Movie Monday: Pride and Prejudice (1940)
Because I had never seen one of her films before, I always wondered what all the Greer Garson buzz was about. After seeing Pride and Prejudice I finally understood why she is considered a legend. I fell in love with the story of Pride and Prejudice all over again when viewing this film, and became an instant fan of Garson! These photos are not mine. Originally, MGM’s Irving Thalberg purchased the rights to this Jane Austin romance novel as a role for Thalberg’s wife at the time, Norma Shearer. After Thalberg passed away in 1936, the process was paused for a time. Not long after Thalberg’s passing Greer Garson was selected as the…

Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2019 for Men
The men’s fashion at this year’s Ralph Lauren show was something rich and aspirational! The materials used, much like in the women’s collection, were mixed and beautifully designed! It was all about suits for the 50th anniversary of the Ralph Lauren brand, but each suit had a little uniqueness thrown in to add the Lauren touch! Photos by Vogue One of the most consistent parts of this collection is the fact that the designs, for men in particular, are not too loose fitting. Instead, they are tailored to precisely fit each model. This gives the fashion forward suits a more professional look while also being exceptionally designed with crushed velvet…

Tory Burch Spring/Summer 2019
Tory Burch gave us something to think about with this collection. The question raised with these designs are, “How do you make something almost completely different, yet with your invisible fingerprint on it all at the same time?” Well, whatever the answer is to this question Tory Burch figured it out seamlessly! Photos by Vogue We are used to seeing Tory Burch pieces that are very colorful and with lots of prints. But while all of the other designers are currently experimenting with mixing prints, Tory Burch its experimenting with basics! She took what she was known for, and toned it down. All the while, these designs are still unmistakably…

Kate Spade Spring/Summer 2019
Despite all of the fun and fashion, New York Fashion Week was also a emotional milestone. This was the first fashion show after the loss of company founder Kate Spade. There were many impactful tributes dedicated to her, from the all pink runway to the programs with the iconic quote “She left a little sparkle wherever she went”. This collection will be a memorable one for the brand for many reasons, only one being how amazing all of these pieces are. Photos by Vogue This whole runway show seemed to be 60’s inspired and I loved every bit of it! From the fun prints to the all pink outfits, this…

Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2019 for Men
The Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2019 New York Fashion Week runway show was one that will be very memorable for many reasons, and one of those being the men’s styles we saw. The mix of designs and materials that we saw on the women’s fashion were a little different from what saw on the men. Photos by Vogue Where the ladies’ designs were more 1920’s inspired, the men’s seemed to be more aligned with the 1970’s. The domination of suits made for a very classy runway, yet kept a much more relaxed feel. There were no ties or strict buttoning rather the addition of a scarf gave these these suits a…

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?

Long before he was the beloved sheriff of a little town called Mayberry, Andy Griffith played a southern jailbird named Lonesome Rhodes.
