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!…

How to Add a Little Spring Into Your Winter Wardrobe
I think we can all agree that January can feel a little dreary every once in a while. Between cabin fever and all of the cold weather (depending on your location – if you live near the beach I envy you), it can feel like this whole winter thing may never end. Well, I am here to say there is a better way to create a little reprieve! If you have been reading Faintly Familiar for a while now, you already know that neon has been the “it” color trend since the fall of 2018.

My Favorite Sherpa Pullover
Sherpa has become one of the trendiest materials of this winter! Sherpa can be found in numerous formats, but personal favorite is the pullover. I have a couple of different sherpa pullovers (because they are so warm and cozy), but the pullover I am going to talk about in this blog post is my personal favorite. Why is this one so special? Well, it is such a pretty mix of colors let’s just start out with that. Not to mention it has pockets (which is an all too rare quality in women’s clothing), this pullover is such a wintertime classic! If you don’t already own something that is sherpa related,…

What I’m Wearing for New Years Eve 2018
Sequins, sequins, and more sequins! It seems that New Years Eve is always about who can wear the most glitter. Well, this year I have decided to take a little bit of a more subtle approach to New Years Eve fashion. I am focusing my whole outfit around this chic and fun tweed jacket! If you look closely enough you can see there are indeed tiny sequins sewn into the fabric of this jacket. It adds that hopeful New Years feeling to every ensemble! In the photos above I paired this tweed jacket a couple of ways. The first one was with a cute black and white printed turtle neck,…

What I’m Wearing for Christmas Eve 2018
Oh the holiday season! Arguably one of my favorite times of the year! Why? Well, there is just something so magical in the air. Maybe it is the twinkling lights? Or the snow that sometimes covers the ground? Or maybe it is just because people seem to be a little more kind to one another this time of year? Whatever the reasoning is, one thing I do know for sure is that winter fashion has always been one of my favorites seasons to dress for! The addition of more layers makes the mixing and matching of closet staples with trendy accessories even more exciting than it normally is! I also…

The London Trip: Day 3
You may be wondering what we could have possibly done or seen on our third day in London, it sure does feel like we did a lot just in the first two days we were there.

If you haven’t read the first two blog posts I made for the first two days we spent in London, be sure to check out day 1 and day 2. The London Trip: Day 3 Abbey Road It was a typical rainy London day (you know, gotta get the full English experience), but…

The Electric Blue Cowl Neck Sweater
The winter season is creeping upon us as we all prepare for the holidays. Along with the changing season is much colder weather, but I am not afraid of being cold this year! This cowl neck sweater will be keeping me warm without having to wear a scarf. Normally I don’t love having tight or bulky things up around my neck, but with this cowl neck styled sweater I don’t have to worry about tying a tight scarf around my neck! At the same time, I also don’t have to worry about feeling constrained by the material. A cowl sweater is such a wintertime essential, in my opinion, and can…

There is nothing more special than seeing members of the family you rarely get to see, and spending some fun and quality time with them. For the season of being thankful, I am wearing a sweater that makes me feel soft and warm on the inside. With such a variety of choices, sweaters are my go-to staple for fall and winter.
