• Kate Spade Fall 2019

    Kate Spade does it again! It is easy to see the fall 2019 runway collection that was shown at New York Fashion Week took huge inspiration from the spring/summer collection that was shown last year. The fashion stands out and somehow also pays tribute to style of eras gone by. The 1960’s vibes are strong with the head scarf and the lightly flared pant designs. I love the look or straight down and flared pants. This retro look is something I have been championing since the beginning of Faintly Familiar and one I will probably always wear even when the runways decide to ditch the look. A lot of fall…

  • Samantha Stevens’ “Bewitching” Style

    With the Kate Spade show at New York Fashion Week and the impending Halloween holiday, the retro vibes are in full throttle with me right now! I just love how that show mixed the 60’s with a modern touch while still keeping it feminine and fun! It reminded me very much of the same style we would have seen Elizabeth Montgomery’s Samantha Stevens of Bewitched wear! Hence the inspiration for this post! Shall we explore the endless retro inspirations brought to you by the one and only Samantha Stevens? These photos are not mine. At the beginning of the show, we saw Samantha do her best to assimilate to what…

  • 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.

  • Floral Romper by Candie’s

    Photos taken by Darla Sigmon (@mcsig96 on Instagram) Similar to my look: Romper      Necklace Kohl’s is hands down one of my favorite places to shop, and this romper is a great example as to why! When I saw this adorable black romper with light pink flowers, excitement shot right through me! The slight bell sleeves that go to my elbows, and the lightweight fabric are just two of the reasons this romper is a hidden gem. The Candie’s brand consistently creates pieces that are on trend, yet timeless! With this romper, it flatters the body in all of the right places without being too revealing. Because of the…

  • R.I.P. Kate Spade

      On June 5th, 2018, the world lost a great creative mind. Kate Spade was an inspiration to me and many other individuals who loved her designs. Her iconic logo makes the heart of many people skip a beat when they see it because that was always a symbol for grace and style. I have loved Kate Spade’s design since the moment I saw my first purse from the design house. Was it the simplicity of design? The enticing textures used? Or was the Kate Spade logo so uniquely placed on the bag that everyone couldn’t help but automatically believe it was high end? For whatever reason, I knew I…
