always find myself drawn to mascaras and their many promises for longer and more full…

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…

The Exposed Buttons Trend
For a while now I have been seeing a ton of buttons! By that I mean when you go shopping there are a lot of cute pairs of shorts and jeans that are taking part in the exposed buttons trend. This trend has gained some traction during the summer, but I am seeing it as more of a fall and winter trend. The exposed buttons trend is one to keep an eye out for during the upcoming fall season, but if you are like me and you cannot wait that long there are a bunch of really cute shorts that have these buttons. Old Navy has a great selection to…

What I Wore for the 4th of July 2019
It was a very eventful 4th of July for my family and I! More on what we did all day will be coming later this week, but today I am sharing what I wore for this very special holiday. I have been loving button up tank tops this summer and this style came in especially handy since the 4th of July was extraordinarily hot the year. This festive button up tank top was a lucky find from Kohl’s. I love how subtle the star print is on this blouse, and the shade of blue is very perfect for this particular patriotic holiday. To style this outfit I worn a classic…

Dior Spring 2020 for Men
The final collection from the spring 2020 men’s runways that I will be reviewing is the Dior runway. Although I am disappointed that Dior did not stray from the typical pastels of the springtime, I do like that there were some textures and designs added to these looks. For instance, the shoes for this collection had a very gummy like texture and look to them that really amplified the overall neutral color tone of the runway. I also enjoyed that once in a while a bright color made a special appearance on the Dior runway. This bright shade especially stood out against the white and pastels that dominated. Another element…
