The Must Have Bag of Fall 2019
Bags are the kind of accessory that you can easily switch up depending on the outfit you are wearing and complete the overall look. They are also an accessory that can change the appearance of an outfit you are rewearing (because, let’s be honest, we all rewear outfits and there is nothing wrong with that) and just by choosing a different bag you can reinvent the entire feeling of that ensemble. Despite the chameleon-like effect bags have on an outfit, there are always those few silhouettes or sizes that you may prefer. These are the classic, go-to fashion items that create what you will be known for in your daily…

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…

There is a new fashion trend on the horizon for both this summer/fall of 2019 and into 2020.

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…

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…

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…
