Movie Monday: The Thrill of It All (1963)
The classic film we are talking about on this #MovieMonday is The Thrill of It All! Doris Day always knew how make a film both lighthearted and memorable, and with James Garner by her side there was no way this movie wouldn’t end up a classic! Day was the on-screen darling of the 1960’s so it is no wonder she made a lot of hits throughout the decade. This is one of her most famous movies that didn’t have another one of her favorite co-stars in it, Rock Hudson. These photos are not mine. This is another one of those films that’s especially fun for people who love advertising. In…

A Thanksgiving Travel Look
The holiday travel season is officially upon us! With Thanksgiving just right around the corner (that is if you live in the United States), it is time we start thinking about traveling and packing all of the fashionable essentials! What are my go-to travel looks? Well, in the fall and winter months I love to layer! A good vest or jacket can go a long way in my book! With this look above, I am wearing two of my favorite colors: blue and gold. Pairing these colors together add so much fun and spice to an otherwise earthy toned season. The contrast between the bright yellow and navy blue is…

The Wonderful Style of Diana Prince
If you know me you also know just how big of a fan I am of Wonder Woman. I was hooked from the moment I watched the first episode of the 1970’s Wonder Woman show. Now that the iconic superhero has her own film, my love for this character has grown even more! Throughout the many years of Wonder Woman’s existence, we have seen her costume change with the time era she was in. It is commonly debated as to which Wonder Woman suit may be better than another, but what you hear little about is how Wonder Woman’s alter ego Diana Prince has changed her style over the years,…

Movie Monday: Leave Her to Heaven (1945)
On this Movie Monday, we a discussion one of the last great noir films: Leave Her to Heaven. The color pallet used in this film is not one you would expect of a drama/mystery. Technicolor was used to its utmost in this movie and it added to the intense plot that thickened as it went along. These photos are not mine. Although today we consider Leave Her to Heaven a classic, this movie did not go over as well with critics in 1945. Despite this, the story arch in this spoke to audiences at the time and was one of the highest grossing movies for 20th Century Fox in the 1940s.…

Plaid Made Chic
Fall is known for bringing out everyone’s secret love for flannels and plaids. Blame it on the chilling weather or the clouds that begin to gather in the sky, whatever the reason plaid is one of my go-to prints for fall fashion! I always love to find an oversized top, like this one, and tuck it in. This gives outfits a more layered look, in my opinion. For an even more layers, couple a plaid top with a denim jacket or a cool vest and you’ve got yourself a winning combination! Normally, with a black plaid blouse, like the one I am wearing, you might wear it with black skinny…

Halloween is the holiday when you become whatever you wish you could be! However, I am skipping the whole costume routine this year. Instead I have another method to go about dressing up this year that doesn’t involve having to put on an actual costume. It is as simple as wearing a shirt and jeans!

Movie Monday: Frankenstein (1931)
Since Halloween is this Wednesday, I am going to end our month long scary themed classic films series with a classic: Frankenstein. This household name and story has been around for 200 years, and what better way to end the Halloween theme than to celebrate this milestone! These photos are not mine. This classic horror film set the tone for the whole genre when it premiered in Santa Barbara in 1931. The Frankenstein novel was written by Mary Shelley and, when made into a film, the set was created to be all that the readers of the novel had dreamed of and more. Even to this day you can see…

It had been years since I went pumpkin picking so this was an extra special occasion,…
