Long Sleeve Crop Top Fall Comeback
This top above is one of the cutest, simple crop tops that would be perfect for fall! I found it online at So Aesthetic. I’m calling it now, the long sleeved crop top will be the must have for this fall! Although you would think of the crop top as strictly a summer trend, the long sleeved crop top easily slides right into the fall without any trouble. Crop tops have been back in style for a while now, but this summer there were many twists added to the simple design. We saw them become a little more uniquely trimmed with things like color blocking and embroidery. For colder days and even cooler looks,…

Generations of Bergmans
In a book about Grace Kelly that I once read years ago, it said she wrote in her high school yearbook that her favorite actress was Ingrid Bergman. If you really think about this though, it makes sense. Yes, Bergman was a popular actress during the very impressionable years of Grace Kelly’s life, but Kelly also had the natural beauty that Ingrid possessed. These photos are not mine. Similar face shapes, hairstyles, eyebrow shape, and smiles. Both of these women were stunning, but at the heart of this story many generations later women are still trying to capture the beauty of these women. Today, many women in Hollywood wear vintage…

ILYMIX Sunglasses
Something that may surprise you to learn about me (or maybe not) is that I am a little clumsy with my sunglasses. Naturally I a gravitate towards the cheapest pairs I can find because I know that I will either drop or scratch them. So when I opened my mailbox to see a box from the ILYMIX brand I could barely contain my excitement! The first think I noticed when I saw these sunglasses was how well made and sturdy they are! I felt like I could trust myself so much more wearing and using these sunglasses without breaking them. Besides all of that, the styles are so one trend…

Movie Monday: Rear Window (1954)
These photos are not mine. Possibly one of the most iconic Hitchcock films, Rear Window has a special place in cinema history. This was one of the first movies Hitchcock made in color. There are many fascinating aspects to this film, but one I found particularly interesting was in order to simulate daylight the set required numerous lights. With all of the necessary lamps on the set, at one point the heat they generated set off the sprinkler system! Rear Window was one of five Hitchcock films that was off limits for years because of production rights. Alfred Hitchcock bought back the rights to these “Five Lost Hitchcocks” and left…

However you style it,…

Movie Monday: Casablanca (1942)
These photos are not mine. Casablanca is arguably one of the most iconic and influential films to ever hit the silver screen! The music, the movie lines, the clothes, and the love story are all components that helped catapult this movie into instant success! At the time of Casablanca‘s release, the world was in complete turmoil. It was in the midst of World War II and many people went to the theatre to escape reality even if it was just for a little while. Rick and Ilsa’s love story endeared audiences all over the world, and impacted society in a way those who made the film would have never thought.…

“Kind is the New Cool” Tee
Similar to my look: T-shirt Shorts Birkenstocks Haven’t you heard? Kind is the new cool! Actually, being kind is always cool, but this t-shirt was too cute not to purchase! This inspirational, classic white tee came from a little boutique on my college campus, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champiagn. The shop is called Fira Boutique, and I fell in love with their clothes the minute I saw the store front! It is a quant little place located a little outside of the heart of campus, but all in all it is one of my favorite shops. If you go to UIUC,…

Red, White, & Fabulous!
Similar to my look: Top Shorts This year has absolutely flown by! I can’t believe it was the fourth of July! (Yes, I did mean to rhyme) I decided to sport a tank this year with a pink/red tint to it and a unstructured peplum bottom. Coupled with cutoff, denim shorts and I was ready to roll! It was a rather hot fourth of July this year here in the Midwest, so the sleeveless look kept me as cool as a cucumber. This look works for way more than just the fourth of July, though. It would be a stunning ensemble to a picnic, family outing,…
