Celine Spring 2020 for Men
I must admit, I was rather disappointed by the runways we saw for this spring 2020 men’s fashion week. After combing through all of the designer shows and seeing how they all look basically the same, there were only two specific runways that stood out to me enough to actually review. Celine is one of those two fashion shows that I have decided to write a Runway Review about! What stood out to me in this spring collection was the perfect mix of business and casual wear. If you look at the entire spring 2020 line up of men’s fashion, you will notice that pretty much every designer featured a…

Green with Envy
One of the freshest shades of the summertime season has appeared to be green. This color surrounds us in nature in the summertime, but that won’t stop me from letting it take over a small corner of my summer wardrobe. Green has been popping up everywhere in summer fashion lately. It feels like so many different styles are incorporating differing shades of green to liven things up and I am loving it! After finding this green striped top at Kohl’s, I know it would be the perfect addition to my summer closet and it would play well with a lot of different accessories. Instead of going with a pair of…

Let it Bee
As promised from my Look Book post about the Happy to “Bee” Here polo, I want to share a more in depth post about the bee symbol that seems to be everywhere in fashion. Bees are the symbol of the year! This happy little symbol is a reminder of fancier and happier things. As you can see, it is being used to inspire people to “bee” kind. I personally think this is such an adorable little symbol for the summer of 2019 and for the fashion that will be coming our way this year. High fashion is really what caused the happy little bumble bee to take over the fashion…

The Two-Toned Polo
I have been absolutely loving polos this summer! To me it is the perfect addition to any wardrobe because it is both classy and fun. Today I wanted to share another cute polo I will be wearing a ton this summer that reminds me so much of the gingham trend that was so popular last spring/summer. The one aspect of this polo that I am always drawn to is the two-toned style. With the collar being white and the print a nice navy blue, it really gives this polo a fun two-toned look. It really adds another pop to the overall outfit that wouldn’t be there if the collar was,…

The Underrated Style of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy
Any woman whose mother-in-law was Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis (I just wrote a post all about Jackie’s style too) would have been a little nervous when it came to filling in Jackie’s fashion shoes. However, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy was a strong, opinionated lady who knew what she liked. Today, I will be focusing on the underrated style of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and how she changed fashion forever. Although when we think of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s life we think of her untimely death, there is so much she contributed to life and fashion while she was alive. Modern street style would not be the same if it were not for Carolyn. Today, you can easily draw…

The Bucket Hat Trend
Something I have noticed a whole lot of this summer are hats, particularly bucket hats. These accessories were everywhere in the 90’s, and today they are making a resurgence into fashion. We saw bucket hats make a surprising appearance on the runway with Christian Dior on their fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear collection. The way that Dior styled these classic accessories really made them so much more sophisticated and cute. I had to go find myself one after I saw the Dior runway! The bucket hat I am wearing here is from Forever 21 and it features another trend that I will be writing about in the near future. Bucket hats are…

How to Style a Trench Coat for Spring
It’s no secret that trench coats are an absolute closet essential for both men and women. We often think of it as something that we should all own, but we really don’t know how to wear it. It becomes especially difficult to style in the springtime, but it doesn’t have to be! The spring season is the perfect time to break out the trench coat because of all the pretty cherry blossom trees and the in between weather. Although styling changes from season to season, the way I like to wear a trench coat (here is the EXACT trench coat I am wearing) in the spring is with bright colors!…
