The New York Fashion Week Inspired T-Shirt
Not to be dramatic or anything, but I made my first ever purchase from the fashion brand known as Zara and I am pretty proud of it! Shopping at Zara may seem like something that is pretty casual to some people, but to me it was a moment I will never forget. Ever since the age of about eleven I have loved the fashion brand Zara. This love was not spurred on just from the fabulous fashion that they have, but also because of the women I looked up to who wore this brand. Exhibit A: The Duchess of Cambridge (A.K.A. Kate Middleton)! Kate Middleton has been a source of…

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…

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…

Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2019 for Men
The men’s fashion at this year’s Ralph Lauren show was something rich and aspirational! The materials used, much like in the women’s collection, were mixed and beautifully designed! It was all about suits for the 50th anniversary of the Ralph Lauren brand, but each suit had a little uniqueness thrown in to add the Lauren touch! Photos by Vogue One of the most consistent parts of this collection is the fact that the designs, for men in particular, are not too loose fitting. Instead, they are tailored to precisely fit each model. This gives the fashion forward suits a more professional look while also being exceptionally designed with crushed velvet…

Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2019 for Women
The old soul in me simply loved the Ralph Lauren 5oth anniversary runway show this New York Fashion Week! There were so many different elements jam-packed into one show, yet his collection remained so cohesive! What was most prevalent trend you noticed in this show you ask? The accessories! Photos by Vogue We saw a touch of New York and a touch of London mixed into a super modern and super classic collection with men’s and women’s fashion for Ralph Lauren. The rustic and modern vibes ran through the structure of each piece and the overall color scheme. The muted browns, blacks, and burgundy are all colors you would normally…

Tory Burch Spring/Summer 2019
Tory Burch gave us something to think about with this collection. The question raised with these designs are, “How do you make something almost completely different, yet with your invisible fingerprint on it all at the same time?” Well, whatever the answer is to this question Tory Burch figured it out seamlessly! Photos by Vogue We are used to seeing Tory Burch pieces that are very colorful and with lots of prints. But while all of the other designers are currently experimenting with mixing prints, Tory Burch its experimenting with basics! She took what she was known for, and toned it down. All the while, these designs are still unmistakably…

Movie Monday: Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)
Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) movie poster Today’ #MovieMonday will be all about reviewing the timeless style of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961). It is safe to say that Audrey served up some serious looks in this film so lets get started! These photos are not mine. Breakfast at Tiffany’s is easily one of the most influential movies, stylistically speaking, to hit the silver screen since…well probably another Audrey Hepburn film. Unlike Sabrina (1954) or Roman Holiday (1953), Audrey is no longer playing characters who are young and somewhat naive. In this film she is a mature woman who knows how to make a decision for herself, and those traits are clearly articulated in the…
